WCTC:
Traders have been competing in the World Cup Trading Championships since 1983. The WCTC is the longest running, real-money trading contest in the world. Traders compete because it is easy to enter, fun to participate and potentially very rewarding. It's the ultimate way to test your skills and earn the respect of the trading community. In the 2014 World Cup Championship of Futures Trading traders use their own strategies. Some day-trade, while others hold their positions for weeks or months. Some use discretionary methods, while others use computerized programs. Each trader has one goal in mind: Post the highest possible net return by the end of the competition. Account minimum is $10,000 and there is no entry fee.
Strong World Cup Championship performances produce track records that can be used to promote live trading programs on WorldCupAdvisor.com, where the public is invited to automatically make the same trades as WCA advisors on a monthly subscription basis.
What does it take to win?
It can vary dramatically from year to year. In 1987, Larry Williams won the year-long World Cup Championship of Futures Trading with an astounding 11,376% net return. In 2001, a modest 53% return captured the crown.
