Traders, are you ready to up your game?
Do you want to make the transition from being a trader trying to catch a lucky ride on the charts to being a trader who has what it takes to trade at a professional level and manage a fund?
Well here is your chance to prove to yourself, and to all those who will follow your journey on this competition that you have what it takes.
We challenge you to put a sensible trading plan in place and stick to it, practice good risk management and do not allow your emotions to get in the way of achieving a great annualised return.
Our artificial intelligence (AI) Money Manager Ranking algorithm factors in all key areas of trading such as risk management, stability and profitability and ranks you accordingly. So, it is not just about how much profit you make, but how you make it.
Accept the challenge today. Even if you do not win, you are very likely to emerge as a better, more confident trader on the other side.
Fund Managers, are you ready to attract new investors?
Being a fund manager is all about producing that smooth equity curve to show investors your performance over time, stability, and ability to produce a respectable return year on year.
By entering Trading Cup, you will now have the ability to showcase your ability as a fund manager on the world stage.
It is the perfect platform to attract new investors and clients.
Are you ready to show the world how to manage a fund?
Our artificial intelligence (AI)-MMR ranking algorithm is a game-changer.
With advanced machine-learning and artificial intelligence embedded within, our custom-made Money Manager Ranking/Match Making Rating (MMR) algorithm is the first of its kind in the world of competitive trading.
The state-of-art ranking algorithm takes into consideration not only profitability but also risk management, long term stability, risk-adjusted returns, draw-down levels, and longevity to match contenders with comparable skill levels and stacks them against each other - rewarding traders for profitability as well as for well-planed and responsible trading.
What you are ranked on
To ensure that traders are ranked fairly we reward them in all the key areas that makes a good trader. We allocate dynamic weighting to key metrics such as average return, winning percentage, sum profit VS sum loss, maximum drawdown, sharpe ratio, calmar ratio and of course standard deviation.
