As we make our way towards the new year, let’s take a moment to appreciate the winners and contenders of the latest edition of The Leap, co-marketed with TradeStation.
3,621,088, trades, 82,042 participants, $50,000 in prizes, four weeks of trading, and one global, risk-free paper trading competition. Over the last month, participants put their skills to the test, trading futures on the S&P 500, gold, and even Bitcoin. With derivatives’ volatile nature and market swings that demanded precision and strategy, the competition pushed even the most experienced traders to their limits.
