See full text

In general, in one aspect, a method for motivating participants in a plurality of trading competitions includes conducting a plurality of trading competitions in which contestants each trade a portfolio of securities. In each competition, the contestants' performance is evaluated. Performance may be evaluated as straight return and/or may include other factors such as volatility, strategy selected, and so on. The performance of a benchmark is evaluated. Points may be assigned to each contestant based on the performance of the contestant in comparison to the benchmark. A contestant's assigned points from each of the plurality of competitions may be aggregated, and prizes awarded to contestants receiving the greatest number of aggregated points in a time period.
