TradingView has introduced community trading contests, enabling users to create and host custom paper trading competitions with self-defined rules and parameters. The feature is available on paid plans and trials, allowing participants to organize contests for friends, colleagues, followers, or broader audiences without requiring additional infrastructure. Each contest runs on a shared leaderboard ranked by realized profit, with no resets during the competition period.
- Setup Time: Contest creation takes minutes
- Tradable Assets: Crypto, forex, and custom symbol lists supported in paper trading
- Duration Options: One hour to four weeks
- Contest Access: Free to join for any TradingView account holder
- Account Type: Dedicated contest accounts exist only for the competition duration
Organizers can set starting balances, leverage levels, and choose whether contests remain private or open to the public. Each participant receives an isolated contest account, ensuring competition integrity. The platform tracks all trades automatically, eliminating manual record-keeping. Invitations are distributed via shareable links, streamlining participant recruitment.
The feature targets content creators, educators, and community leaders seeking engagement mechanisms tied to market events. Potential use cases include organizing competitions around earnings seasons, product launches, or significant market movements. Users can browse active contests on the Community contests page or launch new competitions immediately.
