Trading competitions have quickly become a powerful tool for boosting engagement in prop firms. Now, with the new prop firm competition feature available on the YourPropFirm dashboard, firms can add a whole new layer of excitement for their traders. These competitions not only offer traders a chance to showcase their skills, but also help prop firms create a more dynamic and competitive environment.
By incorporating trading competitions into your firm, you can drive greater participation and foster a sense of community among your traders. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to keep traders motivated and invested in their growth. This new feature gives prop firm admins more control, allowing them to manage every detail of the competition, from setup to real-time tracking, all within the dashboard.
What’s New in Prop Firm Competitions
The latest prop firm competition feature on YourPropFirm’s dashboard makes it easier than ever for traders and admins to stay engaged. Traders can now quickly join competitions, track their progress, and see live results—all from the same interface. Admins have more control over how competitions are organized and managed, with tools that allow them to create, edit, and monitor events with ease.
Everything about the competition process has been streamlined to keep traders focused and active. Whether you want to host multiple competitions or track detailed performance data, the dashboard offers everything you need in one place. With this update, you can provide traders a more exciting and competitive environment that keeps them motivated and coming back for more.
Active and Upcoming Competitions
The new prop firm competition feature lets traders easily browse through active and upcoming competitions. Everything is laid out in a clear, user-friendly list. Traders can view key details like the competition’s name, when it starts, and the prize pool that’s up for grabs. There’s even a handy feature that allows users to copy the competition ID, making it simple to join through an API if needed.
By having all this information at their fingertips, traders can plan ahead, sign up early, and stay informed about future events. This not only builds excitement but also encourages participation in multiple competitions. For prop firm admins, it’s an efficient way to keep everyone up to date without having to manually manage sign-ups or send out reminders.
The ability to easily find and join prop firm competitions through the dashboard adds convenience for traders and makes sure they don’t miss out on any upcoming opportunities.
Past Competitions
The prop firm competition feature also includes a section for past competitions, allowing traders to review results and track their progress. The past competitions list is limited to the last 30 events, providing a focused view of recent contests. Traders can look back at their performance, see where they placed, and learn from past results to refine their strategies.
This historical data isn’t just useful for traders—it’s a great resource for admins too. By reviewing the outcomes of past prop firm competitions, admins can gather insights into which types of competitions generate the most engagement and tailor future events accordingly. Whether you’re looking to improve or analyze competition performance, this section provides a valuable overview.
Keeping track of past prop firm competitions helps maintain continuity and provides traders and admins with actionable information to enhance future performance.
Joining Restrictions and Fair Play
One key rule of the prop firm competition feature is the strict joining restriction: no new contestants can join once a competition has started or finished. This ensures fair play across the board. Locking in participants before the start of the competition prevents anyone from jumping in mid-way or after the contest has ended, which keeps the playing field level for everyone involved.
This approach guarantees that all traders have equal footing from the moment the competition begins, maintaining integrity throughout. For prop firm admins, this rule helps maintain organization and prevents last-minute confusion or complications.
Traders are encouraged to act fast and sign up while competitions are still in the upcoming phase. This system makes each prop firm competition more engaging and ensures that participants are fully committed from the start.
Live Standings and Leaderboard
Once a prop firm competition is underway, traders can track their progress in real-time through the live standings feature. This constantly updated leaderboard shows the current rankings, profits, and how far each contestant is from the leader. It’s a great motivator for traders to push harder, as they can see exactly where they stand and how close they are to overtaking the top spots.
The standings maintain a balance between transparency and privacy. While contestants’ ranks and performance are visible, only partial usernames are displayed to protect their identity. This keeps the competition fierce without exposing personal details.
The live leaderboard adds a layer of excitement, giving both participants and spectators a clear view of how the competition is unfolding. Watching the rise and fall of contestant rankings keeps everyone on their toes and makes each prop firm competition more intense.
Detailed Contestant Performance
In each prop firm competition, traders and spectators can dive deep into the performance stats of individual contestants. This detailed view provides a comprehensive breakdown of each participant’s trading activity, offering insights into what’s driving their success—or what’s holding them back.
The performance stats include key metrics such as the contestant’s current equity, balance, cumulative profit and loss (PnL), and total profit. For those looking to understand the strategies behind the top traders, you can also see data on the most traded symbols, win/loss rates, total trades, and closed positions.
This level of detail helps traders analyze what’s working for the top performers and apply those insights to their own trading strategies. Admins and spectators alike can also get a clearer picture of how each contestant is performing over the course of the competition.
By offering transparency into individual stats, the prop firm competition feature doesn’t just fuel competition—it helps traders learn and improve based on real-time data from their peers.
Admin Controls for Competitions
The prop firm competition feature gives admins powerful tools to create, manage, and oversee competitions with ease. Whether you’re setting up a new competition or managing an ongoing one, the dashboard provides all the control needed to keep everything running smoothly.
For upcoming competitions, admins have the flexibility to edit key details such as the name, prize pool, start date, and more. This gives them the ability to fine-tune the event before it begins. However, once a competition goes live, editing becomes more limited to prevent any disruption for participants. Major changes to active competitions are restricted to keep things fair and consistent for everyone involved.
After a competition wraps up, admins can no longer make edits, ensuring that the results remain final and accurate. This preserves the integrity of past prop firm competitions and allows traders to trust the outcome.
With these admin controls, prop firms can efficiently organize competitions, maintain fairness, and keep their traders engaged with minimal effort.
Privacy and Transparency in Competitions
One of the standout features of the prop firm competition system is how it balances transparency with privacy. In the standings, usernames and account details are only partially visible, which helps protect contestants’ identities while still allowing for competition tracking.
This level of privacy is critical in a competitive environment where traders may not want to reveal too much information to their peers. However, the platform ensures enough detail is provided so that everyone can still follow the competition and see who’s performing well. This balance keeps the competition fair and engaging without compromising anyone’s privacy.
By maintaining this careful balance, the prop firm competition feature encourages participation while respecting the confidentiality of its users, ensuring that traders can focus on their performance without worrying about exposure.
Enhancements for Sorting and Organization
As part of the latest prop firm competition update, admins can now take advantage of enhanced sorting features. Using query parameters, admins can easily organize competition lists based on various criteria such as start date, prize pool, or number of participants. This allows for better management of multiple ongoing and upcoming competitions.
These sorting features don’t just make it easier for admins to navigate the dashboard—they also enable more efficient sharing of competition data. Admins can quickly generate and share specific views with other team members or even traders who need detailed information on certain events.
This enhanced level of organization ensures that admins can maintain control over every aspect of their prop firm competitions without getting bogged down in manual data handling. It’s another tool to make managing competitions smooth and hassle-free, giving prop firms more time to focus on creating engaging and exciting events for their traders.
