Stock Trading Competitions

Stock Trading Competitions is a web application, which allows website owners to run virtual trading contests and let visitors compete in trading stocks without putting any money at risk. With the help of such features as recurring competitions and trading bots the application can be run in fully auto pilot mode.

Features

• Unlimited number of trading competitions (each competition can be set up with different starting balance, duration, number of participants, leverage, lot size, min / max volume, stocks allowed for trading).
• More than 6000 stocks to trade.
• NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX stock exchanges.
• Multi-currency support.
• Live stock quotes.
• Historical stock charts.
• Instant trade execution.
• Real-time position valuation (equity, profit / loss, free margin).
• Automatic margin calls.
• Reward points system.
• Competition leaderboard and global rankings.
• User dashboard.
• In-depth trading statistics.

• Google Tag Manager (GTM) integration.
• Google AdSense ads.
• Google reCaptcha validation.
• User emails verification.
• GDPR compliant.

Admin panel features

The following app settings can be adjusted through the admin panel:

• Dashboard with statistics.
• Stocks management (view, create, edit, delete).
• Competitions management (view, create, edit, clone, delete).
• Trades management (view only).
• Users management (view, block, edit, delete).
• Settings (customize color theme, default language, number formatting, points and other settings).
• Maintenance (clear cache, run database updates, execute scheduled tasks).

Bots

Bots are users that can trade on their own without user intervention. An administrator can create and add any number of bots to any competition. If there are bots in a competition then every 5 minutes the app will wake them up. Every bot will open a random number of trades (min and max number of trades that can be open during each cycle can be specified in the app settings). The asset to trade will be randomly picked up from the list of top N assets (where N is a number, which can be specified in the settings). Trade direction and volume will also be randomly generated. Every bot will also check if there are any previously open trades whose life time exceeds the min trade life time (specified in the settings). If so the bot will close a random number of such trades (min and max number of trades that can be closed during each cycle can be specified in the app settings).

Add-ons

Accounting & Cash Competitions

Accounting & Cash Competitions Add-on offers additional monetization capabilities and allows an administrator to take fees for participating in trading contests and optionally pay reward to the winners.
