I often see discussions about the spot trading competitions on certain leading exchanges, and I always feel that those at the top are either insiders or project teams manipulating the results. To be honest, this idea overestimates the importance of the participants.

Looking at it from another angle, even if all contestants are internal accounts, they still have to follow the normal trading procedures, right? Do you really think they would directly fake the leaderboard? That would be underestimating the professionalism of the exchange. Employees already earn decent salaries, so there's no need to go through all that just for competition rewards; the risks and rewards are simply not worth it.

What is the reality? Everyone is actually on the same starting line. Instead of obsessing over these theories, it’s better to think about how to jump from 50th to 20th place, and then fight to break into the top 5. Complaints and conspiracy theories won’t change anything; this is the same on any trading platform or in any competitive environment.

The only real way out is to improve your trading skills, fund management, and market understanding. By doing these, you can find opportunities wherever you are.
