HOW TO USE COMPETITION RESULTS FOR MARKETING
What to Post at Each Stage
During competition (days 1–last day):
- Day 1: "Just entered the [Firm] monthly competition — tracking my progress live"
- Mid-competition: "Currently ranked #X out of Y traders" (screenshot Blue Guardian's fully public leaderboard)
- Any strong day: "Up X% today in the [Firm] competition — here's the setup I used"
After competition:
- Final rank screenshot — post on ALL platforms immediately
- Even rank 50 out of 3,000 = "Top 1.7% of traders this month"
- Even rank 200 out of 20,000 = "Top 1% of traders in The5ers competition"
- Write a breakdown: "what I traded, what worked, what didn't"
The math you should always calculate:
Your rank / Total participants = Your percentile
Example: rank 47 / 3,084 participants = top 1.5%
"I finished top 1.5% out of 3,084 traders from 50+ countries"
is a marketing statement that most coaches cannot match.
Physical Certificates for Competition Wins
- Funded Award (fundedaward.com): Premium acrylic plaques from any prop firm certificate or competition win
- Trading Trophy (tradingtrophy.com): Same concept — physical display trophies
These create high-engagement social media content. A photo of a physical funded trader plaque outperforms a screenshot post by 3–5× on Instagram.
