Moomoo, the leading global investment and trading platform, has announced the return of its Global Paper Trading Competition, now in its second year. Powered by Nasdaq TotalView®, the six-week competition gives users the opportunity to trade U.S. stocks, ETFs, and options using $100,000 in virtual funds — all with zero financial risk. Participants can compete for a share of $200,000 in cash rewards while honing their investing skills in real-time market conditions.
This year’s competition, themed “Moove to the Next Level”, introduces a new layer of sophistication by integrating Moomoo AI, the platform’s intelligent investing assistant. Designed to provide instant insights and simplify complex data, Moomoo AI will be available 24/7 to help participants make informed virtual trades throughout the challenge.
In partnership with Nasdaq, all participants will receive one month of free access to Nasdaq TotalView®, offering full depth-of-book market data and visibility into every order and price level on Nasdaq-listed securities.
