Do Trading Competitions Bring Out Your Best Skills?

lol winning $100 and $250 in small contests is nice but seriously, does it really prove your ‘best skills’? Most comp winners I’ve seen have bots or insane setups. If you’re just doing FA and ‘smart money flows,’ you’re missing half the game. Also, minimal TA? That’s risky AF in these fast moves. Competitions can bring pressure but they also show who’s got the edge in speed and algo power. Just my 2 sats.
