Something interesting to take a look at is the 1st place winners trading history. Zhai Zhuobi made only 11 trades during the entire month of February to clinch first place with an +1100% return. And most of those trades were held for at least a day or more.

I find it interesting because many times traders think these types of contests are won by aggressively overtrading the account and going for a lot of small profits. Granted some of the winners do trade a lot; however, this is a good example of a swing trader coming out on top.
