JERSEY CITY, N.J., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moomoo, a leading global investment and trading platform, has opened registration and trading for its third Global Paper Trading Competition, marking the third consecutive year of its collaboration with Nasdaq TotalView® to advance investor education.
As part of Moomoo’s long-term commitment to helping investors build practical market knowledge, this year’s competition—held under the theme “Real Market, Real Edge“—enables participants to test their strategies in real-market conditions using Moomoo’s paper trading capabilities and Nasdaq’s professional-grade market data, with zero risk of losing real money, while enjoying a lively, community-driven experience of competing and exchanging ideas with more than 31 million fellow investors worldwide.
Running from October 12 through November 20 (ET), the competition also introduces AI Companions for the first time, enabling participants to select from four different types of AI assistants —Steady Explorer, Sector Navigator, Short-term Sniper, and Quant Trader—based on their investing philosophies and strategies. Investors across the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong SAR can compete for a share of US$200,000 in trading coupons while gaining hands-on experience with professional investing resources.
Real Market, Real Edge with Nasdaq TotalView®
Reflecting the shared commitment of Moomoo and Nasdaq to investor education, all participants will receive one month of complimentary access to Nasdaq TotalView®, Nasdaq’s comprehensive depth-of-book market data feed. By providing a more detailed view of displayed orders and market activity, TotalView® helps participants gain deeper market insights, better understand market dynamics, and assess their trading strategies using professional-grade market data.
Throughout the competition, participants will receive US$100,000 in virtual capital to trade U.S. stocks, ETFs, and options across pre-market, regular trading, and after-hours sessions. By testing their ideas against real market movements without putting real capital at risk, participants can explore different approaches, evaluate their strategies, and gain practical trading experience in a realistic market environment.
Introducing AI Companions: A New Dimension to Trading Research
This year’s competition introduces an innovative feature — AI Companions, adding a new layer of research support to the paper trading experience. Participants can choose from four AI assistants, each with a distinct focus: Steady Explorer for fundamental value and long-term growth, Sector Navigator for emerging sectors and key catalysts, Short-term Sniper for technical indicators and short-term price movements, and Quant Trader for quantitative models and algorithm trading.
Available around the clock, the AI Companions provide research support whenever market ideas strike — whether participants are examining an earnings-driven move, exploring a sector theme, analyzing a chart, or evaluating a trading thesis. Each assistant surfaces market information and analysis through its own lens, helping participants ask sharper questions, consider different perspectives, and bring greater structure to their research process. Combined with Nasdaq TotalView® and Moomoo’s professional trading tools, the AI Companions create a more integrated environment for exploring investment ideas, testing strategies, and learning from real-market activity.
US$200,000 in Rewards and a Chance to Shine on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square, Manhattan
Participants can compete for a share of US$200,000 in trading coupons, while standout performers can earn global recognition for their market insights and competition results. The top three global competitors, along with regional champions, will receive exclusive Moomoo x Nasdaq trophies; regional top-10 finishers will be awarded Moomoo x Nasdaq certificates.
Selected participants may also have the opportunity to appear on the Nasdaq Tower in New York’s Times Square. Chosen based on their final competition performance and contributions to the Moomoo community, these participants could see their investing journeys and achievements celebrated on one of the world’s most iconic digital billboards.
“Paper trading allows investors to put their ideas into practice, learn how markets respond, and refine their strategies without risking real capital,” said Neil McDonald, CEO of Moomoo US. “This year’s competition brings together Nasdaq’s market data, Moomoo’s professional trading tools, and AI-powered research support to give participants more ways to learn through experience. Whether they’re exploring a new strategy or looking to strengthen their trading skills, we want to make professional investing resources more accessible.”
