Recently, there has been talk in the community that the first 50 orders in early entry could yield over 5,000 in profits. The authenticity of this claim remains to be verified. However, there are two major events ending tomorrow at 8:00 AM that are worth analyzing carefully.

First, let's look at the Contract Weekly Ranking Competition. This leaderboard only rewards the top 1,000 participants. The exact reward amounts are still a mystery; industry estimates suggest it’s roughly around 20% of the trading fees. Currently, the trading volume of the 1,001st place is approaching 1.2 million, and if this trend continues, the threshold for entering the leaderboard tomorrow is unlikely to be below 1.6 million. In other words, if you don’t make it into the top 1,000, no matter how high your trading volume, you won’t earn a penny.

Next, consider the Christmas Competition. The trading volume difference between 50th and 51st place has already reached several million. The potential gains and risks of trying to climb higher are completely disproportionate—even if you succeed, you might earn just over $1,000, but if you fail, the loss could be several times that. Moreover, the competition between ranks 51 and 200 is equally fierce, with the threshold for 200th place also requiring a trading volume of 2 million. At this pace, the minimum requirement for 200th place when the data is updated tomorrow remains uncertain.

Honestly, these types of competitions carry a very high risk factor. Beginners should be especially cautious: not participating means missing out, but once you get involved, it’s easy to fall into a bottomless pit. Instead of being forced to chase high prices, it’s better to recognize the situation early and cut losses when necessary.
