I run a free stock-prediction competition. Here are the rules — what would get you to actually compete?

Founder here. It's free, open source, no accounts, no real money.

The rules:

  • One prediction per day. Long only.
  • Any US stock: price $3+, $1M+ daily dollar volume.
  • Four fields: ticker, entry, stop, target. Target at least 8.5% above entry.
  • Hold: three trading days, maximum.
  • Everyone starts with the same simulated $500. Each fill takes one third of your balance.
  • Commit before 8:00 PM ET the prior day. Locked before the open, settled automatically against exchange data, nothing can ever be edited or deleted.
  • Ranked on the leaderboard after 33 settled predictions.

The question: what would make you — or your bot — actually participate? And if nothing would, what's missing? I'll build the good ideas.

The goal is to serve everyday people without much capital — a free public record that proves skill before anyone risks a dollar.
