Moomoo Canada's Top Trader

TORONTO, May 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Moomoo Canada today announced Canada’s Top Trader, the country’s first-ever live, real-money national trading competition, launched in partnership with Nasdaq.

Breaking away from traditional paper-trading simulations, this competition is built for self-directed investors at every level. Participants will compete using real capital and actual market conditions on the moomoo platform, offering a true test of strategy, execution, and results. Registration opens May 1, 2026, with the competition running from June 1–30, 2026.

To ensure fairness across all portfolio sizes, Canada’s Top Trader utilizes Time-Weighted Percentage Return (TWR)—an institutional-grade performance measurement. This approach allows investors to be ranked on the quality of their strategies rather than the size of their accounts. Traders can vie for national dominance or represent their home province on dedicated regional leaderboards.

“moomoo was built on the belief that every investor deserves access to a professional-grade edge,” said Michael Arbus, CEO of Moomoo Canada. “In today’s markets, that edge comes down to one thing, spotting the right factors early and acting on them. That’s what we’ve built into the platform: deep market data, advanced tools, and AI designed to surface what matters, so that investors can make sharper decisions and continuously improve their trading strategies.

With Canada’s Top Trader, we’re taking that a step further. This is not just a paper trade simulation. This is a live, real-market event with real profits and losses. And through our Yorkville store in Toronto, home of The Moomoo Trade Academy, traders get unparalleled access to hands-on learning, real market insights, and a community built around one goal, getting better.”
