When signing up to the World Top Investor competition participants have to create profiles and can choose to share recent trading activity by posting news.

With this profile created participants are then able to transmit their sentiment on the markets, and post their traded and held stocks while viewers and followers can assess their performance daily on the WTI rankings.

Paulo Pinto, COO of DIF Broker, says: "Community networking is playing an increasing role in how investors follow finance. The World Top Investor competition wants to be also perceived as an educational forum for investors looking to learn from more mature traders."
