Finam Serious Track / Prop Combine — organizer concept note
The serious track exists to identify traders and systematic strategies that Finam could realistically want to interview, allocate capital to, or involve in a future prop-management structure.
This is not a classic retail trading contest. A classic contest selects for short-window variance, luck, and reckless leverage. The serious track should instead select for benchmark-adjusted performance, portfolio discipline, stability, and behavior that still makes sense when judged as if real capital were behind it.
The target output is not only a leaderboard. The target output is a shortlist of candidates for deeper human review.
