Trading Contest

[Truccio77]

Hello everyone,
I am a professional futures trader since 2007 ( I was a broker before).
Things start to go decently well for me and for various reasons I would like to partecipate in a trading contest.
I trade only futures and I am looking for a trading competition or contest .
I know a couple but they last about 1 year and looks like the strongest traders attend.
I was wondering if anyone knew about a small contest for new traders.
Something with lower capital barriers of entry and that would last maybe a couple of months?
Anyway any suggestion is more than welcome.

instead of contests why not go the old fashioned route and make money by just trading your account ?

First of all, thank you all for replying. Sorry, I must have been a bit more specific. I am looking for a contest with classic liquid futures ( Crude, Gold, EMini, etc)
I am a former futures broker. In 2007 I was offered a position as trader by a client so to reply that part, I am paid to trade since 2007 and it feels better than using my own money.
I trade mostly an exotic market (FFAs) alongside fuel and structured on forex, but I have a passion for price action techniques applied on classic futures markets.
In november last year I started a small prop shop in Chicago, I wont mention the name for obvious reasons. My intention is to replicate the prop firm model in a more ethic way (according to me off course), so that I could have people trading for me instead of spending my life in front of a monitor. As a side service I decided to sell also a live course and tools; but that is not the core business I want to develop. As I m not famous nor a millionaire I had the idea that participating to a contest could have the double purpose of making me understand how good I aml compared to others and maybe become a good ad versing tool for my company ( if I do well ). If you have any suggestion that would be great.
