How to Get Your Traders Sharing Those Wins (And Why It Matters!)
Make trader success your biggest marketing tool. Learn how to create a culture of sharing that drives engagement and builds credibility.
There’s nothing quite like that moment when you absolutely nail a trade. You know what I’m talking about. You’re staring at the screen, your PnL is looking real nice, and you’re just sitting there like… “Did I just do that? Oh yeah, I did.”
But here’s the question—what happens next? Do you just keep it to yourself? Or do you share that win, let people know, and maybe even inspire someone else?
The Power of Sharing Wins
Trading can feel really solo sometimes. But the moment traders start sharing wins? That’s when things get interesting. It’s not just about flexing a big trade—it’s about creating something bigger. It builds trust, it inspires other traders, and honestly, it makes the whole experience way more exciting.
So, how do we, as prop firms, actually get traders to share those wins? Let’s break it down.
Build a Community That Actually Celebrates Wins
People love sharing when they feel like their wins actually matter. But if they post something and it’s just… silence? Yeah, they’re not gonna bother next time.
So, prop firms, this is where you step up. Create spaces where traders feel comfortable sharing—Discord channels, private Facebook groups, or even a forum right on the platform. But here’s the key: don’t just make the space and forget about it. Be active. React to those posts. Celebrate them. Make it a conversation, not just a one-way post.
And let’s talk about recognition. Leaderboards, trader spotlights, social media shoutouts—it’s simple, but it makes a huge difference. When traders see that their wins get noticed? They’ll want to share more.
Give Traders a Reason to Share (Because Who Doesn’t Love a Bonus?)
People are way more likely to do something when there’s a little extra motivation, right? So why not give them a reason to share?
Think bonuses, discounts on fees, maybe even early access to new tools. But you can take it further—turn it into a challenge.
Biggest comeback trade? Most consistent streak? Best lesson learned? Now it’s not just about sharing, it’s about competing, and let’s be honest—traders love a good competition.
Leverage Social Proof—Because People Trust People
When was the last time you bought something without checking reviews first? Exactly. We all do it.
Trading is no different. When traders see real success stories, it’s way more powerful than any ad you could run.
So make those stories visible. Showcase trader success on your website, your blog, your social media. And make it easy—a simple form, a “Share Your Trade” button right on their dashboard. If it takes more than 10 seconds, most people won’t do it, so keep it effortless.
Focus on Stories, Not Just Screenshots
Yeah, a $5,000 profit screenshot is cool. But the story behind it? That’s what people connect with.
Encourage traders to share more than just the numbers. What was the challenge? What strategy worked? What did they learn?
People don’t just want to see results—they want to understand how someone got there. That’s what builds real trust, real engagement, and real community.
Keep It Optional—No Pressure, Just Encouragement
Not everyone wants to be in the spotlight. And that’s okay.
Instead of forcing traders to share, make it optional and on their terms. Some traders might prefer to stay anonymous—so offer options like initials or success stories without names.
Or take a different approach. Instead of focusing on individual wins, highlight overall platform success—like, “Our traders made over $1 million this month!” That way, you’re still showcasing wins without putting anyone on the spot.
Make It Effortless with Tech
If sharing feels like work, traders won’t do it.
So let’s make it easy.
Built-in sharing features. Automated trade result highlights. One-click social media posts.
If they can hit one button and share their win? They’re way more likely to do it. The easier it is, the more traders will engage. Simple as that.
Teach Traders Why Sharing Helps Them
Some traders might think sharing their wins is just… showing off. But here’s the thing—it can actually boost their career.
Personal branding. Networking with top traders. Even attracting sponsorships. These are real benefits.
Prop firms can run webinars, write blog posts, or even create short videos explaining, “How Sharing Your Wins Can Elevate Your Trading Career.” Because once traders see the bigger picture? They’ll be way more willing to share.

At the end of the day, getting traders to share their wins isn’t just about motivation—it’s about strategy.
