The Trading Challenge Arena: Where Investors Can Trade, Compete And Win Real Prizes With Bullrush

Benzinga

By James Blacker, Benzinga Think you’ve got what it takes to enter the Challenge Arena? Check out the BullRush fantasy trading platform here! Are you looking for a fun way to sharpen your trading skills? Welcome to the BullRush Challenge Arena – a new trading platform that lets you put your own trading strategies to the test against other traders to win real cash prizes. If you’re facing burnout on your trading journey, bored of looking at charts without seeing real action or even looking to learn, the BullRush Trading Challenges could be just the thing to ignite your passion for trading. With crypto, CFD and forex trading volumes continuing to grow, BullRush Challenges could be the perfect place to build up your trading muscles in a limited-risk environment before going live. Indeed, studies project that global crypto trading volumes will surpass $108 trillion by the end of 2024, marking a 90% increase from 2022, while the forex market is expected to reach over $1 trillion by 2028, up from around $796 billion in 2024. Wintermute even said recently that its crypto CFD trading volumes surged 19-fold between March and August this year. What Are BullRush Challenges, And How Are They Different From Prop Firm Challenges? BullRush Challenges offer a way for you to trade against the market in a gamified, controlled environment. They simulate real trading scenarios and are designed to test all aspects of your trading game, from risk management to trade execution, the company says. Challenges have clearly defined profit goals that you’ll need to reach within a time limit, potentially incentivizing and inspiring you to be more disciplined and strategic on your path to becoming a better trader. So how is this any different from typical prop firm challenges? Well, the main difference lies in the rewards. Most prop firms give you access to a funded account if you pass their challenges, but BullRush says it takes a different approach by cutting out the middleman and giving you instant cash prizes. In other words, BullRush Challenges let you win money directly by competing, rather than by managing someone else’s capital. This means you can focus on developing your trading skills and fine-tuning your strategies, even as you win cash prizes. Another big difference is the cost of taking part—BullRush Challenges start at $5, which the company says is just a fraction of the expensive fees for entering a typical prop firm challenge. Choose Your Challenge BullRush offers three different challenge types: Basic Challenge: In this challenge, you must hit the profit target without exceeding the maximum drawdown limit. In the Basic 3:1 Challenge, for example, you have 30 days to make a 15% profit without losing 5%. The prize for completing this challenge is 18,500 credits, which is equivalent to $18.50 if you entered the $5 challenge. Double Up Challenge: If you hit your profit target you can either claim your prize or double up for a shot at an even bigger reward. Pass the challenge a second time, and you’ll win a bigger prize. It’s up to you if you’re confident the risk is worth the reward. The Profit Factor Challenge: For more advanced traders, this challenge requires hitting a specific profit, win-rate target and average winning P/L. This one is a test of strategy and consistency – which could be great for traders who want a bigger challenge to really put their skills to the test. Profit Factor Challenges are not available yet, but are set to be released soon. How To Sign Up For A Challenge The BullRush Challenge Arena gives an overview of all the different challenge types, including the conditions for passing and the prize on offer. Simply select the challenge that suits your style, click on “Start Challenge,” choose your payment method, accept the terms and conditions and you’re all set to get trading. BullRush’s credit system is pretty simple: 100 credits equal $1. If you enter the challenge with 500 credits, it equals a $5 challenge. Beginners might want to start with the Basic Challenge, while those with a high tolerance for risk could try the Double Up Challenge. If you think you’ve got what it takes to play in the big leagues and are already an advanced trader, why not take on the Profit Factor Challenge? BullRush says this challenge is coming very soon. Keep An Eye On The Clock The clock starts ticking as soon as you execute your first trade, so make sure to use your time wisely. You need enough time to reach your profit target, but don’t go too fast, as hitting your max drawdown would mean it’s game over. You need to stay disciplined, just like if you were trading in the live markets, BullRush recommends. Keeping Track Of Your Wins As you complete challenges, you’ll earn certificates that will appear on the leaderboard. Anyone can click on your profile to see what challenges you have passed. To keep track of your own challenge progress, you can click on the “My Challenges” tab, where you will be able to view all currently active challenges This is great if you are taking on multiple challenges at a time, as you can check all your profit targets and drawdowns at a glance, as well as view your trading stats. Level Up Your Trading Skills In The BullRush Challenge Arena BullRush Challenges are not just about winning prizes – they are also designed to make you a better trader. Challenges can allow you to improve your risk management and discipline, and test out trading strategies – all within simulated market conditions and without putting up a lot of money. For as little as $5, you can test your strategy and win money. BullRush isn’t a prop firm, and it says that based on its success with its challenges so far, the platform plans to continue to add more challenges with larger prize pools. With growing interest in crypto, CFD and forex trading, now could be a great time for new and experienced traders alike to brush up on their skills. BullRush Challenges can be a fun, challenging way to do this while competing for cash prizes.

Building Momentum: Zynex Inc.’s (NASDAQ: ZYXI) Steady Rise in the Pain Management Market

ZYXI

Demand for pain management devices is climbing worldwide, fueled by several major trends. As chronic disease rates soar, the need for effective, drug-free pain solutions has grown more pressing. At the same time, advancements in medical tech have opened doors to safer, non-invasive pain relief options, making them more widely adopted by healthcare providers. Rising numbers of surgeries have also created a strong demand for post-operative pain control, while the pain monitoring market continues to surge. With these combined factors, the global pain management device market is expected to reach $5.68 billion by 2032, expanding at a steady 9% CAGR. In this dynamic and fast-evolving field, Zynex Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYXI) stands out as a key player, bringing new solutions to the growing pain management market. A Closer Look at a Leading Innovator in Pain Management Founded in 1996, Zynex Inc. has carved out a unique space in the medical technology industry, specializing in non-invasive medical devices designed for pain management and rehabilitation. With a mission to improve the lives of patients with chronic pain and other debilitating conditions, Zynex consistently develops innovative solutions that support pain management without relying on medications. The recent FDA approval of its latest device, the TensWave, and strong financial performance through Q3 2024 highlight Zynex’s upward trajectory in a growing market. Expanding Product Line with FDA-Cleared TensWave Device Zynex's newest offering, the TensWave device, received FDA clearance in September 2024. This device is a non-invasive pain relief option that uses TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) technology, a proven method to alleviate pain without medication. According to CEO Thomas Sandgaard, TensWave was developed to meet the demand for a high-quality TENS device that fits insurance reimbursement criteria. "We recognized a gap in the market," Sandgaard said, "and TensWave is our answer to that demand. It complements our flagship device, the NexWave, by giving patients a safe, effective, and drug-free alternative for pain relief." The TensWave device is designed to work in tandem with Zynex’s other products, specifically the NexWave, which offers multiple electrotherapy modalities. While NexWave remains Zynex’s top-tier product, TensWave offers a more targeted solution for patients covered under insurance plans that only reimburse TENS-based treatments. By diversifying its product lineup, Zynex positions itself to cater to a broader range of insurance plans, potentially reaching more patients who need accessible and effective pain management tools. Strong Financial Performance and Business Growth Zynex’s Q3 2024 financial results showcase the company’s resilience and growth momentum. During the quarter, orders in the Pain Management division saw a 13% increase compared to the same period in 2023, while revenue per sales representative jumped by 25%, reaching approximately $530,000. Overall, Zynex reported net revenue of $50 million, a slight increase from the previous year, and net income of $2.4 million, equating to an EPS of $0.07. Cash flow from operations was robust at $7.1 million, and the company’s working capital stood at $58.5 million as of September 30, 2024. In February 2022, an article from Seeking Alpha suggested that Zynex might face a 50% drop in EBITDA due to contract changes with UnitedHealthcare. However, rather than the anticipated loss, Zynex managed to maintain and even grow its partnership with UnitedHealthcare. Over the past three years, Zynex has consistently added new patients with UnitedHealthcare, backed by a renewed agreement with the insurer. Notably, Zynex has recorded steady revenue growth, with year-over-year increases of 21%, 17%, and 9% since 2022, effectively countering these earlier predictions and showcasing Zynex’s operational strength. Looking ahead to Q4, Zynex has set a revenue target of $53.6 million with an estimated EPS of $0.09. For the full year of 2024, the company expects to achieve net revenue of at least $200 million, representing a 9% growth from the prior year and an EPS of $0.20. These projections suggest that Zynex is on track to sustain its current pace of expansion. Strategic Focus on Innovation and Market Adaptability One of Zynex’s core strengths lies in its ongoing commitment to research and development, aiming to diversify its product portfolio to address unmet needs in pain management. Sandgaard has emphasized that Zynex’s long-term goals include not just incremental growth in its pain management division but also the expansion of its orthopedic products, ensuring that the company has a well-rounded suite of medical devices. In the words of Sandgaard, “We are working to expedite the onboarding of new sales reps while maintaining a high standard for productivity. Our focus on FDA approvals of next-generation devices and new therapy products delivered FDA clearance of our new TensWave device during the quarter.” Alongside pain management, Zynex is making strides in non-invasive monitoring systems for hospital use, indicating that the company is serious about diversifying beyond its core offerings. This multi-pronged approach gives Zynex the flexibility to adjust to changing market demands while further establishing its reputation as a provider of comprehensive, non-invasive healthcare solutions. Future Growth Potential With the FDA approval of the TensWave device, Zynex has reinforced its presence in the pain management market, where demand for non-opioid treatment options is on the rise. The device could become a significant revenue driver, particularly as the opioid crisis has heightened interest in alternative pain management therapies. TENS therapy, a proven method for reducing both chronic and acute pain, positions Zynex favorably among patients and healthcare providers looking for safe, effective treatments. Zynex’s current product line also includes devices for cold and hot therapy, cervical traction, braces, and compression solutions, allowing it to cater to a broad array of patient needs. As the company anticipates a return to its typical growth rate of approximately 20% in the pain management division in 2025, the new products and strong sales infrastructure could enable it to scale more effectively. Conclusion In 2024, Zynex Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYXI) has shown resilience by expanding its product portfolio and maintaining steady growth. The FDA clearance of the TensWave device further strengthens its position in the non-invasive pain management field, supporting its mission to deliver effective, drug-free pain solutions. With solid revenue growth and strong partnerships, ZYXI is set to build on its progress, providing lasting value for patients and shareholders alike. Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.

What Opportunities Could The Disruptive Pace Of Technology Today Present? Hear From Cathie Wood At Crossroads Summit On Cutting Through The Chaos

Benzinga

By Josh Enomoto, Benzinga With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and other groundbreaking developments in recent times, disruption represents a key theme in the current environment. Given the blistering velocity of these innovations, individual investors face a binary outcome: either leverage this transformation or become a victim of it. For those looking to find opportunity in the chaos, Crossroads Summit speaker Cathie Wood is an expert at navigating dynamic markets – and she’s ready to share insights into her strategy at this can’t-miss event. One of the most respected experts on Wall Street, Wood has been an early investor in several business categories, including generative AI, genomics, cryptocurrencies and the financial technology ecosystem and electric vehicles. In fact, Wood famously sparred with entrepreneur and “Shark Tank” personality Kevin O’Leary in early 2018, asserting that Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) represented the future of mobility. In many ways, Wood won that debate, as in the trailing five years, TSLA stock soared almost 900%. And now, after years of leading the charge in several burgeoning sectors, Wood is bringing her forward-thinking insights directly to attendees at the Crossroads Summit. Hosted by the online brokerage platform TradeStation Group, the seminar represents a key opportunity to learn firsthand how to capitalize on kinetic environments. Embracing Disruption As Progress At first glance, Cathie Wood may seem to run counter to the image of an equities standard-bearer. According to The New York Times, she is a product of “Wall Street’s asset management industry and the well-heeled Connecticut suburbs.” In addition, she carries a strong faith-backed compass; a rarity in high finance. Still, it’s this self-confident spirit – a refusal to simply tag along with the consensus – that has made Wood and her Ark Invest empire so resoundingly successful. A central motif that undergirds Wood’s investing philosophy is the embracement of disruption as a catalyst for progress, not as an inhibitor. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced a global shutdown, Ark Invest wagered heavily on tech firms that aligned with the wider remote operation theme. At that time, its flagship ARKK exchange-traded fund loaded the boat on enterprises like Roku Inc (NASDAQ: ROKU), Zillow Group Inc (NASDAQ: Z) and Block Inc (NYSE: SQ), among others. Contrarianism As A Winning Strategy A significant reason Cathie Wood has resonated with retail investors is precisely because she holistically embodies contrarianism. She doesn’t seem to come off as the stereotypical Wall Street hotshot who upholds traditional values over more whimsical pursuits, and this grassroots sentiment has also attracted legions of fans. Nevertheless, contrarianism for its own sake can also potentially quickly become stale. Like a crafty chess player, Wood isn’t just focused on present circumstances, but on projected developments. When the investing expert debated O’Leary, TSLA stock traded hands at just below record valuations, despite the underlying company suffering severe financial challenges. Still, Wood recognized that irrespective of the headwinds, the core elements of software, AI and auto manufacturing would converge. Tesla was positioned for this singularity, while most traditional automakers were not. In the same vein, Ark Invest has been aggressively investing in Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN), with Wood arguing that the virtual currency complex could see even more astounding growth over the next few years. In particular, the planned scarcity of benchmark digital assets, along with cryptocurrencies’ potential to act as a buffer against chaotic government policies and geopolitical dynamics, could usher in a new financial paradigm. Finally, Wood has been vocal in articulating the bullish narrative for genomics-related investments. Analogous to the singularity in the automotive market, the entrepreneur anticipates the merging of AI and gene sequencing as a significant growth catalyst in the biotech industry. Profitably Adjusting To A New World As machine intelligence and other groundbreaking innovations stand poised to potentially radically alter social and economic structures, investors and leaders have arrived at a critical juncture. Cathie Wood will bring her insights to the Crossroads Summit. Conventional wisdom may simply be incapable of addressing the radical changes imposed by emerging technologies. In conjunction with shifting sands in the political realm, smart contrarianism could command quite a high premium. With the support of TradeStation Group, the Crossroads Summit offers insights for investors to navigate these challenging waters.

From Inking Multiple Deals To Record Revenue Growth, U Power Had A Busy First Half Of 2024

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga U Power Limited (NASDAQ: UCAR), the Chinese EV power solution company making a name for itself thanks to its advanced UOTTA technology, shared a financial update for the first half of 2024, with revenue growing 595.7% year-over-year to RMB13.2 million. U Power attributes that growth to increased usage from existing and new customers as the economy in China continues to recover following the COVID-19 pandemic. U Power’s UOTTA technology enables consumers and fleet operators to replace dead EV batteries with fully charged ones in under five minutes. The company also offers companies a battery-swapping ecosystem from building the infrastructure to managing it. “We've been successful in transforming our vehicle sourcing business to provide EV battery power solutions in China,” said Jia Li, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of U Power. “We believe that this shift has enhanced our competitiveness, and we expect it to expand our future revenue growth potential." Revenue Shifts To Product Sales Of the RMB13.2 million in revenue U Power earned during the first half of 2024, 93.9% came from product sales. In the year-ago first half, U Power had no product revenue. U Power said that positive change was thanks to the improving economy, which enabled it to sell more battery stations. Meanwhile, sourcing services revenue of RMB0.1 million was down 0.6% year-over-year. However, U Power confirmed that was because the company focused more on its charging and swapping-related products. Meanwhile, battery-swapping services revenue of RMB0.7 million was up year-over-year from RMB0.5 million, driven by the deployment of U Power’s second battery-swapping station, which went live in March 2023 and remains operational. As of March 2023, U Power had a vehicle sourcing network of about 100 wholesalers and 30 dealers across China’s lower-tier cities. Last year it sold and delivered six battery-swapping stations to four customers. All told it has already sold eleven battery-swapping stations. "Our financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2024 demonstrate our commitment to responsible financial management while simultaneously making strategic investments for our future growth,” said Bingyi Zhao, Chief Financial Officer of U Power. “Our R&D expenses decreased as we have successfully completed several key projects, and we remain committed to innovation and have strategically allocated resources to new and high-potential research initiatives. Our improved credit management practices have yielded positive results, as we generated an expected gain on credit of RMB0.5 million in the first half, compared to a loss in the same period last year.” U Power ended the first half with RMB40.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from RMB36.2 million at the end of 2023. Deal Making On Display In addition to reporting record revenue in the first six months of the year, U Power inked deals that give it inroads into other geographies. Take its deal with Velo Labs Technology Ltd., the global fintech company for starters. In August, the two entered into a memorandum of understanding to establish a battery infrastructure investment ecosystem in Thailand. The idea is to create a battery bank asset and fund trading platform based on Velo’s blockchain technology. Through the platform, U Power and Velo Labs hope to attract external funding to promote the large-scale development of the battery bank industry. A battery bank is a collection of batteries that are connected and store energy together. The collaboration’s idea is to create battery bank stations for EVs around the country where drivers quickly swap out dead batteries for new ones. The trading platform would integrate battery assets from various UOTTA battery bank scenarios, including batteries for four-wheel and two-wheel electric vehicles, batteries from various battery swap stations and batteries used in energy storage projects. Prior to that deal, U Power signed a memorandum of understanding with Pattaya AI Terminal Co., Ltd. to jointly drive the strategic development of green logistics and electric vehicle infrastructure in Thailand. Another key deal for U Power is its deal with UNEX, which was also inked during the first half of the year. Through the partnership, the two will provide battery-swapping vehicles and swapping station services to Associação Nacional dos Transportes Rodoviários em Automóveis Ligeiros (ANTRAL). ANTRAL is an association of companies in Portugal, representing public passenger road transport companies operating light vehicles designated as taxis. Through their collaboration, UNEX and ANTRAL aim to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector by 2030, in line with the European Union's decarbonization targets and Portugal’s regulatory requirements for taxi vehicles. “We believe we are well-positioned with the necessary working capital and strong foundation to support our growth plans, including the launch of operations in multiple international markets, and we are confident in the current financial state of the business,” said Zhao.
