The URL of my startup is http://www.yatrader.com.

    * When users Sign Up, they choose their geographic location (choices consist of City/State and Country around the world). So let's say, Joe Trader (from Moscow, Russia)  joins. He can find other traders from Moscow/Ukraine. Or also see other traders from other Cities and Countries (Main page description should emphasize that this is a International community site) 

    * Traders can come and showcase their skills by making prediction on future markets through our weekly contest. Again, the markets can be their local COUNTRY markets or they can play other (international) markets (Joe Trader from Russia can play our NASDAQ U.S. market).

    * Traders can interact through private messaging or through profiles by posting comments on wall to wall. 

    * Every trader has a profile that shows their information such as but not limited to: contact info, buddies, and local buddies (users that are from their location) as well as their preference for markets they follow.

    * There is also a "Streak" indicator. When a user correctly (or accurately) makes predictions each week he/she will be awarded Streak points that will allow them to earn extra points which can later be redeemed for prizes. Streaks will also elevate the user's reputation on the website because it will show him to be knowledgeable in the financial markets he plays.

    * Prizes can be redeemed for virtual dollars earned called YaDollars -- it is our unique currency system.
