Campaign Rules
The goal, the requirements, and exactly what to submit.
Goal
Create viral videos around stocks and OpenTrade's games that drive clicks to the OpenTrade website.
Rules — must follow
- The main text or hook must clearly mention or connect to OpenTrade
- Videos must be longer than 7 seconds
- OpenTrade must always be shown in a positive way — no misleading financial claims
- At least 40% of your audience must come from Tier 1 and Tier 2 countries
- Submit every post through the campaign platform within 30 minutes of posting
- Use #opentrade in the title
- Your account must be public
- English content only
A clip can perform well and still be rejected if it doesn't follow the rules above. Rejections aren't about views — they're about compliance.
The 40% audience rule is the one people miss. Follow the Account Warmup and Tier One Targeting guides before you post, not after your views come in wrong.
Approved content sources
Use one of the following as the base of your content:
- Videos from the OpenTrade content folder (see the Format Bank for the exact drive links)
- OpenTrade's own site — opentrade.live
Posting — CTA & submission
Required comment CTA
After posting, leave a comment that directs viewers to OpenTrade. Use one of these, or write a similar version:
- “btw this game is on opentrade.live”
- “If you want to learn about stocks for free while playing games, go to opentrade.live”
- “If you want to play this free game, the link is in my bio”
Pin the CTA comment so it stays visible to everyone who watches the video.
Required link in bio
Use this exact link in your bio:
https://www.opentrade.live/r/tt/clipping
TikTok — if you can't add a link in bio, use this text instead: “Play Trading games at OpenTrade.live”
Submission requirements
- Submit the clip through the campaign platform within 30 minutes of posting
- Send a screen recording of the post analytics in support chat

Account Warmup

Before you start
- Do not post anything yet
- Do not comment or follow anyone yet
- Leave your profile empty — you fill it in on Day 2
- Use a real email on the account
The 7-day plan
| Day | Watch | Interact | Post |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | 20 to 30 minutes a day | Like about 1 out of every 5 videos. Nothing else. | Do not post yet |
| 2 | Same as yesterday | Add your profile picture and bio | Do not post yet |
| 3 | Same as yesterday | Leave 2 real comments. Repost 1 video. | Do not post yet |
| 4 | Same as yesterday | Leave 2 comments. Repost 2 videos. | Post your first clip |
| 5 | Search your niche and watch those videos only | Leave 2 comments. Follow 2 accounts. | See “How much to post” |
| 6–7 | Your niche only | Follow 3 more accounts | See “How much to post” |
By Day 7 your feed should be almost all videos from your niche.
How much to post
| App | Week 1 | After that |
|---|---|---|
| TikTok | 1 to 2 a day | Up to 3 or 4 a day |
| 1 a day | 2 to 3 a day | |
| YouTube | 1 a day | 2 to 3 a day |
- Wait at least 3 hours between posts on the same app
- Do not post all your clips at once
How to engage
| Do this | Not this |
|---|---|
| Like about 1 out of every 5 videos | Liking every video you see |
| Watch videos you like more than once | Watching every video the same way |
| Scroll past bad ones fast | Sitting through every video |
| Follow 1 to 2 accounts a day, spread out | Following 20 accounts in one sitting |
| Write real comments | Pasting the same comment over and over |
After day 7
- Scroll your feed for 15 to 20 minutes before you post
- Leave comments a few times a week
- Keep watching your niche
If it's not working
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Your clips get 0 views | Stop posting for 48 hours. Go back to watching 30 minutes a day. Then post 1 clip and start again slowly. |
| Your clips get 15 to 50 views | Change your hook. The first second of the clip is the problem, not the account. |
| Every clip dropped at the same time | Stop posting for 48 hours, same as above. |
| The app won't let you follow anyone | Nothing. Wait a day and follow fewer accounts. |
Do not delete clips that got low views. Leave them up.
Tier One Targeting
The campaign needs at least 40% of your views from Tier 1/2 countries. Here's how to make sure they come from the right place.
Pick one country
Countries that count:
Pick your path
| Path | Cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| A · Free VPN | Free | 10 GB of data a month. Works if you turn on data saver. |
| B · Proxy | ~$2.40/mo | No data limit. The most reliable option. |
| C · Paid VPN | ~$5–12/mo | No data limit. Easier to set up than Path B. |
- Download Windscribe. App Store or Play Store, search Windscribe.
- Sign up with an email. You get 10 GB a month with an email — only 2 GB without one.
- Pick your country and write it down. Choose a city in a Tier 1 country and use that same city every time.
- Turn on data saver. In the app: Settings → Data Saver → on. Never download clips over the VPN — turn it off, download, then turn it back on before opening the app again.
- Check it worked. Go to whatismyip.com on the same phone — it should show the country you picked.
- If you run out of data. Wait for the month to reset, or make a second free account with a different email.
- Make an account at iproyal.com, sign up with any email.
- Choose ISP Proxies. Not Residential, not Datacenter.
- Fill in the order — country you picked, quantity 1, duration 30 days. Prices change, so check the site.
- Pay, then copy 4 things: address, port, username, password. Save them somewhere you won't lose them. If it asks for a type, pick SOCKS5.
- Install Happ. iPhone: App Store, search Happ. Android: Play Store, search Happ.
- Put your proxy into Happ. Tap the plus button, add manually: Type = SOCKS5, then your address, port, username, password. Save it, then turn it on.
- Check it worked. whatismyip.com on the same phone should show your picked country.
- Download a paid VPN app. Any paid one is fine — a free VPN works but is the weakest option.
- Pick one city and write it down. Choose a city in your Tier 1 country and use it every time.
- Turn it on. It has to be on before you open the app.
- Check it worked. whatismyip.com on the same phone.
Phone settings
Do this before you download the app or make the account.
| 1 | Turn off location for the app — Settings → the app → Location → Never |
| 2 | Turn your connection on, if you're on Path B or C |
| 3 | Set your phone region to that country |
| 4 | Set your phone and app language to English |
| 5 | Set your timezone to that country |
| 6 | Set your App Store or Play Store country to that country |
| 7 | Download the app |
| 8 | Sign up with an email, not your phone number |
| 9 | Look at your feed — if it's not in English and from that country, fix your settings before you post |
Optional, only if you want to go all out: use a spare phone instead of your main one, and take the SIM card out.
Turn your connection ON before you open the app. Close the app fully, then turn it off.
- Never open the account with your connection off — not even once
- Same city every time. Do not switch.
- If it drops, reconnect before you open the app again
Warm up on that country
- Watch creators from that country
- Follow accounts from there
- Comment in English
- Use sounds that are trending there
The rest is in the Account Warmup guide.
When to post
| Your country | Post between |
|---|---|
| United States | 10am to 6pm Eastern time |
| UK or Europe | Late morning to early evening, their time |
If it's not working
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Your feed is in the wrong language | Do not post yet. Check your connection, region, timezone and App Store again. |
| Your views come from your real country | Stop posting for 24 to 48 hours. Watch that country's videos again, then start posting slowly. |
| Half your views are from the wrong place | Stop using local slang and local screenshots in your clips. |
| Your VPN keeps turning itself off | Open the app settings and turn on Always On or Auto Connect. |
| You ran out of VPN data | See Path A, step 6. |
| It's been wrong for weeks | Start a new account and set it up properly from the beginning. |
