  We model competition between different macroscopic orders in an holographic
context. The orders we considered are a superconducting order, modeled by a
charged scalar field, and a magnetic order modeled by a neutral scalar field.
We also discuss the case of two competing scalars coupled to a single gauge
field. In all cases discussed here the phases tend to compete, rather than
enhance each other. The condensation of one scalar hinders any further
instabilities, unless we have a sufficiently strong repulsive interactions
between the bulk scalars. We provide both analytic arguments and numerical
demonstration of this fact. Based on the cases discussed here, we conjecture
that holographic orders tend to compete for attractive bulk interactions,
including gravity, and to cooperate, or be mutually enhancing, for repulsive
bulk interactions between the corresponding order parameters.
