Lance, the rules are below the registration form ('Contest Rules').

MM is money management - there are no limitations as to how you trade (including scalping, EA, manual trading).

The accounts should be opened with a $1000 balance, however if it's different, it will be reset to $1000 before the start of the contest.

Thanks. You might have noticed, I edited in my idiot missing of the rules in the previous post.

Two things that are appropriate to know is that the margin call at FXDD kicks in if it drops below 100%. The same thing happened to me in the SureFire compettition which is currently running. So without knowing this, I had assumed that margin call was at 50% as my two brokers are, (MB Trading and Go Markets), which disqualified me. They did allow me to re-enter though. Which brings me to the second item of importance.

Only one entry allowed. You mess up and you are out!

Bad news for good scalper EAs: FXDD Malta still runs an old fashioned 4 digit platform

hmm, but when its not Malta than its USA, means no hedge allowed and other gimmicks... or do I miss something? Is the contest independent of the location of the broker, so we just ignore NFA slavery rules and restrictions during the contest?

The point here is that you can choose your preferred FXDD Metatrader (Malta/USA). Although we provide a link for download, you're not required to use it. All you need is a FXDD demo account.
