BAHAHA! This totally made my day!

Looking forward to the competition, though I'm in U.S. I still like to play for fun. I don't really see it as a contest though...more like a gambling opportunity. Realistically not very many people can throw in $50,000 for a real account and high leverage really has no logic other than deceiving people into thinking they can 'get rich quick' with less money.

I think all the FX contests here should be based on a scoring system. In other words, you get so many points for gain, so many points for drawdown, profit factor, etc etc. Alpari's contest was like that (starting balance $10,000 & 1:50 leverage), and I think it makes the game more strategic and realistic.

Of course this is probably a suggestion for MyFxBook and not you guys. But anyways.

hello.
i dont do contests, cuz i am a dork, but just to clarify one issue regarding the prize issue...

the prize will be a funded account? for which funds can only be withdrawn after thirty days?

so, if the winner wanted to just leave the awarded account idle for thirty days and then just withdraw the funds, are there any restrictions that the contest players might want to be aware of?

thank you.


was this question answered?

i cant remember.

There are no other restrictions. If someone wants to leave their prize money in the account then that is up to them...

- super like

Sir Chris, is the contest restricted to currency trading or will there be precious metals and indexes like ITA 40? many thanks.
