EBC's Million Dollar Trading Challenge II | Record-Breaking Week as Traders Race Past $300,000 in Profits

On May 9, 2025, EBC’s Trading Challenge saw @forexwatchbrother earn \$380K, @Wolaiole top \$100K, and @jidljis post steady gains.

EBC's Million Dollar Trading Challenge II on 9 May 2025 once again saw records being broken, with the Dream Squad's profit benchmarks reaching new heights by midday.

After some time off from the charts, @forexwatchbrother in the Dream Squad category made a dramatic entrance. As gold prices retreated, several large short positions placed on 6 May paid off handsomely, propelling his profits to around $380,000. Unlike @willsdad, who opted to withdraw a substantial sum after a big win, this seasoned trader took the result in his stride, unfazed by short-term ups and downs.

It's also worth noting that another competitor has now crossed the $100,000 mark. Fourth-placed @Wolaiole has placed an impressive 2,180 trades, proving that persistence does pay off.

In the Rising Stars category, @jidljis kept trading to a minimum after midday yesterday, booking just over $440 from one gold and one yen trade. Overall, his profit curve continues to climb steadily.
