I would like to bring to organizer's notice that the contestant gabriele2274 (currently at #1) has broken the contest rules.

It clearly says: 'The Contest will not allow more than a total of 500 open positions at any given time'

Look at this trader's open positions exceeding more than 500 positions !!

Please see the screenshot as proof.

Hello everyone I read the post and now you have already commented on everything that you could say good luck to all

Guys, luck is a definitive part in Forex contests. If we trade safe, the winner will be someone who risked almos everything and just by little he avoided a margin call...

Sad but true... someone should make other contest about not blowing up the account keeping slow, constant profit for months.


I Agree.

Is there some broker or something, with courage to make rules who are praticable in the market?

Normally mt4 will not allow more than 500 open positions, you just can't open more, I can't see any screen shot

Yup, winner should be determined by pips growth, not equity growth, you can just made 100 pip and win the contest if you're using 10,000 lot ( total in a month or 500 lot per trade) for examples, others who made 5,000 pips will got nothing since they're using 0,01 - 2,00 lot (a more managed risk) per say

I was sitting in the top 5 for most of last week then decided to gamble. I would never trade my account like this and don't think contests like these are a good influence on new traders. However, its free, fun & brings out the competitiveness in people and as long as you can switch your mindset back to sensible mode on your real account, then I see no harm in these lotteries.

In forex making pips is not important, our final target is to earn money we should get profit at the end thats it, if any one trade with 0.01 lot with 10000 account they are using only 1000 usd funds only, so what is the use ?

There should be a rule that you can't trade more than 0.01 for every $250 account balance, so every $1000 would trade a maximum of 0.04,for the competition. Normal trading should be about 0.01 for every $500 account balance to be safe

Why would you give up ? You can simultaneously trade accounts just like I do. I know its demo but everything teaches you something ;)
