And just a note for the last post. U.S. residents cannot open an account with octafx so how is that going to work?
I'm not a U.S. resident, but I can see how that would be a problem for the winners if they are... After all, they expect us to open a live account first, so they can deposit the money on there (clever concept, I must say :-)
I think I'm out of here...
Bye bye guys and girls, have fun.
It's all in the mind (this applies not only to trading).

Yes USA traders are allowed. Here is a copy of the conversation I had with OctaFX...
info: You are now chatting with 'Emma-Octafx'
Emma-Octafx: Hello. How may I assist you?
Joe Smith: Do you accept USA traders?
Emma-Octafx: No, we do not accept traders from USA.
Joe Smith: Don't you think it would be a good idea to include this in the rules for your trading contest? I just registered through myfxbook. I stated that I was a USA resident and it still let me register. Suppose I would have won this contest? I would be very upset
Emma-Octafx: The traders from USA can take part in that Demo Contest.
Joe Smith: What if I win? How would the $3,000 be deposited into my 'real account'?
Emma-Octafx: It will be possible, but the funds should not be traded in that case but to be withdrawn.
Joe Smith: Would they be available for immediate withdraw? Are you sure of these rules?
Emma-Octafx: Yes.
Joe Smith: Ok, thanks for your time
Emma-Octafx: You are welcome anytime.
Emma-Octafx: Thank you for chatting.

Time now is 3:45 am (London Time) and market seems to be open (price moving in my OctaFX demo account), but cannot place orders. Thought the contest started when the market opens???
Anybody else experiencing the same?
Anyway, if it already started, I wish everybody a pleasant journey!
Ronald
Hey man it seems alot of people are experiencing the same thing, myself included.
