EBC’s Million Dollar Trading Challenge II | Tariff Shock Sends Gold Soaring as Traders Adapt

EBC traders surpass 10x returns as Trump’s tariffs boost gold. @songqiantongzi leads, @18500131555VIP holds top spot, and @willsdad stays steady.

EBC’s Million Dollar Trading Challenge II has entered day 33, and as of 12:00 PM, the Rising Stars category has shattered the long-standing "10x curse," with the top 3 traders all achieving returns exceeding 10x.

President Trump’s latest tariff announcement sent shockwaves through the markets, igniting a surge in safe-haven assets. Gold reached yet another record high, providing traders with significant opportunities to capitalise on the volatility.

In the Rising Stars category, @18500131555VIP reclaimed the top spot but saw their lead narrow after an unsuccessful short position on the Swiss franc near a key support level. Despite this setback, their profit curve remains smooth, and their copy trading capital has climbed to over $50,000.

Meanwhile, in the Dream Squad category, @songqiantongzi continues to dominate with a staggering $90,000 in profits. Their strategy of consistently going long on gold has proven to be both simple and highly effective. They remain confident in their positions, holding trades initiated near $3,100 as gold maintains its upward momentum.

Second place @willsdad holds steady with $48,000 in profits. Notably, they have executed only 26 trades so far, demonstrating a patient and disciplined approach that aspiring traders can learn from.

The Rising Stars leaderboard also welcomed a new contender. @fulizhiyi climbed into the top 3 after just 3 days of trading by successfully shorting gold multiple times following its rally. This tactical approach highlights their sharp market instincts and adaptability.
