Why waste precious time over this?
To those who think this contest & broker is worth the trouble, stay on and finish the contest.
To those who don't like the contest & broker, either don't participate or leave the contest & broker.

Personally the contest & broker's MT4 trading platform are completely out of my computer. End of story!

I am sticking with Dukascopy site and their various daily/weekly/monthly/yearly competitions & contest which are much better & fun than most sites that I use to frequent.

Cheers guys!............... and good luck to all those who are still in the competition!

Dear all,

It is to our knowledge there are issues in the contest with some trades due to server problems which causes unreal performance. The contest will be on hold whilst we are investigating further and will be restarted from the beginning on Monday 30th March.

We apologize for any inconvenience and we appreciate your understanding.

Best regards

Too little too late!....in a desperate attempt to catch-up to the top leaders who made humongous thousands of percentage gains/profits in mere days, I have completely blown my contest account and has since removed the MT4 trading platform from my computer.

looks like fx choice is now accepting that they have server issues which creates technical glitches and how ppl are taking advantages of it i hope this will be taken care by fx choice in future coz when a person cant trust a server in demo mode how can he trust on live mode

Maybe a good time to restart the whole contest, fix all the technical problems, drop the whole pre verifying id business and have a real contest with everyone all 3000+ people participating. I'm sure all the fair winners will then be fully happy to verify all the documents you want and you'll most likely get more new real clients by the end.

Does that mean that we restart from 10.000$ again from Monday 30th? Pretty disappointing, since i was trading against EA's/bots in the top 3 all this time with their 1000 trades in a couple of days against my 150, they had 10 trades opened and closed in ONE minute during news time, that's impossible to do for a human, you would have 6 seconds to open and close each trade.

Why restarting the contest when you can just investigate and ban those who have been exploiting the server problems with EA/bots?

There is no reason to put back in play all those who lost their balance with bad trades during FOMC, there won't be a move in EUR/USD like that again during the rest of the contest, out of the 3000 partecipants only 140 have more than 1% gain the others won't be even bothering trading again.

There is no "choice" in Fx Choice, but to to swallow everything, from the disabled accounts to the server issues..

Meanwhile i lost precious time in this, and i bet other traders too.

I think you are referring to FXOpen 😄.....I used to participate in their contest.

Yes, limiting the numbers of open positions and lot sizes does make a fairer open field to all contestants and helps contain super-duper EA/Robot traders.

"Whining like a baby"??? "dnt pass personal remarks"???

Where did you see that i was whining "like a baby" and "passing personal remarks", you should read your own comments first if you search for that

I just said that i lost precious time, that's not whining, if you don't care about your own time this is not my issue.

Anyways, this forum is pretty unfriendly so i was not surprised with the answers, i'm out of here and good luck to everyone in the future
