Competition rules

Draft rules. Have a lawyer review them for your jurisdiction before taking real entries or paying prizes. Skill-based prize contests are regulated differently from country to country.

Scoring

• Return % = profit for the month ÷ starting balance. Starting balance is your equity at the start of the month, or your first deposit if you open mid-month.
• Deposits and withdrawals are excluded from performance.
• Only trades opened after you enter a month count towards that month.
• At least 10 closed trades. Each trade must be held at least 10 seconds and be between 0.01 and 100 lots.
• Ties break on return, then trade count.

Entering

• One account per person per month, one person per broker account.
• Entries for a month close at the end of UTC day 7. Later entries count for the next month.
• You must connect with a read-only investor password.

Prizes

• 1st: $1,000
• 2nd: $500
• 3rd: $250
• 4th to 10th: $50 each

Paid within 14 days of month close. Winners above $1,000 must pass identity verification.

Disqualification

We may disqualify entrants for hedging against other entrants, latency or price-feed abuse, copying signals to inflate results, multiple accounts, bonus or credit manipulation, or any attempt to manipulate the contest. Our decision is final.
