Dear participants!
Please note that we have changed several rules in the strategy contest as of January 2012. First of all, the maximum amount of popularity points is limited to 25 points. The second change, the minimum amount of trades must be at least 20 trades. The Dukascopy evaluation is now calculated only if the amount of trades is 20 or more. The third change, participants who are using copied strategy are not eligible for bonus popularity points. You may submit a copyright claim to the support team, if a participant has reproduced more than 90% of any previoysly published strategy.
Dear participants! We bring to your attention that the final ranking of December for the strategy contest has been published. Unfortunately, we are obliged to remove madiha from the December ranking as his last strategy had been producing compilation errors and didn’t work after the update made by the participant. Another participant tdurai84 had experienced a technical issue with a strategy on the remote server. Due to the problem, the strategy has been stopped starting from December 23. We have decided to withdraw 5 points from tdurai84 even though the strategy was stopped by the remote server unintentionally. Another participant us_copiosus has suffered from a 5 point downward correction due to the boosted amount of comments coming from the same IP address.
Dear participants, we start the New
Year with a slight amendment of the Rules.
Starting from the January contest Popularity will be further tightened to bring a maximum of 25 points (previously 50). The calculation basis remains unchanged. Now the maximum number of points a participant can get is 275 (100 + 100 + 50 + 25). Note that in contrast to the 3 other evaluation categories Popularity points are now assigned in a linear manner, i.e. without a leap between the 1st positions.
Dear Strategy Contest Participants,
We have now published the final ranking for October. Congratulations to the winners! You may check the Contest Results page. As of November we have also added a new section to the Contest Rules - Fair Play. You can become familiar with the updates on the Contest Rules page.
