Trader	Prize				Overall
LinnuxFX Portugal	1st place 1300$	97 Quality	85 Popularity	97 Dukascopy	279
Dukascopy mark and review LinnuxFX continued the series with Visual Jforex - Building Strategies (part-ii). It's the kind of useful articles we like to see. The process of creating a strategy is described fully, and we'd love to see a more complex strategy in upcoming tutorials.
AdrianWS United Kingdom	2nd place 600$	100 Quality	86 Popularity	77 Dukascopy	263
Dukascopy mark and review AdrianWS submitted a comprehensive article on Forex Volatility - Part 1. As usual with this author, many things are left unexplained, but it's a good starting point for those willing to learn about volatility.
LittleFishy United States	3rd place 600$	95 Quality	81 Popularity	80 Dukascopy	256
Dukascopy mark and review LittleFishy's submission is cleverly titled Margin Call of Duty : a Lesson about Learning for Gamers. The article explains the power of analogies, and does a good job drawing parallels to gaming. Though it boils down to "understand and practice", it is well-written and inspirational.
Likerty Lithuania	4th place 300$	100 Quality	84 Popularity	70 Dukascopy	254
Dukascopy mark and review In his work Trading Overnight with Limit Orders, Likerty describes a trading method based on the premise that price moves in impulses. The approach is explained in detail. One could only wish for some predictions for us to test or some back-tests conducted by the author.
jlongo Portugal	5th place 300$	100 Quality	83 Popularity	70 Dukascopy	253
Dukascopy mark and review Create a Strategy - Jforex Meets Twitter. by jlongo is a bit of a disappointment. This article in an otherwise incredibly useful series sufferers from way too long introduction and self-explanatory passages. The author then, instead of replacing some of the intro with code, goes on to blame the "space problem".
Efegen Turkey	6th place 300$	94 Quality	90 Popularity	63 Dukascopy	247
Dukascopy mark and review This month, Efegen chose the topic of Methodology of Constructing a Trading System: Step by Step Guideline. The article is well-written, and does provide a solid protocol one could follow while devising a trading strategy. It's nice to see such a systematic approach.
geula4x Israel	7th place 200$	97 Quality	95 Popularity	53 Dukascopy	245
Dukascopy mark and review The idea behind geula4x's submission Profit from Trend Lines' Confluence is intriguing. It's hard to grasp the logic of why would a price conform to "confluence areas", yet the concept is interesting. Too bad the author's chart, in a 3-week period, offers just two setups, one of which is impossible and theoretical. It would surely be interesting to see this method put to the test.
Brasileiro Brazil	8th place 200$	100 Quality	82 Popularity	63 Dukascopy	245
Dukascopy mark and review Brasileiro decided to tell us How to Profit more from the Fibonacci. The basic idea is to look for past confirmations of a current fib level, and to use this level as entry. The article lacks tests and profitability report. There are also some inconsistencies in TP logic, and the language is very hard to read.
fxReader Hong Kong	9th place 200$	90 Quality	78 Popularity	70 Dukascopy	238
Dukascopy mark and review In his article Regression-based High-probability Momentum Buy Strategy, fxReader described a complete strategy of catching ongoing trends. The method looks promising, so it's a pity there were just a couple trade examples.
Daytrader21 Romania	10th place 200$	84 Quality	100 Popularity	53 Dukascopy	237
Dukascopy mark and review Daytrader21 told us a tale of 9 Dollars & 82 Cents - Blowing up My $5k Account. It's the same basic truths of trading, but wrapped in a somewhat creative narrative. One remains to wonder, what's the authors relationship with trading now.
