Hello support,
Here is may question about the new rules for strategy contest:

Can we stop manually the strategy to preserve the performance like one can do when using a strategy in a real account.

I mean if on May 24th, my balance is 198000 $ and I think that my strategy won't make better or will loose money since that point, can I just stop it ?

Thank you for the answer,
Tacite 2

No, you can't do this. You can't control strategy any more once it's uploaded. It's also prohibited to set equity targets in the strategy code.

Dukascopy expects Participants to adhere to the following list of recommendations:

-The strategy algorithm has to be symmetrical for opening long and short positions.
-It is strongly discouraged to include built-in forecasts, hardcoded prices targets.
-It is strongly prohibited to set any equity targets and switch the strategy into "hibernate mode".
-The back-testing result has to be adequate and similar to the live trading results.

Please note that updated are allowed only once during the contest month. Updates are intended for bug fixing only and should not change the trading algorithm.
