Changes in LIVE trading contests

Posted 7 Mar., 2019  in #Live Trader #Live CFD Trader
Great news!

Following the successful start of LIVE FX Trader contest and tight competition, we decided to raise its prize fund from 1050 to 1500 USD and to increase number of prizes from 12 to 20. The main prize will be substantially increased from 300 to 500 USD.

We also took the decision to merge LIVE CFD and FX Trader contest into one LIVE Trader contest. This way participants will be able to trade all instruments Dukascopy has (including stocks).

Ranking system will be slightly changed to encourage traders who trade more.

The changes will come into force since March 11 and we hope you find it positive. Please let us know in case you have any questions.

LIVE CFD Trader contest results (5th week)

Posted 19 Dec., 2018  in #Live CFD Trader
Hello traders,

Eleven participants got to the winners list on the fifth contest week and here are the top-3.

komias from Ukraine won the main prize of 300 USD, having shown 49.1% of trading profitability. 200 USD goes to luki432 and 100 USD is given to brabus.

The rivalry in the contest remains to be low comparing with LIVE FX Trader contest, where the participant needs to show at least 40% profitability to get the 12th place, which is why now’s the best time to join LIVE CFD Trader contest.

We have also launched a new LIVE contest on Monday: this time for Binary options traders. The winning point of this contest is that it is conducted on the daily basis, and there is no need to compete for prizes during all week. The results are known at the end of the day and the prizes are credited the next day.

We hope you like the recent changes. In any case, feel free to let us know if you have something to add in the comments below the post.

LIVE CFD Trader contest results (3rd week)

Posted 5 Dec., 2018  in #Live CFD Trader
Hello traders,

The results of the third week are the following: md1fk1 won the main 300 USD prize with 376.5% of profitability. Dominos and earspower have earned the second and third places and got 200 and 100 USD respectively.

We have to admit that the competition level in the contest is quite low for now, and that allows getting the prize place even with profitability such little as 0.221%. Just like in the case with timo who took the 10 place and 30 USD prize.

Consider taking a part in the contest, it worth trying!

In case you have any ideas or remarks you can let us know in comments below the post.
