Dukascopy mark and review This month, geula4x described how to Follow the Trend: 1...2...3...trade!. The submission is very well detailed, complete with setup, pairs and timeframes to trade, entry and exit rules. Clear charts complete the definition, and backtests go to show the strategy is viable. We'd love to see more articles like this.
	Likerty 3rd place	600	View review	100	84	85	269
Dukascopy mark and review Likerty posted an interesting article called Predetermining Profit Targets of the Market Movers. It explains well the differences and function of S/R levels and profit targets. He illustrates his point well with detailed charts, and gives trade examples. This is required information for new traders.

	piter44 5th place	300	View review	100	85	69	254
Dukascopy mark and review Sentiment Index - the Way to Improve Your Trade by piter44 is not the first take on this subject in our contest, but a good one. It contains enough information for new traders to start utilizing this instrument. The author doesn't only explain what it means, but also suggests how to incorporate this knowledge.
	jetaro 6th place	300	View review	100	80	72	252
Dukascopy mark and review jetaro has submitted a work on probabilities, cleverly titled Chances Are..... The author examines, how many losses in a row your strategy could bring, and what are the chances. He is right at pointing out that this gives you peace of mind, knowing that losnig streaks are probable.
	ilonalt 7th place	200	View review	100	89	63	252
Dukascopy mark and review ilonalt wrote an article about his 5-element/pairs Circle Trading during Major News. Part 1. The author uses an interesting approach of trading several currency pairs during news, trades going in opposite directions. The idea is curious, yet the resulting profitability is not so impressive, and the strategy could benefit from additional work.
	1Trader 8th place	200	View review	90	76	83	249
Dukascopy mark and review The work Understanding Macd. The most Used Ever Indicator ! by 1Trader brings nothing new to the table, but is still useful. It offers a very detailed look at what MACD is, and how it should be used. It's a shame there aren't more trades to illustrate this instrument.
	rokasltu 9th place	200	View review	100	81	65	246
Dukascopy mark and review rokasltu showed a good attempt at understanding price movement in his work titled How to Create Your Own Theory on Rate Movements. It is an interesting view, but needs more work. We will wait for the next part, hopefully showing some trades.
	David_ 10th place	200	View review	92	72	78	242
Dukascopy mark and review David_ submitted a short article about just one trade - Live Trade Euraud +288 Pips. The article covers most aspects of how a trade is decided. We liked that the author puts emphasis on what exactly was he looking for. Submission is well-structured and clear. Would be great to see more trades described this way.
