Yes, there was a mistake in rules. As I have confirmed you above, at least 10 trades are required to qualify at the end. |

The last 2 trading days are left! The ranking still might change at any time! Especially, when we will start verifying the strategy code, as the contestants are not allowed to use manual trading, multiple strategies within one contest account and outsources trading algorithms. |

Of course! The first strategy ID will be assigned only when the first trade will be made on the account. At the end of the contest we will compare all the following trades with the first one. |

Perhaps, the prices just expired. Usually, you get reject if the price expires or the slippage value is too small. |

Well...you could find him at the bottom of the ranking table. The guys was too aggressive in his trading. Started with 100 000 and reached 1 000 000 already in 2 weeks. But what's interesting, he wasn't even trading with a strategy which means he would be nevertheless disqualified at the end of the month. Perhaps, if he could automate his trading idea and use less leverage, he could succeed. |

| Post subject: | Maximal DD rule? |
"How would you turn the contest into a more challenging competition? Tell us in the JForex Community Forum, or here in the comments." I have an idea, that we need to see the competitors maximal relative draw down! I think this competition needs the first to close out the gambler strategies from the competition. It needs some maximal draw down rule, or penalty for the huge relative DDs. Then we need to concentrate to make strategies that works in real life too! I think it's the most important part of the competitions, to make new improvements, strategies, etc. that can use real accounts too. (of course with not more risk than investors can accept!) |

| Post subject: | Re: DD rule |
Well, there are some changes in rules underway. We are planning to limit the amount of simultaneously opened positions to 1 and limit the maximum profit on position to 50% of the account balance. As for DD, it's more a statistical output. And, of course, we should understand that the contest strategy has to be more aggressive then the normal one. |
