Thanks.
Csaba Yes, it is possible to close a position manually. No restriction in that respect. Hence, as you see, in this light the "Share of position closed by TP/SL" appears to be quite a reasonable ratio, since we consider that the more the trader adheres to his initial prediction (i.e. positions get closed by reaching the TP/SL), the better it is.

That is the same issue we were referring to. We are aware of it. It will be fixed.

I've got the question concerning the avatar changing. I've changed the avatar in my profile but when I'm in the contest area the avatar I've changed is not appeared... What should I do?
Best regards. Hi I have the same problem I tried to load gif picture, jpg, jpeg, bmp and wait for one day an hour, ten minutes, nothing helped I still don't see my avatar..... what I did wrong????   There is indeed an issue with changing profile pictures. During the first upload it works correctly, but during an attempt to change it it may not accept the new picture. We are aware about the issue and it already in the list for fixing. We apologize for the temporary inconveniences. I uploaded my picture just once and I still don't see my avatar. And I am waiting for a week. So I think it doesn't matter if you upload Avatar picture just once or many times.

Did you managed to view the picture? Unfortunately despite I uploaded my picture anything happened, I still don't see the avatar. Did I do something wrong or there are some restrictions? like only some picture formats and certain picture sizes are allowed ? thank you for your help have a nice day

Csaba you must click on the row with position in trading platform, check the box on the very left side and right click on the row so that it become blue and in menu choose close position and than you have to write why you closed position. thats it

Hi I am new here, also uploaded just one picture of my lucky grandfather's golden coin, just once, not repeatedly and unfortunately do not see my golden coin. I am afraid all my luck will disappear if I cannot touch my lucky golden coin everytime I go into trade. Otherwise I have to say, all other things are functioning, everything is very nice done. especially I like watching trades of winners and I try to repeat their trades in my tiny small real account with very little money amounts. thanks Mitsumoto Haraki

The strategy contest disclaimer says you can only be in one position.
How is a position defined?
If I'm long USD/JPY $200,000 and do another trade buy USD/JPY $100,000. Is the counted as one position for $300,000 or is it two positions, one for $200,000 and another $100,000?
Regardng the 20 trades, are these 10 roundtrip trades or just 10 buy and 10 sells? In other words, does there have to exist 10 instances where I become flat?

Another trade is a margin call trade that means your account will be disqualified at the end of the month. Margin Call means automatic disqualification in the contest. Regarding the amount of trades, you need to have 10 positions at least. It does not matter how many sells or buys.

Skytrader's perform is very perfect. But can you see that he violate the rules, he put SL to negative. I don't wanna offense someone, but it will make other trader follow him, and surely, it isn't fair for trader who obey the rules. His statistic will be perfect (100 % share closed)..
Every traders see his trading, and they will follow him if dukascopy don't give punishment for him. Why did you give punishment for Bakosa (february, bakosa got banned for the same violate) if you don't punish Skytrader??
I'm sorry, I don't wanna offense Skytrader, but he is wrong.

I'm sorry, I don't wanna offense Skytrader, but he is wrong. ...i think it's not Skytrader's fault and he isn't the only one using it...but you are right that the new SL rule is kind of misleading  ... if you wanna close the trade before TP is hit you now have 2 options: 1. just close the trade manually and get a negative evaluation for the trade  2. just move the SL near the desired target and get a positive evaluation for the trade..  so i guess everybody will choose option 2 now  i think Dukascopy has to work over the new SL rule...
