The maximum profit on a single position must be below 25% of the total profit of all positive trades. If not, Dukascopy reserves the right to decrease the total balance of the account for an amount equal to the profit of the position and apply the rule recursively.

Respecting to Performance, Pips Expert, Popularity, & Dukascopy, 25 % each, after is rounded. Add it up to the Total Balance in thousands, example.- ++++=348 + 246 of 246,541, Why I ask you for that?, Is because I see People that is in 19th place and has balance of 37,000 or other in 30th place has 2,282 or other is in 68th Place and has 126,000 balance, at the end could be two positions with very close balance and whoever follow the rules more closely is going to win even If he don't have the highest balance. At the end of the day in my way of thinking the balance is important too.

Hello. I opened 1 position (SHORT) with EUR/USD on Friday evening and left it opened for weekend. Now I see my position and another one (LONG) also EUR/USD. It has neither SL nor TP and I don t know how it was opened and why, as it is impossible according to the rules.
Could you please explain or fix it? I have a Print Screen if required. Teneres_sa

I see it was weekend margin, great strategy, I cannot see the point in opening a position in the opposite direction, it would make far more logical sense to close part of the position to remain within margin requirements. Opening a diametrically opposite trade is foolishness.

I mostly enter and exit positions at market depending on the indicators i follow and don't trade on pre defined TP and SL.

Am I supposed to let the TP and SL defined earlier to initiate even though the indicator changes signal?

Why averaging positions is not allowed?

1st of all I was in 4th in pips expert both next time I logged in I was in 1st place. I understood how pip experts points is calculated but I dont know how many points I have got. It will be useful if pip experts points of traders are given in own page next month.
And some questions about popularity.
Why popularity is rated in this contest. I have 85/100 in performance and 100/100 in pips expert and only 4/100 in popularity and im in 13th position overall.
What else can I do to win this contest?

Dear Support,

can you please elaborate more on how the pips expert points are computed?

My idea was: algebraic sum of gained/lost pips, taking into account the conversion rates. Then points are attributed depending on the standing among all contest participants (100,95,90, 89, ..., 1).

Is this correct? When are new lost/gained pips updated? Daily?

Specifically to my position: can you please check whether my score at the moment (0 pips expert points) is correct?
My algebraic sum of all pips should be positive: do I have to assume that even to get 1 pip expert point we have to score many pips?

Thanks in advance and happy new year.
