Hi there
yesterday, while i was opening my last trade on GBP/JPY gaining 100 pips,
suddenly a trade was opened in the opposite direction which forced me to close both.

Any explanation will be appreciated

The same happened to me to.
I have opened three trades on balance of near 120k with 3 or less M per trade and
near 85k of equity (I think it was perfect but strong entry from me) station generates me
opposite trades (margin cuts). I was forced to close all my trades with hugh problems. It lasted
1 hour before I succeed, and after that I can open oly one trade with 2M ?!?!
How can I trade if I cant trade into profit with the same level like into loss?!?
I trade for more than 10 years (profi) with MANY brokers and I never saw something like that.
What is worst in past month It was different.
It is inpossible to trade serious here I we cant find objective info how we can trade without such "traps".
And I have few more comments. It is simpyl not acceptable that traders have to write forecasts they have nothing with their
real trading decisions, to click frenly +ses to be popular and when someone who earn 1 USD in whole trading month
have 100% rating from the experts. It simly not serious. I can imagine which serious investors woul invest money in
"casino forex gamblers" who can wiin with the help of "experts" and whe can blow whole account in few days
in the next month. Something have to be wrong with experts here I think!
Iam hughly dissapointed on the level of this contest because I know Dukascopy like very serious and TOP
broker but what we can see on this contest it is something like "childish" joke not serious contest.
Such contest it looks like "how to find" non profi trader they will 100% blow their account in near future than
contest how to find the best traders

just found out about the weekend leverage decrease

ya, say that catches out lot of people, Got me last month

Dear contestants,

please familiarize with the margin policy of Dukascopy Bank SA: https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/ ... ts/margin/
It is applicable to ALL account with Dukascopy (both DEMO and LIVE). Contest accounts are not an exception.

The margin cuts you are receiving are either due to the disrespect of the weekend leverage (1:30) or due to the exceedance of the 200% use of leverage.

As you understand, it is impossible to create rules that would completely satisfy everybody.

We remind that the participation in the contest is voluntary.
As you may have noticed from the informative message appearing after the launch of the contest platform, one may register a regular (non-contest) DEMO account and exploit all the functionality available in Dukascopy platforms, without any restrictions.
