Dear dukascopy.

i am really shocked to see the final result of the contest. How can a best performer with over 1500% return can be second?

Did you see how Ritesh manipulated the rules in a systematic way? (see ritesh's last 3 day's trades. all booked 1 pip loss which clearly is a manipulation and disrespect to the true contest environment)

Prisechin on the other hand was more open, clear and showed his capacity in the month and how can a best trader lose the contest just because you have a stupid rule of "Average pips lost on negative positions:". he lost only 4 trades and had a winning of 19 trades with big pip gains. (THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IN THE CONTEST)

I am certainly not happy with the result out come of the contest this month. I am saying openly as i strongly feel this would encourage future contestants to engage in manipulation and also damage the intensity of the contest in the long run.

I request you to reconsider the contest winning as it will send a signal to traders that manipulation is strongly discouraged and make the contest a wonderful place in the long run. I have respect to both the traders but my intention is that the performer should win. if there were marginal difference in terms of performance and pip gains between them, i wouldn't have raised this issue. but the difference is really huge and in all aspects i feel prisechin be declared winner.

Totally agree. Unfortunately, the results have already been published. I just don't get this, Prisechin totally blew away EVERYONE including past closing records.


I thought it was a no brainer that prisechin should win, especially with 4 point differential. Oh well.

Totally agree with comments above. prisechin is just superb and he had no manipulation. look at the records of his trade, pricechin should be number 1.

I agree on this too. I think that Prisechin could do some manipulations too (like spamming everyone to get pop points and other stuff) but he didn't and once again shown us that being a legit trader makes your participation way much harder. This kind of decisions is a clear signal to other traders that they should not hesitate to cut corners and manipulate their statistics as this is the way to get on top but not perfomance or outstanding trading.

yes, they could have given prisechin some bonus points for his extra ordinary performance. When they can give 10 bonus points to a trader with a pathetic performance of 3 pip per trade with 300 trades in the month of July, why not give atleast 5 points to prisechin for his efforts.

I doubt they reconsider their decision now! pity you prisechin.

Another vote here for Prisechin.

Dukas contest organizers, pls reconsider... make this a serious contest.

PS: Ritesh, nothing againts you, but Prisechin did an impressive work.

Dear Contest Support Team ,

"PRISECHIN" is breaking/abusing the rules According to Clause 13 and 14 of the contest rules:

13. Multiple registrations by the same Participant under the same or different IP addresses and names, and/or use of proxy servers may result in the Participant's disqualification (except for unique cases approved in advance by Dukascopy).

Dukascopy is entitled to refuse a Participant upon registration or disqualify him/her at a later stage during or after the Contest period due to violation of these Rules and guidelines or other reasons at the sole discretion of Dukascopy. Disqualification may lead to the rescinding of any prizes awarded to such Participant.

I would like to brink to your attention the following Contest's Users :

The contestant " PRISECHIN " on the 2nd standing for the month of August is breaking the rules of the contest , these are the comments form the following "Contestants" , ALSO please note this was the first month he joined for the contest( THIS IS A RED FLAG TOO), because the his other "users" allready blowed the accounts.



"prisechin" - continue up correction

" svetashopk " - correction after long up trand

" gpfmoldova " - USD need to growth after long doun trand

" worldpeace " - forcast to change up trand

" leoniddobr " - correction an change trand

" vipburlacu " - correction up after long down trand

"gubarev" - "Negative news from EU , negative news from Bernake"

"vitaboss" - "bad news from UK "

"marintimd" - "need correction up after long down trand"


Please take immediate action.

All of them use the same comments with similar spelling mistakes when opening new possitions , almost all of them trade the same pairs , and almost all of them registered either on the same day or few days latter when any of them blowed out the account . Please investigate all these users. I also have a screenshot to prove that four of the above mentioned were on "something like 100 ; 101 ; 102 ; 103 standings with a 100,000 balance" , this is not a conincidence they all have joined the same minute , one after another , to take part at the contest.


Regards ,

Good work honest trader

Omg you're right. AND HE TOOK MY RECORD WITH HIS CHEATING

simple explanation

Prisechin is running a Dukascopy Contest Prop Trading firm out of his apartment with a bunch of his buddies, this is how they have the same trade ideas, unfortunately he's also teaching them his broken english, this is why they are making the same spelling error's.

Yeah that's a good one , have you read this post by Dukascopy :

"Endnote and comments: August 2011
Although initially promised for August, the amendments to the rules have entered into force only with the start of the September contest.

With 1181 contestants August has set a participation record of the competition that has been running since December 10'."

So PRISECHIN was most activ in August 2011 since December 10' , no doubt 81 accounts belongs to Prisechin

Now watch closely "Nataliacaisin" trading behaviour , is it any different than the above mentioned ?? The same guy running 10's of accounts. Do not understand how Dukascopy Contest Support let this get away so easy?

he he he!!!!!!!

looks like any new guy from maldova looks like a new avatar of prisechin. isn't it?

is that place so small that there is no trader?

you've got to LOL,

btw, ritesh should have never been considered among winners... Not even close.

I am really impressed by the hard work of honest trader. Surely he deserve some clap for his extra-ordinary finding.

"Treloni" currently on the second stading is one of "Prisechin's" spare accounts. However now he is trying to comment a bit differently probably he hopes he doesn't get cought, but he still uses his old FAVOURITE COMMENTS "down trand will be continue " - and pay attention , now instead of "correction" he uses the word "decline" .

Contest Support Team seems that had taken action regarding a couple of these " ACCOUNTS" and some of them been allready deleted from the Contest. Please investigate the current account holder "Treloni" and please make this contest a fair place to all of us.

i totally agree with him.. Please investigate.. this is professional contest rite?

i totally agree with you.. hope Dukascopy do some investigate to make this contest are the best professionals contest and fair

Informative note: several contest accounts (including "treloni") have just been permanently banned for multiple registration rule's violation.

Please remember that Dukascopy may disqualify an account noticed in breaching the rules at any time. Either during the current contest or after its finalization. Respectively, all the prizes (not yet awarded) of this participant get cancelled.

Anyone agree that the current user "svetashopk" on the 2nd standing is one of previous "PRISECHIN" fake accounts ? Please leave your thoughts .

Regards,
