Dear Support Team,

FAIR PLAY rule is beeing breached by [Sannandogar] on the top ten standing. Just one day ago the user [AMRIK] signed up for the contest and allready commented all the the trades on [Sannandogar]'s blog.

[Sannandogar]'s Popularity had poped up from 3 points to 10 points in one day.

Please investigate this, and give the possibility to other traders to get the prize they trully earned.

Thanks ,

It;s not fair for traders to get points for popularity...where is the logic??? in real life a true trader doesn't gain popularity points..only pips and money . So i have some expectations from dukascopy team to do something about that. These points can be use by some traders to steel.

i would request dukascopy to finish off with these popularity points because they dont reflect ur trading skills or how good u r as a forex trader,only pips and performance should be counted

I rank 2nd pip expert and 2nd performance and rank 10th overall, just bizarre. I don't care much though rules are rules but that is because I feel smart enough to take advantage to learn something from this competition and the people in the community rather than just focus on winning. I know if I come out of this competition with a consistent winning method it will be better than any trophy.

Ofcourse, I would love some free candy points from duka at end of competition if I do finish that well.

Fake users were banned last week as well as sannandogar.

this means if i want to bring top position down i should give him comments generously?

In this case you will be banned permanently.

Can you please check user "emwww", as I see the details, this user has registered on 10.05.2011, and only provides comment to few from Bulgaria. I do not want to disclose name of contestant, however they are in top 10 this month presently.

Dear Support ,

The user [sannandogar] should be permanently banned from the contest. Please investigate his blog, he has 1 comment and 6 likes for every trade starting on page 4.

Couple of minutes after I have warned him of a possible Rule Violation , I started to receive comments on my Blog from thoose fake accounts who commented [sannandogar] just to keep me silent, fortunately I have deleted all his comments.

[sannandogar] is NOT a new client. Please investigate other Pakistany accounts including trading style, SL TP and some currency pairs, most likely he signed up only after he blew his own account.

Just to point out , quite a bit of guys from top 10 started a Popularity War in the last few days before contest closes. This is encouraging to others as well.

Important: People should not be able to vote/like unless he/she leaves a comment for that trade first. This way we could identify who really gives those "hiden" votes/likes. And a next Important step would be to Reduce the Popularity to 10 points only.

Thank you,

dear dukascopy first i dont know who is amrik and neither i requested him to comment me so generously but if dukascopy feel it appropriate they can delete his comments from my blog and secondly i ll ask DayTradingFx who is milani and why he has commented your 90% trades,u r talking about fair play and demonstrating some thing else,i replied earlier aswell to the allegation against me but some how my reply was not published

Even today in traders contest, one can see so many likes for sannandogar's blog with no comments at all. One can have 2-3 IP addresses and make different accounts with duka contests and still win.
I remember there was a trader called Abdul Quadeer with his trader friends in who made a team and were all banned from strategy contest.
Let dukascopy remove the pop points, then let other traders also stand at the same fair advantage.

Now that Sannandogar has read above comments, he has just voted his trades 4-5 times each with no comments, since comments reveal who has voted for him...nice backdoor entry to 1 st spot.

there is a complete team of DayTradingFx who is trying to defame me for disqualification and therefore liking my all positions without commenting,,,,DUKASCOPY please check from which traders ip my positions have been liked.

Yes [sannandogar] ,

I'm talking about Fair Play and Multiple registrations which is a big issue regarding your account. Can you answer this simple question ? Why only 3 minutes latter after I warned you on your blog about Fair Play rule violation , this guy [amrik] who ONLY commented your blog , started to clean his fingerprints by commenting other 3 blogs including mine ?! Then it only took me 3 seconds to find out the connection beetwen [sannandogar] and [amrik] . Having 6 likes and one comment for each trade on your blog, and only seeing the same 4 visitors commenting , we call this a Red Flag.

And yes you're right , [Milani] commented most of my trades (90% as you claim) , but rest assure that he comments over 95% of participating blogs at this contest. And he didn't registered over night by the way .

And now you're asking Dukascopy to delete all those fake comments, but you know if you were to score with your hand at a Soccer match, you would be disqualified for the next two matches. Who makes a mistake losses the right to play. And we are NOT exceptions, we play by the rules of the Organizers, as simple as that.

Thank your for your time and efforts.

guest123. i really pity u! you are a hatred person. why don't u see the performance of sannadogar but only see some pop points even after the pop points being reduced to 10%?

now performance and pips have heighest weightage and then the dukas points. so, don't shout about pop points which only weighs 10%. even if a person is popular but doesn't follow the rules, he can't win.

just relax and concentrate on ur trades than poking ur nose on other traders

Hi, if fake users and sannandogar were banned last week, I should know because I was banned for spamming, I am just wondering, I can't log into my account until a certain date, Now how did Sannadogar log in to create a new login and password;

Sorry for spamming I did it for 3 popularity points, lol

Popularity points really should be excluded from the contest because they can be used to cheat. If everyone played fair then it would work sadly some little monkeys that can't actually trade but can get lucky are adding to their ranking by cheating. I can understand why duka wants you to get visitors to your blog as it increases traffic, but as an evaluation method its a bit sucky to say the least.

All I say is people be fair and honest and try to win because you are the best, not because you can cheat, scam and lie your way to the top. That wom't make you a great trader but a career in politics would be a good choice.
