READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the “T&C”) CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS IN RELATIONS WITH DUKASCOPY
Before starting trading in the Contest it is recommended to read the Philosophy of the Contest. To win the Trader contest a participant needs to achieve the following goals:
- To reach the maximum profit within 1 month with the maximum loss limit of 100’000 USD.
- To attract other traders to copy trades generated by the contestant’s trading strategies by showing them outstanding quality of trading.
Additionally Dukascopy expects from participants:
- To show long-term consistent trading results (6 and 12 months respective).
- To explain the idea of the trading strategy and the decision behind each action to other traders.
The Trader Contest should be considered as trading within the monthly limit of 100,000 US dollars renewable each month. The loss of all funds during the contest month should be considered as loss of monthly limit rather than loss of all funds on regular trading account.
One of the contest’s goals is to attract other traders to copy participant’s trades. Number of subscribers is an important factor to win the prize.
Participating in the Trader contest automatically means participating in the Signal Provider Grand Prix with additional prizes! Each month five traders with the highest average profitability in six-month and/or 12-month nomination will compete for additional money prizes. Moreover, the best trader in the 12-month nomination will be awarded a 2,000 USD money prize and the title of the Trader of the Year. Keep in mind that the long term contest (Grand Prix) is based on the two criteria – your equity growth and draw-down.
Scalping and using high leverage are not welcome in the Contest. The set of rules was introduced to encourage predictability, explanations and the ability to reproduce (copy) the trades of the contestants. To ensure this, the rules of the contest contain specific trading conditions and restrictions. Also, one of the main ideas of the rules is to reduce possible cheating.
The Trader Contest is the place where all participants can promote themselves as traders and become popular. Trade, win, create a track record and use it to present yourself. Trader contest is a great place to make a trading career!
Dukascopy Trader Contest (the "Contest") is a forex competition between participants using DEMO accounts for manual trading only (the "Participants"). Any forms of automated trading are forbidden. Several trading limitations are designed to make the competition more fair and analytical.
Participants are expected to keep a register of their trading activity: write blog posts about their deals, trading methods, expectations, thoughts behind the deals, trading plans and other related to the Participant’s trading information. Plagiarism is strictly forbidden. The amount of the quoted text must correspond with the purpose of citing.
The posts of each participant are displayed in “Trader's blog” section on his contest page and also in Community Blog and are tagged “Trader's blog”. The quality and accuracy of these records will be beneficial for obtaining more blog points from Contest’s moderator.
Final ranking of participant represents the sum of points for pure trading performance, copied volume by the signal subscribers, quality of orders and the points for Trader's blog.
Despite the fact the Trader contest leaders table will show participants with less than 60% max draw-down for the current month the traders with higher draw-down can also claim prizes.

- Every Participant should have only one unique nickname and email linked with his/her personal details, which will be used for the account opening with Dukascopy in case of awarding of a Contest prize.
- Only Participants who have a positive balance more than 100,000 may claim to be awarded by any of the prizes.
- Trader’s blog posts should not be shorter than 50 words and may be written in any language. In case post contains picture or chart the limitation lowers to 20 words.
- Use of offensive or abusive language may cause disqualification from Dukascopy Community and Contest.
- Official results of every month will be published during 2 weeks.
- Dukascopy reserves the right to set a 1-day ban to any contest participant or community user in case of continuous breaches of contest rules. A permanent disqualification can be applied if a serious violation is detected.
Each month, the score table is formed on the basis of 4 criteria, with a maximum total score of 303-306 points:
Performance - real increase of capital. Maximum - 200 points.
Signal subscribers - nomination consists of 2 components:
- DEMO - cumulative traded volumes copied by the DEMO signal subscribers active in Social Trading contest are taken into account. Restriction: the copied volume is counted if signal subscriber has subscribed to at least 5 providers. Maximum 15 points.
- LIVE - cumulative traded volumes copied by the LIVE signal subscribers are taken into account. Maximum 10 points.
- Orders quality - volume-weighted share of trades made with conditional orders. It is calculated as a ratio of the traded volume made with conditional orders to the total traded volume. Conditional orders include pending Entry orders, SL and TP orders. Maximum – 50 points.
- Trader’s blog - The score entered by a moderator for the quality and accuracy of the posts with "Trader's blog" tag. Maximum 28-31 points (depends on the number of days in the current month).
According to the places in nomination 'Performance' ,the Participants will gain points from 200 till 1 in the following sequence: (1) 200, (2) 180, (3) 170, (4) 165, (5) 160, (6) 159, (7) 158, ... (164) 1.
For 'Signal subscribers' points are assigned linearly.
- DEMO: (1) 15, (2) 14, (3) 13, ... (15) 1.
- LIVE: (1) 10, (2) 9, (3) 8, ... (10) 1.
The 'Order's quality' evaluation is obtained from the volume-weighted share of trades made with conditional orders. The percentage of such trades is then multiplied by the maximum score – 50 points. E.g. 90% of conditional volumes – 45 points, 50% - 25 points, etc.
Moderators are checking the Trader's blog for all participants, that shall not post more than 1 time per day. 1 post per 1 day is counted and the maximum points depend on the number of days in the particular month. The Contest moderator decides whether to assign points for the posts or not. Posting of spam, senseless posts, plagiarism and over-citing will be punished by assigning -1 point for each post. The rule “1 post per 1 day is counted” is not applied for spam-posts.
Please notice: At equal quantity of points, the preference will be given to the trader with the latest date of registration in the Contest.
