Congrats Dukascopy

Congratulations are in order to the Dukascopy Live Trader Contest team for publishing the results of last week's competition on Monday 7 September. I think this is the first time this has happened in my 10years with Dukascopy. So thanks Dukascopy for that and the work that went into ensuring that the results could be published this fast. This is how as it should be. Looking forward to more improvements.

Hats Off!

As we begin another contest week, I take my hat off to those who are constantly in the rankings! This means they have largely figured out how to trade most market conditions on the instruments they trade, using their style of trading. THAT is no mean feat, and is to be applauded. I look forward, however, to a time when one contestant can be Number 1 four weeks in a row. To see that would, for me, be a great spectacle that would remind me of no other!!
As we say where I come from, it is not by wa…

@nung Commissions from volume is how Dukascopy also makes money from the contest. At the end of the day, if you look at it carefully, we are all contributing to the prize money. :) It is a good arrangement, everybody wins.

Or a mix..... Minimum equity, minimum volume to be on ranking, and more prizes

stop dreaming, start praying so that Dukascopy won`t terminate the last trading contest:)

Dukascopy will resume the good days of monthly demo trader contests and make the smart community great again , moreover the live contest and rules are ok and should be maintained........... :) congrat to contestants winning consistently

hanslkloss this contest won't be terminated as it seems to be covering its cost by commissions, in a way its self-sustaining. But that is only my assumption. if more contestants participate, prize pool may increase. Its good motivation for traders and more clients for broker (so this contest is win win situation for both party.)

Need to take into account contest starting amount?

I find this contest exciting and engaging but it seems to me that the amount one starts the contest with at the beginning of the week needs to be factored into the calculation of the profitability percentage. Here is what I have observed. The smaller the amount one starts the contest with, the better their chances of winning by a greater percentage. In other words, one who starts the contest on $1 has a better and quicker chance of getting to 100% by just adding another $1 to the starting amount…

Technically, with any size of starting deposit you need to perform the same trading to double the account. Whether you start with  $1 or $1000's. Let's say you trade EUR/USD with the maximum lot size possible. (Assuming leverage is 1/100) You need to make at least 230 pips to double the account with a single trade.

I think the minimum deposit of at least 1st reward is a good idea. That would eliminate "all or nothing" attempts which have nothing to do with real trading and consistent profitability.

If your account hits below 20 USD all positions are closed and your account blocked. So you need more than 20 USD in your account.  To be able to trade and keep your positions open during time you will always need at least more than 30 USD as deposit. It's not easy to survive and make money with smaller account. Doubling account and keep your chances going even when you lost your a couple trade is easier with greater account. It's all your choice, rules are simple and FAIR.

As I see from discussion in my opinion main idea of  this discussion is how to minimize "gambling" trading style when participating in the contest. I think the best way is to include requirement for drawdown (such requirement was used in Signal Provider contest), e.g. 25% (as was suggested by WallStreetBlog) and calculate drawdown on hourly basis.

Important thing is to obtain biggest possible profit with lowest possible 'traded volume". Why? Less you invest the less risk you involve. But it is very easy to get Traded volume points. One can do few times sell and buy operation for the same currency (USDJPY is the best because it has the lowest commissions) and he/she has it....
