The only way to win Trader's Contest is by using high leverage. If you don't there will be others that will. Top two positions have equity above 600k. There is no point for me winning anything but the 1st place. High leverage also helped me to get from 62k on Friday after a bad start to 380k maximum equity today but the mistakes are very expensive as well. I am left with 177k equity at the moment, not far away from a margin call. I'll consider this month a loss because I have no reason to continue.

As a suggestion to improve the user experience in the contest I think the 2% limitation should be changed to a fix amount of pips. Changing the settings every time for every instrument is not pleasant.

Good luck to those who are still competing for top 10.
