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:

  1. To reach the maximum profit within 1 month with the maximum loss limit of 100’000 USD.
  2. 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:
  1. To show long-term consistent trading results (6 and 12 months respective).
  2. 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.

Um dos objetivos do concurso é atrair outros traders a copiar negociações dos participantes. Número de subscrições é um fator importante para ganhar o prêmio.

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.

Regras de Cálculo de Ranking

Cada mês, a tabela de pontuação é formada com base em 4 critérios, com uma pontuação total máxima de 303-306 pontos:

  1. Performance - real aumento de capital. Máximo - 200 pontos.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. 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.


Only Participants with real positive increase of capital can be treated as Contest nominees.
The winners with higher than 60% of max draw-down can also claim prizes.
