Thoughts on COMP/S.
I am thinking about this comp and comps in general. There is only one way to win and thats to push the boundaries, if you trade in a sensible manner and trade well increasing your account by 1% a day = 20% over the month you still have little to no chance of winning.
If you look at the past contests and the % increase of the winners you will see what Im on about, all the winners took risks OR got seriously lucky.
No 'sensible' trader wins (without some good luck) and the winners normally have huge drawdowns.
What are your thoughts? MINE = We need to take risks to win ANY comp OR be on the right end of a BREXIT type trade.
Not saying comp winners are bad traders just that Taking LARGE RISK and LUCK seem to be major factors.
No pain ... No gain 😎
i win before and get 2nd position in contest ,,,, can not say it was completely luke but you need alot of it .
good luke 😉

I agree with you. I took part in another competition before, and the winner was just a gambler. He had 400+% return in 3 months and a huge drawdown (can't remember the exact number but quite sure it was > 30%).
I think a competition is meaningless if the overall % increase in account is the only yardstick in deciding the winner. I am joining just to see what kind of traders are out there and for the fun of it.
The organisers should look at introducing an additional rule of 'not more than 10% or 20% peak-trough drawdown' to try and sift out gamblers winning on luck.
i think the organiser doesn't care who wins. they are looking for specific types of traders. it could be anyone 1st 10th or even 500th . as long as they fit the kind of pattern trader. maybe consistency with less drawdown. that traders will be approached privately. just my 2 cents here

Hi GDMFX Support Team,
what is Margin call/Stop out levels ?......or there is no Margin call/Stop out levels ?.....thanks
Very important question
Hello. The Margin call is at 100% and the Stopout is at 50%. We have already contacted Myfxbook about the issue with the balances, and they should load each participating account with 10 000 USD shortly.

95% of Traders blow out their account and these are the Traders that Brokers are very interested in because that's where Brokers make their money.
Brokers are not interested in the other 5% Consistent Traders.
Check out the Broker in details before depositing your hard-earned money with them.
