Competition Overview
2017 Expert4x
Forex Trading Challenge
In the last few years Expert4x has run some great trading competitions (see the results below). There have been some very nice cash and holiday prizes won by our trading clients. In the past the prizes ranged from overseas Bahamas Holidays, $5 000 and $ 3 000. This trading challenge will be different in that ANY EAs or manual trading techniques can be used to achieve the best return on Equity over a 5 week period. The object is to stimulate trader creativity to come up with trading approaches and techniques we all can learn from.
Why not accept the challenge and enter this FOREX TRADING CHALLENGE. You can enter and join the competition at any time and trade any trading tools or techniques you like. Entry is free and there are some nice cash and product prizes to be won.
Forex competitions are great as they show what is possible when trading Forex. They are also good learning experiences when winners are prepared to share their strategies. They will help many traders come out of their shells and actually trade with aim of generating gains. Hopefully Watchers will become Players too.
This year we are offering $ 6 000 worth of prizes – many of them in hard cash. To open the competition up to all traders, the top 21 traders will all receive prizes.
The competition runs from 21h00 (GMT) 25th of June 2017 to 21h00 30th of July 2017 (5 weeks)
