Trader of the month earned in August over 10 000 $ [Tickmill Contest]

We know another winner in the Tickmill "Trader of the Month" competition. A trader with the pseudonym AD made over $ 31 in 10 days, generating a 000% rate of return.

Even 20 flights per transaction

When analyzing the history of AD transactions, you cannot help but get the impression that you are dealing with an automatic trade (Expert Advisor). The trader of the month 'August 2017' is based on pending orders (and sometimes their entire grids) issued at various times of the day. The statement itself has as many as 30 pages, although only about 90 transactions were finalized. All positions were opened on only three major currency pairs - EUR / USD, GBP / USD and USD / JPY. The volume of orders is impressive, which in the first week of August reached 10.0 lots for a single position, but then almost all the time for 20 lots. On average, one transaction yielded a profit of $ 111.

competition rules

The trader is selected by the Tickmill Jury. The win is not only determined by the rate of return - it is the total that matters. Overall, i.e. the factors such as earned profit, position management, risk and trading skills are taken into account. There is also one more necessary condition - interviewing the broker and consent to make the account history public. Only then does the prize of $ 1 go to the trader's investment account.

The principles introduced are aimed not only at showing that you can make money on the Forex market, but also consciously educate and encourage sharing experience with other traders.
