5500% in a month. The Impressive Result of the Month Trader of September [Tickmill Competition]
We met two investors who were selected as the best in September in the "Trader of the Month" competition. The first of them, nicknamed Yiufung, achieved a profit of as much as USD 55 with a return rate of 800%, while the second - Chee - earned much less in terms of money, because "only" USD 111, however, twisted an incredible rate of return reaching a result of 9%!
From September 2017, the broker selects two traders of the month, where each of them receives a prize of 1000 $
A brilliant efficiency guaranteeing success
376 transactions a month and the effectiveness over 86%. This means that as many as 323 transactions resulted in a profit on Chee's account. When analyzing the transaction history, you can see the consistency and well-thought-out behavior of the trader. The number of transactions and their duration (very often 1-2 seconds) suggest that we are dealing with an automatic scalping strategy, which was confirmed by the winner himself in an interview for Tickmill. There were only two major currency pairs - EUR / USD and GBP / USD - and only between 9am and 22pm (no overnight trading).
The account statement shows rational capital management. At the beginning, the trader started trading with a small volume, which increased with the growing deposit. After the first successful week of trading, a payment was made to protect the initial deposit from loss.
Transaction history in numbers:
- Profit: $ 9563,15
- Return: 5562,23%
- Total number of transactions: 376
- Profitable transactions: 86,17%
