Competition rules
- Entrants are ranked by percentage return on equity at the end of the month. Ties are broken by higher equity, then by who joined first.
- An entry that breaches a loss limit, or has fewer than the minimum closed trades, is not ranked.
- When the month ends, open positions are closed and the competition account ends.
- Prizes are free Fundzoria challenge accounts, issued after our team reviews the final standings.
- Entries that use multiple accounts, share accounts, coordinate trades or exploit price errors can be disqualified.
- Nicknames, countries and results are shown publicly on the leaderboard, and the top 3 of past competitions stay listed. Do not use your real name if you prefer to stay anonymous.
Choosing a nickname
- 3 to 20 characters: letters, numbers, spaces, dots, dashes or underscores.
- It must start and end with a letter or a number.
