The results are ranked based on the highest profit growth rate for both real and demo accounts. The top 8 participants in the preliminary round will advance to the finals. The formula for calculating the account profit growth rate is as follows: Account Net Growth = (Net Value at the end of the competition) / (Account Value at the start of the competition + Total Deposits during the competition).
The event lasts for a month, and the participant with the highest account profit each week is declared the weekly champion.
As long as the account balance shows a positive growth, i.e. the account balance at the end of the competition is greater than the initial account balance plus all deposits made during the competition period, participants will be eligible for a prize. Real account participants will receive a HK$500 cash reward, while simulated account participants will receive a HK$100 supermarket voucher.
After the competition ends, cash prizes will be deposited into the winners' real trading accounts based on withdrawal conditions. As for the supermarket vouchers, they will be mailed to the winners.
Participants must conduct at least 5 trades and accumulate 3 lots. The holding time for each trade must be a minimum of 2 minutes. For example, if there are a total of 300 trades and 295 of them are closed within 1 minute, that’s fine, as long as 5 of those trades exceed 2 minutes in duration, you will still qualify.
This competition is only open to new customers residing in Hong Kong and existing MTF customers.
