The traditional February Fondexx Prop Contest was truly unique this year. The absence of risk per day which was one of the main features of this year's competition, despite allows traders to maximize the potential of the strategy, but clearly demonstrates how important risk management is for successful market trading.
Let's take a look in more detail at what were the features of the competition. First of all, it is striking that the list of top 20 traders changed radically every week and the final result wasn’t obvious until the last moment. The leader of each week lost not only the profit, but also the entire risk deposit within a few days after the publication of the intermediate week results.
The daring attempts of using of manipulations in the demo environment was a doubtful trend of this year contest.
We would like to remind you that any manipulations are not allowed within the competition and an irrelevant result will be annulled. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened with the leader of the last week, which result consisted entirely of manipulations with fake prints.
In addition, some participants openly ignored the rules regarding the maximum size of overnight positions due to the desire to make more profit, but as a result received additional losses.
