"i bet a scalper will not win !! lol" haha well anyway it is from November, did they had earlier any contests?
I'm afraid of a problem that , in order to win a contect by maximising returns/profits, most likely a trader when using paper (free) money for trading may not care too much about the principle of capital preservation (with healthy returns).
Of course. If you have to trade against 100 people and all that counts is who has the most money in the end, the only viable strategy is to risk as much as possible. And that in turn will produce one lucky guy who makes 100000000% in a month, and what better publicity could there be for a bucket shop?
I guess they will not publish such statistics - what % of all players lost money. Only Top Ten Traders, Contest Winners with astronomical returns
