We have found the support of many brokers along the years. This proves the industry's interest for the initiative.” The idea behind the competition is for traders to compete with each other, but not only: “We hope to generate a place for learning, trading, sharing strategies and of course offering a reward to the winners”, stresses May. “Giving a relatively limited period of time (1 month) for the traders to get a profitable record encourages them to have a clear vision of their strategy and how they will control risk.” Prizes are provided by the sponsor of the competition, AFB FX, and by the Media Partners: Currensys, fxKnight.com, BKForex.com, Pro Trader Strategies and StrategyQuant. 1st Prize A live trading account* with AFB FX with a credit of USD 5,000 by AFB FX A 5 1/2 workshop series: Trading Essentials + The "Other 95%" by fxKnight Steve Primo's Forex College by Pro Trader Strategies One month subscription t o BK Forex signals by BKForex.com Owned Subscription to Genetic Builder from StrategyQuant 2nd Prize A live trading account* with AFB FX with a credit of USD 2,000 by AFB FX A 1h50 workshop series: Trading Essentials by fxKnight 40 Forex trading lessons by Pro Trader Strategies 1 year free service to Currency Trading Systems by Currensys (Multicharts, esignal and ninjatrader Platforms) 3-months subscription to Genetic Builder from StrategyQuant 3rd Prize A 2h30 workshop series: The "Other 95%" by fxKnight 40 Forex trading lessons by Pro Trader Strategies 3-months subscription to Genetic Builder from StrategyQuant *Only profit made in this trading account can be withdrawn.
