QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Before you enter.

Do I need to trade with real money?

The event is designed around demo accounts and virtual funds, with no real-money trading. Final participation conditions, any fees and eligibility requirements are still to be announced.

Can I take part without trading experience?

The concept is for people interested in finance, economics and global markets. Any experience, age or regional restrictions will be stated in the final eligibility criteria.

How will the final rankings be decided?

The draft proposes ranking by final account equity, with trading records reviewed before publication. Minimum activity requirements, tie-breaks and rule enforcement are still to be confirmed.

Does completing this form register me for the competition?

No. This form demonstrates the interface only. It does not send or store your details, or create a demo trading account. The page will be updated when official registration opens.
