Questions we get asked

How many accounts can I enter?

Which data feed do I trade on?

The Challenge runs exclusively on dxFeed, from kickoff to the September 30 close.

What happens if I breach the Drawdown?

The challenge account is disabled and drops out of the ranking, same as a regular Qualification account.

When will I get my prize or promo code?

Prizes for the top 10 are distributed once the final ranking is locked, from October 2. Promo codes will be distributed to all our participants from the start of the Challenge. Essential condition: your registration must be complete and your KYC validated, otherwise prizes cannot be awarded.
