Default FX Trader of the Year 2009 Live Contest

Sponsored by

Do you want to get a proprietary trader position at Nordmarkets? OK, now it's the time: FXstreet.com, in collaboration with Nordmarkets, is proud to announce that we start the FX Trader of the Year 2009 Live Contest edition.

The winner of the contest will get a proprietary trader position at Nordmarkets. Also he/she will be invited to attend our next International Traders Conference edition and give a speech.

There will be also prizes for the following subcategories:

> Risk Expert - Nord's Favourite
> Best Winning Streak
> Best Winning Trade

We'll give more details in the next days. By the moment, you have to register at Nordmarkets website. Just fill out the following form:

http://www.nordmarkets.com/toty/toty09_form.html

Please choose Live account (unless you prefer to participate in the Demo Contest) competition and click on MT4. The platform choice is irrelevant on the live contest since you will be trading your own live account.

After that, you will have to register in the forum and reply to this thread by posting that you accept the contest rules and providing the name of your broker and account type (Standard or Mini).

Anyway take into account that the competition will start on May 4th, 0.00 h. CET and will last 3 months until July 31st, 22.00 h. CET. Registration deadline is May 1st, 23.00 h. CET

Come on, show us who is the best FX Trader of the world and why Nordmarkets should hire you!!!

Best regards,
FXWizard

PS: Attached to this message you can find the contest rules in PDF format.

I had already applied for the demo contest. This time I checked "BOTH" option. I hope it is fine. Regards.

Edit: sorry for the stupid question, but... what does "proprietary trader position at Nordmarkets" mean? Thanks.

Nordmarkets has just sent me the info about the Prop Trader position:

Quote:
Members of Nord Remote Prop Trading group trade with Nord’s own money within set risk parameters set out by Nord.

The winner of the Live contest will be allowed:

> To hold 1 lot open to begin with and gradually get his/her risk-level increased based on the performance of his/her trading.

> The maximum loss accepted is between 5000 - 20,000 USD; this limit be set by Nord, based on the individual trader’s trading style.

> The trader will start with a 50/50 split of the monthly profits with Nord and gradually get it increased to the benefit of the trader based on the performance of the trading style.


Nord Remote Prop traders trade on the NordINTERBANK account with streaming prices from +13 banks.

Regards,
FXWizard

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
