Because every participant enters with the same fixed deposit of USD 10, performance is measured purely on trading skill \u2014 not the size of the starting capital.<\/p>\n<p>This structure means a trader who grows their USD 10 by 200% ranks above one who grows a larger account by 150%, regardless of the absolute dollar amounts involved. It removes the inherent advantage that comes with deeper pockets and puts the focus squarely on decision-making, strategy, and execution.<\/p>\n<p>The contest is open to both new and existing TradingPRO clients worldwide, aged 18 and above. Trading is conducted on a ScalpX account via MetaTrader 5, with 1:500 leverage and instruments limited to forex pairs and gold. Participants must trade more than minimum lot during the contest period to remain prize-eligible.<\/p>\n<p>The USD10,000 prize pool is distributed across 20 winners, with first place taking USD3,500. In the event of a tie in profit percentage, the prize is awarded to the participant with the highest volume traded.<\/p>\n<p>Full contest terms and conditions are available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingpro.com\/\">www.tradingpro.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stay Connected with TradingPRO.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/tradingpro\">Telegram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.trading-pro.app\/marketing\/links\/go\/408\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.trading-pro.app\/marketing\/links\/go\/411\">LinkedIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tpro.global\/\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.trading-pro.app\/marketing\/links\/go\/412\">X (Twitter)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TradingPRO&#8217;s 10th Years Anniversary Contest Volume 2 ranks participants by profit percentage rather than absolute profit \u2014 a structure that levels the playing field for traders regardless of account size or capital.
