How the winners are determined?

The winners of InstaForex’s Lucky Trader contest are not decided by the largest account balance.

InstaForex uses the rating which is calculated by summation of profit pips and subtraction of loss pips.

Thus the calculation to determine the winners is:

Profit Pips – Loss Pips = Total earned pips

Note that the maximum amount of considered winning pips for each trade is 10 points. It means that even if a profitable deal gains 20, 40 or 50 pips, your rating will be 10 points increased.
