Determination of the Winners, Prizes and Rewards

• Subject to the Contest Rules, the two (2) Winners will be the Participants with the highest profit and highest profit percentage on the last trading day of the month:
  1. Highest profit winning formula: (Net Profit USD)
  2. Net Profit stands for the realised profit earned during the Contest period plus the unrealised profit and loss.
  3. Highest profit percentage winning formula: [((Ending Equity-Net Deposit)/Initial Equity)-1] *100 = ReturnExample:
     On 11.12.2017, Client A made a deposit of 1000 at 12:40, started trading and at 13:00, his equity was 1100. At 13:00, the return on the leader board was: [((Ending Equity – net deposit within an hour) / initial deposit) -1] * 100. So, at:
     13:00: [((1100 – 0) / 1000) -1] *100 = 10% {from 13:00 to 14:00 equity= 1400} – No deposit, no withdrawal
     14:00: [((1400 – 0) / 1000) -1] * 100 = 40% {From 14:00 to 15:00) Made a withdrawal of 200 and a loss of 100, which means that the equity was 1100
     15:00: [((1100 – (– 200 withdrawal) / 1000) – 1] * 100 = 30% {From 15:00 to 16:00 Equity = 1200} No deposit, no withdrawal
     16:00: [((1200 – 0) / 1100 (Ending equity of previous hour)) – 1] * 100 + 30% (previous profits) = 39.09% {From 16:00 to 17:00 Equity = 1000} No deposit, no withdrawal
     17:00: [((1000 – 0) / 1100 (equity after withdrawal)) – 1] * 100 + 30% (previous profits after withdrawal) = 20.90%
  4. Net Deposit stands for the deposit minus the withdrawal (within an hour).
  5. Initial Equity refers to the initial Net Deposit before the Participant starts trading. If a deposit/withdrawal occurs, then the calculation changes to the equity of the previous hour and that will be accounted as the “initial equity” for future calculations.
  6. Tickmill will announce the winners on the Contest page within two weeks of the month end and contact them personally via email.
  7. In the event that a Winner fails to respond to Tickmill’s communication within 2 business days, he/she will be disqualified, and the prize will go to the runner-up.
  8. Before receiving the Prize, the Winners agree to provide their full name and complete a short interview that will be published on Tickmill’s webpage and social media.

• The Bitcoin will be sent to the Winner’s e-wallet.
• The Winners may request the Prize to be given to them in the form of cash, credited to their MT4 trading account within one week of the Winners announcement at the value set on the last day of each month within the Contest period.
