What our participants say
The highlight for me was the intense final days, managing risk while maintaining consistent performance under pressure truly tested my discipline and strategy. What surprised me most was how quickly market sentiment could shift during key sessions — it reminded me that adaptability is just as important as having a strong plan. To future competitors, focus on consistency over excitement. It’s not about making the biggest trade, it’s about making the right trade. Risk management, emotional control, and patience are what truly separate winners from the rest.
It was a tough competition. What struck me the most during the competition was the trading conditions, stable spreads, and super fast execution — which were key for making it a win for me. I advise other traders to stay focused and composed, don't rush any trades and stick to your gameplan.
The most notable feature of the tournament is the availability of many trading tools and symbols where I can trade gold, synthetic indices and crypto. The surprise for me was the instant and direct update of the leaderboard moment by moment. I would like to advise other traders to evaluate their trading before making any decision in the upcoming tournament.
Thank you for the recognition and for organizing such a great tournament.
The highlight of the competition for me was that competition was a fierce marathon of talented traders, and it really tested my consistency and endurance throughout the 14 days. Something that caught me by surprise is that one trader held the first position for six straight days but lost all their money in just 72 hours. That was a powerful reminder of how important psychological discipline is in the trading environment. It was a truly rewarding experience, and I’m looking forward to the next tournament.
I would like to thank Deriv and everyone involved in this wonderful competition. Honestly, the competition was an opportunity for me to try trading on Synthetic Indices. I had heard about them before and tried them briefly, but the competition was a great chance for me to trade these new tools and it was a fantastic opportunity as the company's platform offers a wide variety of these Synthetic Indices. Honestly, I found them to be profitable, and the trading strategy I use yields excellent results with the Synthetic Indices.
