Key Rules to Know Before Participating

• This is a live trading contest — a minimum $100 real deposit is required. Real capital is at risk.
• Traders can open more than one contest account, provided they meet the eligibility criteria each time.
• Each client can win only one prize — the highest value prize they qualify for across all their accounts.
• The account is in Read Only mode until 27 July — deposits can be made post-registration, but trading only starts on contest day.
• Arbitrage, hedging across accounts, and exploiting price feed failures are strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification.
• Opening large opposing positions on the same currency pair across different accounts is also grounds for disqualification.
• All taxes on winnings are the sole responsibility of the participant.
• Phyntex Markets reserves the right to cancel, amend, or terminate the contest at any time.

Risk note: This is a live trading contest requiring a real $100 deposit. Forex and CFD trading involves significant risk — the loss of invested capital may occur. A high PnL ranking in a contest does not guarantee future trading profitability. Confirm current terms and eligibility at www.phyntexmarkets.com before participating.
