Other Features of Contest Arena
“Contest Arena offers hundreds of trader contests, which are divided into two main categories,” says Mr. Pouroutis, “they are:
1. With fixed number of participants – a certain number of participants is required for this category, and the contest starts only when this requirement is fulfilled.
2. Scheduled − contests from this category have a set starting time. The contest starts despite the number of registered traders.
Besides, the contests are classified by the following types:
− Standard − they are ideal for beginner traders, who want to try hand at a typical contest. These contests follow the typical scheme.
− With guaranteed prizes − contests with highest money prizes. Each of them has a guaranteed prize fund, which is divided between several winners in correspondence with the places won. In this reference, the prize fund is unlimited and may reach millions of dollars as far as the number of registered participants is rising.
− Face to face – duel of traders, when participants compete with one another.
− Race − contests end at the moment when equity of one of the traders reaches the previously set sum. If none of the traders reaches this point by the time the contest is over, the prize fund will be distributed by the standard scheme.”

“But, there is more. From now on a trader, registered as a participant of XM Contest Arena,” adds the broker representative, “gets 20 dollars granted from our company; this sum is automatically transferred into his account. If this is the first time you open a trading account in our company, you are to do the following:
− Open an account;
− Enter a Personal Cabinet;
− Register your nickname and get 20 dollars.”
“Clients who already have trading accounts in XM company are only to effect two last actions,” explains Mr. Pouroutis.
“The 20-dollar bonus may be used in Contest Arena for buying tickets to any contests. Tickets are access to certain paid contests (there also are free ones). In this reference, the major part of the payment makes up the prize fund, whereas a considerably small amount is a reward of the organizers (both sums are indicated in terms of participation for every paid contest).
Consequently, the higher the price of the ticket, the higher the prize fund of the contest is; it is divided between several winners, and you may easily become one of them,” specifies the “Market Leader” interviewee.
Most Popular Tournaments of Contest Arena
“At present weekly trader tournaments Big Free and Big Small may be called most popular within the framework of XM Contest Arena,” says Andreas Pouroutis.
The first one is hold every Monday on a free basis; its prize fund amounts to 500 dollars. However, there is one nuance, only those traders who have spend over 20 dollars on contest tickets during the previous week. At the same time, the free capital provided for participation in contests is not taken into consideration.
Registration for Big Free starts one week before the contest itself. You may also register for the contest after its start, during the first 15 minutes. Duration of the tournament is 1 hour. Starting balance is 10 000 dollars, and trading instruments are Forex market assets.
The money prize of Big Free contest may be output immediately. You may also spend the money won on tickets for other contests or on your trade at financial markets. This will help you to considerably increase your trading volume and, consequently, get high profit.
Big Small contest is a competition with a guaranteed prize fund of 2 000 dollars. Every participant is given a chance to win a considerable money prize by paying a small price (5 dollars + 50 cents). The contest is held every Thursday and lasts for 4 hours; its starting deposit is 10 000 dollars.
You may use any financial assets, and even apply trading advisors. The more traders partake in the contest, the higher the prize fund is. In this reference, the prize of every winner will be higher; therefore, 2 000 dollars is a minimal sum of a prize fund, which may rise endlessly.
Registration for Big Small tournament starts two hours before the contest. “However,” admits Mr. Pouroutis, “one may register during the first hour after the start of the contest.” Similarly to Big Free, the money won may be either output immediately, or used for buying tickets for other contests, or used for trade at financial markets.
