How To Sign Up
Traders have until 00:01 EDT on 24 April to register for a contest account.
New joiners will need to provide their name, nickname, email address, contact number, and country of residency.
SurgeTrader will send login details to the trader’s registered email address.
Contest Rules
There are several competition rules:
- 5% daily loss limit – based on the trader’s balance at the end of the previous day. The limit resets at 5 pm EST.
- 6% maximum trailing drawdown – the total amount that traders can draw down before infringing their account. The trailing maximum drawdown will increase until participants hit a 6% profit target. At this point, SurgeTrader will remove the trailing drawdown, allowing traders to draw back down to their starting balance.
- 10 lots maximum – traders cannot have more than 10 lots open at any point. Breaching this level will result in disqualification.
