FXOpen announces the launch of the ForexCup Trading Championship 2021

Global FX and CFD broker FXOpen has today announced they are offering traders the opportunity to compete with the best, to win 50,000 USD, with the launch of the ForexCup Trading Championship 2021.

The ForexCup Trading Championship is a one-of-a-kind contest designed to engage investors, traders, and portfolio managers in a fair and reliable global competition. The contest runs from January 1 to December 31 2021. For an entire year, participants will compete for both the title of the best trader and for the cash prize of $50,000 U.S. dollars, which will go to the trader who demonstrates the most profit at the end of the year. 

  • The contest is available to anyone with an active FXOpen ECN account. The only requirement is to have a minimum trading deposit and follow the contest rules.
  • Participants can choose any instruments available within their jurisdictions: spot FX, Index, Commodity, Stock, Metal or Crypto CFDs.
  • Three personalized crystal trophies are prepared for the first three places, and the trader who takes the first place will receive a cash prize of $50,000 without any additional conditions. 

The ForexCup Trading Championship is a brand-new name among other trading competitions, but it has a big legacy. With the support of renowned partners, including global Forex ECN broker FXOpen, the championship provides an opportunity for traders to compete with the best and put their trading strategies to the test. 

Gary Thomson, Chief Operating Officer of FXOpen UK, comments “We launched the ForexCup Trading Championship to provide our clients the unique opportunity to test not only themselves but to measure and compare their trading skills against their peers, to take the coveted position of Top Trader. Ultimately, we hope this will identify and inspire the next generation of Forex enthusiasts.”

FIA urges CFTC to regulate use cases rather than AI itself

“We urge the CFTC to refrain from crafting new regulations that generally regulate AI because this approach presents certain well-known pitfalls. By approaching the issue from the perspective of AI as a technology, rather than the use case for the technology, corresponding regulations would likely necessitate a definition of AI. We anticipate that any attempt to properly define AI would be very challenging and require considerable resources.”
