How often do you run competitions?

The online competition runs every month with a new leaderboard and new trading pairs. On top of that we hold a live tournament about once a month. Registered traders get the invitation by email.

A 5% maximum daily loss and a 10% maximum total loss, one account per trader. EA bots, hedging, scalping under 30 seconds and high-frequency trading are not allowed.

How are winners paid?

We contact winners directly. Cash prizes are paid by crypto or bank transfer, or in cash at our offices in Nigeria or Slovakia.

Do I need a funded account to join?

No. Anyone with a ThaurusGuru account can enter. It is a separate competition account, not a challenge.
