The BULL & BEAR Demo Contest is over and we are thrilled to announce the winners! Eight skilled traders have claimed their shares of a $5,600 Prize Pool after three weeks of trading completely RISK-FREE on their free FXTM Demo Accounts! Drazen Ziskovic from Croatia clinched the top spot and a prize of $3,000! Check out the full list of winners and CASH prizes in the table below:

We’d like to wholeheartedly congratulate our winners and extend a big thank you to everyone who participated in the FXTM BULL & BEAR Demo Trading Contest – our most popular Forex Demo contest to date!

Here’s what our winners had to say about the Bull & Bear Demo Contest:

We asked our Top 8 to tell us how it felt to win, what kind of strategy* they used and what they thought about the contest:

Our 6^th Place winner, Sergey Beshliaga told us that, “There is nothing easier than to start trading on a demo account. You will not risk your funds, and you can win real prizes”, and Hoa Hoang in 2^nd Place enthused, “This is a wonderful contest. It is very attractive.”

Finally, our overall champion and 1^st Place winner, Drazen Zizkovic gave us an insight into his strategy, “My winning strategy is mostly based on intuition and instinctive knowledge. A confluence of fundamental and technical factors contribute to what I feel is the most probable short term market direction and I use intuition as a final trigger. Profitable trading is hard to achieve on a live account, so this system works well on demo accounts only, where emotions are eliminated since there is no risk to lose funds.”

* The trading strategies listed here were disclosed by the winners of the competition. ForexTime does not support or endorse any of the aforementioned strategies and the contents of this post should not be misunderstood as investment advice. ForexTime reminds that such type of strategies may not be suitable for all investors and results may differ between demo and live environments.

There you have it! The BULL & BEAR was such a massive success that we already have new Demo and Live contests in the works.
