Have Other Questions?

1. Can one enter late?

Yes, but contestants who enter late start as of the close on the day they enter. For that reason, if you decide to enter late, you will need to take a photo or print-screen of your account value as of the close on the day you enter and email it to normanz@earthlink.net. That will be your starting value for percentage increase computation purposes.

2. Is the competition open to non-US citizens?

Yes, it is open to traders from all countries.

3. What is the difference between the MMVR division and the $20,000+ division?

The MMVR division requires a $1 million+ account. If you start with less than $1 million and do not add additional funds, your profit will be divided by $1 million to determine your percentage increase. It is also more prestigious.

4. Can I add or remove money from the specified account?

Yes. Please see the “How to report” page for more information.

5. How will you promote me if I do well?

The main reason for participating in these competitions is to create a documented track record. That will help enormously if you wish to manage money, work with a hedge fund, start a newsletter, etc. We will make every effort to assist you in that regard. In addition to listing your performance on financial-competitions.com each month, we send out press releases quarterly, which are carried by many publications around the world. We also tweet the results to thousands of followers of @USICOfficial. As you can see by clicking on the “Press” link, this competition has received much coverage over the years. Our former top traders have made hundreds of millions of dollars, at least in part because of the coverage they received.
