More than a third of the contestants have obtained returns above 100% using only a 5:1 leverage, while 748 contestants have lost half the account.

Last year, 764 traders participated to FXstreet.com's Contest, which was only organized with Demo Accounts. The four winners were Ryan Dixon (Jamaica) for the Maximum Run-up category, Boris Matusov (United States) for the Risk Expert - Nord's Favourite category, Ezekiel Tan (Australia) for the Best Winning Streak and See Yew Teck (Singapore) for the Best Winning Trade. Boris Matusov attended the ITC 2008 in Barcelona as well as See Yew Teck who also gave a speech, sharing his trading tips with the audience.
