Placing on the leaderboard is not automatic. To be paid a prize you must clear the contest's qualification requirements, which are shown live on your Prize Eligibility card while the contest runs. There are usually three:
- A minimum number of qualifying trades.
- A minimum turnover (the volume you trade).
- Finishing in profit, above your starting balance.
What counts as a qualifying trade?
A qualifying trade is a genuine round trip. You open a position, hold it for at least the contest's minimum time, then close it, at a minimum size.
- Opening and closing a position inside that time window does not count.
- Splitting a single trade into many small orders does not turn it into many trades. It is still one trade.
- Your turnover counts only the volume from qualifying trades.
The exact numbers (how many trades, how much turnover, the minimum hold time) are set per contest and shown on your Prize Eligibility card and at gidipex.com/contests. Your Prize Eligibility card updates live, so it is the source of truth for where you stand.
