Keep checking here over this weekend for more details about October's contest, starting tomorrow!
 
Win a brand new Kindle Fire!

October's T2W Forex Contest is now on..

For this contest we racked our brains to come up with a prize as attractive as last month's iPad 2. So it's a good thing Amazon announced last week the release of their eagerly awaited new color tablet called the Kindle Fire.

We're going to pre-order one for the lucky winner and ship it out direct from the US when it's released next month. Note, although these are only available in the US, if the winner resides in Canada, the UK or Europe we'll ship there too (outside these countries it'll depend on shipping/import costs).

The new dedicated contest section of the website will go live this month, a bit later than planned due to work on another new section of the site that we hope will go live later this week.

How to enter

Entry is free and takes just a couple of minutes. First, sign up on ForexDesk, using the invitation code "T2WCOMP" and your T2W username. Once you're activated your account, log in and create a new practice account using the default settings. You can call it whatever you like but you must add #T2W-OCT11 to the name, to enter this month's contest. Then make at least one trade during the month to qualify for the prize.

Fantastic work Sharky and the T2W team!

I was hoping to see another gadget prize for this month. I thought maybe last month was a one off.

Great stuff
 
It would be even more fantastic and good stuff if someone would fix the contest computer. I can no longer place or close orders.

Thanks for reporting this beginnerjoe. We've got some technical glitch this morning and the dev team are investigating. Hopefully will be fixed shortly.
 
anyone else having issues with the site being very slow? big lag between placing trades and seeing them in my account
 
We're still working on the problem, hoping to have things back to normal shortly.
 
What, back to normal as in still broken you mean?



(Just kidding Sharky. Couldn't resist.)
 
=) I'll let that one go..

So, everything should be working again now - thanks for your patience.

The current leaderboard has evernever out in front, closely followed by Gordon Gekko. The current top 10 is as follows:

If you are making money losing trades I notice it let's you trade :cheesy:

As you can see I have no problem executing my trades :)

I was taking/at the top of the leader board when the system "went a bit funny". It happened before. The correlation could be felt.
 
I have an open position, and when I try to close it it says it's already closed:
moreinfo could not close 8 lots EURUSD (sell, Open) for account moreinfo #T2W-OCT11 at best price Position already closed
Not to mention that updating delayed orders works only sometimes.
The platform has a big problems!
