The "WH SelfInvest Intelligent Trading Competition" (the competition) is organized by WH SelfInvest S.A. and its branch offices (the organizer). The precise dates of each monthly competition are published on the organizer’s webpage.
All participants start with a real-time demo account with a fictive 50.000 € account balance. The two objectives of the competition are: a) to increase the account balance by buying and selling the instruments available in the demo account and b) to display consistent trading skill. Participants who demonstrate consistent trading skill benefit from a multiplier, which increases their overall score.
No commissions are charged. The competition, unless announced otherwise, starts on a Monday at 10h00 and ends 12 days later, on a Friday at 22h00. Sunday evening forex trading will be included in Monday’s trading statistics.
The competition consists of four pre-rounds and a final round. Participants can register for any number of pre-rounds. Only a participant’s best score from the pre-round(s) will be considered as the relevant score to qualify for the final round. To qualify for the final round the participant must rank within the 100 highest scores.
Participation in the competition is free.
Participation is limited to private individuals aged 18 or above, with their legal domicile in the E.U. or Switzerland. Participation is limited to one registration per individual per pre-round.
Participation is only possible upon completion of the secure online registration procedure. All data provided via the online registration procedure is stored by the organizer and is subject to the relevant privacy laws as detailed in the organizer’s privacy policy.
Participants registering for more than one pre-round must use identical personal data and the same nickname.
Registration for the competition can be done at any time up to 72 hours/days before the start of the competition. After this deadline it is only possible to register for the next monthly competition.
Upon completion of the online registration procedure participants receive an email confirming their registration. Friday, 72 hours before the start of the competition, participants receive a second email confirming their participation and the start of the competition on Monday. Monday morning participants receive their username and password.
The organizer reserves the right to refuse registration or to terminate participation without notice or explanation at any time and for any reason.
For each participant a score is calculated. To get a score participants must execute at least 1 trade (a trade is the open and close of the same position) in 5 out of 10 competition days.
The score is equal to the profit from the closed positions. The profit from the closed positions can be augmented by a multiplier.
A multiplier of 2 is applied if the participant obtains a profit of at least 250 € per day in 7 or more of the 10 competition days.
A multiplier of 3 is applied if the participant ranks in the daily top 10 in 7 or more of the 10 competition days.
A multiplier of 4 is applied if the participant finishes in the daily top 10 in each of the 10 competition days and obtains a profit of at least 250 € every competition day.
Participants cannot have open positions at the end of the competition. All positions must be closed before the end of the competition.
A prize of 5.000 €, 2.000 € and 1.000 € will be awarded to the participants with respectively the highest score, the second highest score, and the third highest score in the final round only. If participants have equal scores, the participants’ best score(s) in the pre-round(s) are considered. No other prizes are awarded.
All participants, who have registered validly for the competition, and who have a positive score in the competition receive a commission reduction, if they open a Futures or CFD-Forex account with the organizer.
Prizes awarded for different competitions cannot be cumulated.
Seuls les jours où les participants exécutent au moins une transaction (une transaction correspond à l'ouverture et la fermeture d'une même position) sont pris en compte pour l'obtention des médailles.

For administrative reasons prizes are credited by the organizer to a real account which the participant opens or has with the organizer. A prize is not an account opening bonus or a trading credit. The participant is not required to transfer funds to the account or to place a minimum number of orders.
After the competition all participants who qualify for a prize will receive a voucher via email. This voucher is made up in favour of the personal details provided by the participant during the competition’s registration procedure. By adding this voucher to their account application participants can claim the prize they won. The account bonus can only be credited to the account if the personal details provided as part of the registration procedure exactly match the personal details provided on the account application.
Prizes are non-transferable.
Prizes must be claimed within one month after the competition.
Participants can in no way claim the fictive account balance of their competition account.
The organizer reserves the right to not award a prize or to not honour an awarded prize should it be ascertained that a participant is responsible for any irregularity as per the sole opinion of the organizer. The final verification of a prize will happen when a participant redeems his voucher for an account bonus. All decisions of the organizer in this respect are final.
The organizer has invested significant resources and effort into assuring the competition proceeds without issues. Should any issues arise, whatever the nature thereof, the participant agrees to not hold the organizer responsible for any type of damages and agrees he will not claim any compensation. Should any issues arise it is at the sole discretion of the organizer to decide upon the best way to remedy them, including but not limited to interrupting or terminating the competition.
The competition operates via the Internet only. It is not possible to place orders or cancel orders via the organizer’s support desk.
The competition is organized upon request of a third party. The third party animates the competition, and communicates to its readers and viewers. The organizer cannot be held responsible for third party’s actions, statements, points of view and any other elements.
