A demo contest suits several types of trader. New traders can practise on MT5 with no financial risk. Experienced traders can test a strategy under competitive pressure.

Because the starting balance is virtual, nobody needs to fund an account to enter. Still, eligibility rules apply, so check the official terms to confirm you can take part from your country.

Withdraw your prize in full and use it however you like.

Skill Arena Demo Contest prize breakdown

Ten places win a cash prize. Here is the full list:

1st place: 1,000 USD
2nd place: 500 USD
3rd place: 200 USD
4th place: 100 USD
5th place: 50 USD
6th place: 50 USD
7th place: 50 USD
8th place: 50 USD
9th place: 50 USD
10th place: 50 USD

The first place prize is by far the largest. Finishing in the top four brings the biggest rewards, while places five to ten share equal prizes.

In other words, a top-ten finish is worth the same from fifth to tenth place. You do not have to win to be rewarded.

What the contest rewards

The goal is simple. Traders compete to post the best results during the contest period. The strongest performers rise in the rankings, and the top finishers share the prize pool.

As a result, the contest rewards trading skill, strategy and steady performance in a risk-free setting.

The exact way results are measured is set by the organiser. Read the official rules to see how the leaderboard ranks traders before you place a trade.

Tips for a demo contest

Read the official rules first. Check how the leaderboard ranks traders.
Set a clear plan before you place your first trade.
Remember that 1:500 leverage magnifies losses as well as gains. A balanced approach may help you stay on the board.
Track the dates. Trades made outside the trading period may not count.
Register early rather than waiting for the last day, so you can fix any set-up problems.

These are general tips, not guarantees. Demo results do not predict how you would trade with real money, where emotions and costs can change the outcome.
