Nadin, it shouldn't be the point. After following it for 2 months, if you want to do it right, you should know to analyze on the weekend the results of previous news, have an idea of the market reaction and give your prediction. I usually give predictions till tuesday, then follow the market and give predictions according to news coming - sometimes it's good, sometimes horrible, like last week. Maybe sleeping in front of the screen is the way to win this task, but not the competition on a weekly basis

Thanks Nick , about Dukascopy Points you will evaluate the quality of blogs,photos and videos, in three columns for example blogs 100 points, photo 50 points, video 80 points or in one total ...?

Nick_T 17 Oct.

Total. Just what we think about this particular participant on the scale of 0 to 100, any number we believe is right. We've been monitoring this contest for a very long time, many people in Dukascopy team have their impressions about the contest and participants.

Using bought likes for boosting your rating

Nick_T Posted 10 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Ban
Greetings, dear participants of Miss Dukascopy.
Another round of checking how fairly you, lovely ladies, compete has shown that some of you may have used resources that exchange likes or allow you to buy likes online.
Please note that such likes are not interesting for us. We monitor all unusual deviations in like count from the norm. A closer investigation showed that user Natalya has been using such an approach to push herself to the top10. She is disqualified from the contest and banned perma…

Есть еще vbif. Фактов достаточно, в том то и дело. Десятки профилей, которые лайкают один и тот же контент. Следовательно они созданы для подобных голосований.

I must admit I was getting very desperate and frustrated seeing all those thousand of likes on the pictures coming from nowhere when there was no correlation between the number of followers and picture likes. Every like feels like a battle and a victory to me and for some others it appears so easy....But.......we will battle on.......:-)
