Dukascopy community is like a family for me, some days I spent more time here than with my family. As happen in every family, we help each other, we compete with each other, we fight, we complain but everything in right spirit. Thanks Dukascopy for such a wonderful community.

I can say for sure this is a great success and not possible with out the hard-work of the dukas-team. I have witnessed the transformation from the very first "strategy contest"(without the DFC) in old format and this is truly remarkable. . great going.kudos and cheers

Developer's blog: Post #3, (update 1.9.6)

Dear community Members,we have just released two new products for public test. This is the long expected Fundamental Analysis Contest and the Social Lottery.Fundamental Analysis ContestWhat will happen there? Let me just quote the rules:"Every week a set of most influential news will be open for predictions. Participants are allowed to make as many bets per week as they want. When prediction has been made it's impossible to modify or delete your comment. By default, contest period is 1 week. All

To take the above idea and continue my argument here are Top 5 Contestants would fair out if above rules are applied. (C stands for Correct and I stands for Incorrect) 1. 18 C - 14 I - W% = 56.25% --- 2. 14 C - 18 I - W% = 43.75% --- 3. 18 C - 15 I - W% = 54.54% --- 4. 17 C - 14 I - W% = 54.83% --- 5. 15 C - 20 I - W% = 42.85%. If you notice out of these contestants 2 of the contestants Win Rate Ratio is less than 50% which means they have more incorrect than correct and as such they should not be allocated any Dukascopy Points out of those 40 Points suggested.

So, Contestant number 1 should be allocated 40 Points - Contestant number 2 should be allocated 0 Points. Contestant number 3 should be allocated 35 Points. Contestant number 4 should be allocated 34 Points. Contestant number 5 should be allocated 0 Points.

The remaining 40 Points could be given based on traders detailed analysis and comments and that has nothing to do with correct predictions, but a fair analysis and traders ability to assess news impact on longer term.

Well, actually I agree with alifari: I mean, contestants should have at least a minimum 1 prediction x day, and end the week with a W/L ratio > 50% so at least 3 correct and 2 incorrect, before considering any further point. Furthermore in my opinion the losing predictions cut way too much points! Definetly if one has more winnings than losings, and a good analysis, can't finish in lower ranking because of less "like". Nothing to say with last week's results!! I mean.. something to think about for the future! Thank you

I agree that 2 predictions is to low, coz I can easly chose 2 firm events durng a week. However it shouldn't be depended from every day prediction. Lets make 3 maybe 4 preditcions during a week regardless of the day.

Is this function working because I didn't received notification when the user I follow updated a blog. "Moreover, the users that follow you see notifications that you have a blog record. It is also displayed in your activity log".
