Trade.io has been blazing new trails in the crypto community. A few weeks back, Trade.io organized a competition in which traders bagged home a whopping $130,000 worth of KTOS tokens - what joy can be compared to earning prizes for doing what you would have still done for free? I have been trading on many platforms before now, and I have not been rewarded with additional tokens for trading, but Trade.io has brought another mouth-watering competition where traders will go home with 5BTC - can you get such an offer any other place?
ABOUT THE COMPETITION
First of all, you will be glad to know that Trade.io has listed some more cryptocurrencies (EOS, NEO, and GRIN) which will be traded against BTC and other pairs. This competition was set up as a way of rewarding users (who are traders) for using the services provided by Trade.io. The competition started on the 18th of February and it is set to run till 28th of February; it is open to both new and existing traders, so it is not too late to join the train.
The good thing about this competition is the fact that it is not limited to just the newly listed cryptocurrencies, but with any other trading pair of your choice, where the grand prize winner will take home 1.5BTC, and others will have a share of the remaining 3.5BTC. I will be surprised if some people are yet to sign into Trade.io portal. Well, for those that missed the first competition, you will not want to miss this opportunity again
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS COMPETITION
The terms and conditions are so easy and simplified, but firstly, you will need to sign up to the Trade.io exchange portal if you have not already done that (I have done mine; and you can see my trading interface from the image on the right). After the sign up, you are expected to have a minimum balance of 0.1BTC (which can also be in its equivalent in other currencies). Your trading volumes should also surpass 500USD; well, that will not be a problem for someone starting with a minimum balance of 0.1BTC. The winners will be selected on the basis of the volumes traded - the highest trader will automatically be the grand prize winner of 1.5BTC.
The calculation of the highest trader will be done on the basis of both the percentage turnover score and the volume turnover score. The percentage turnover score will be calculated by the number of times you were able to grow your residual trading balance (in BTC). For example; if you started with 1BTC and you were able to have a turnover of 2BTC, you have made exactly 100% turnover, and this is one point for you. The volume turnover score looks similar, but it is on the basis of trade limits. for example; if your highest trade is 1BTC and no one else got this volume, then you have scored one point. For the final analysis; your end score will be a multiple of your percentage turnover score and your volume turnover score. Alternatively, you can check your position and progress from the leaderboard. Even if you are not the grand prize winner, you still stand a chance of winning other prizes.
Here's a tabular breakdown of the prizes for each position
| Ranking | Prize to be won |
|---|---|
| 1st Position | 1.5BTC |
| 2nd Position | 0.7BTC |
| 3rd Position | 0.3BTC |
| 4th - 9th Position | 0.15BTC each |
| 10th - 20th Position | 0.10BTC each |
| Random 30 draws | 0.5BTC (to be shared among them) |
