Overview of the HeroFX Demo Trading Contest

The HeroFX Demo Trading Contest is a recurring, risk-free trading competition where traders use virtual funds on a
demo account but compete for real funded accounts called Hero10X.

Each round, participants trade with a $10,000 demo balance and aim to achieve the highest percentage gain in
equity during the contest week. There is no deposit required to join, making it a great way to test HeroFX,
their platforms, and your own strategies without risking real money.

The contest is designed as “No risk. Real rewards.” — you trade on demo, but the top 10 traders at the end of each
round win real Hero10X live accounts with funded trading capital.

Contest Structure, Duration & Platforms

According to the official contest page, each HeroFX Demo Trading Contest round follows this structure: Duration: 1 week per round, from Sunday 5PM EST to Friday 5PM EST.

• Frequency: New round every two weeks (1 competition week followed by 1 pause week).
• Account balance: Each participant starts with $10,000 demo funds.
• Reset: The same “Demo Contest” account is used every round and is automatically reset to $10,000 before each new round.

HeroFX uses two different platforms depending on your region:

• U.S. clients: Trade the contest using TradeLocker.
• Non-U.S. clients: Trade the contest using MetaTrader 5 (MT5).

All contest accounts share the same trading conditions: standard spreads, zero commission and a unified environment for
fair competition.

Prizes: Win Real Hero10X Accounts

HeroFX doesn’t pay cash directly for this contest. Instead, winners receive Hero10X funded accounts with real trading
capital based on their final ranking.

After the contest week ends, the final leaderboard displays the winners, and all winners are also featured on the official HeroFX
Instagram channel. Hero10X prizes are credited to the winners’ backoffice accounts within a few days.

The HeroFX Demo Trading Contest is open to new and existing clients of HeroFX who meet the minimum age requirement
(usually 18+ or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction).

Trading Rules, Ranking & Conditions

Ranking Method

All traders start with $10,000 equity. Your final rank is based on the percentage gain you achieve by
the end of the contest week:

• Equity $11,000 → +10% gain
• Equity $50,000 → +400% gain
• Equity $9,000 → 0% gain displayed (only positive performance is shown)

The top 10 participants with the highest percentage gains are declared winners and receive Hero10X prizes according to their position.

Trading Rules & Allowed Strategies

• Manual trading only: Orders must be placed by you. No EAs, bots, trade copiers, APIs or scripts are allowed.
• Fair strategies only: Arbitrage, quote abuse, coordinated/group trading, or other non-market-conforming tactics can lead to disqualification.
• Standard conditions: All contest accounts share the same spreads and zero commissions for fairness.
• Active round only: Trading is enabled on the Demo Contest account only during active rounds. If you see “trading disabled”, it usually means there is no contest running.

Risk Warning

Although the HeroFX Demo Trading Contest uses virtual funds and involves no financial risk while you participate, trading Forex and
CFDs in a live account is highly speculative and carries a significant risk of loss. Leverage can work for or against you, and you may
lose more than your initial investment. This article is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute
investment advice or a recommendation to open an account or join any contest. Before trading live or using funded accounts, carefully
review HeroFX’s official Risk Disclosure, Terms & Conditions, and the full
Demo Contest Terms.
