This Could Be Your Lucky Break!

Hi there,

The first cut is coming up at the close of NY session today and that means action! Some traders are going to be over the moon while others will come crashing back down to earth.

If you’re in the top 50 and already completed the Compliance Phase you have nothing to worry about. Just keep in touch and have fun as you go through the process.

Most traders have already breezed through the first phases with ease, but those that haven’t completed the Compliance phase will be withdrawn by tomorrow.

That means that a spot in the top 20 opens up and the trader that is next in line will get a shot at hopping on board to trade one of our $1000 live trading accounts!

So if you finished anywhere in the top 70 at the end of the Demo Trading round, there is still a chance to get your turn up at bat. If you’re next in line you’ll be hearing from me soon! ;)

==========
Arbitro Lives!
==========

Even if you didn’t make it into a top position you can continue trading on the demo account you have been using throughout the demo round. Our crew will have the leaderboard up and running within the next couple of hours. Once we’re done, Arbitro will kick into gear and resume from where it left off.

Just remember to restart your platform and re-apply the EA if it does not authenticate straightaway.

Once you’re authenticated, you will find that your trading stats and the leaderboard are being updated once more. Then keep an eye out for our new site, it is going to blow your socks off!

I’ll send you more details as soon as we are ready to unveil the new site. I just know you are going to be blown away!

By this time tomorrow, we will cut the first batch of traders that do not make the cut, so stay tuned to see who gets knocked off the leaderboard and who rises to the challenge!

Happy Trading

Wesley Govender
Tournament Director

P.S. If you’re in the top 50, don’t stray too far from your mailbox tomorrow. Opportunity may come knocking! ;)

P.P.S. Outside the top 50? Bought when you should have sold? Zigged when you should have zagged? No need to worry, just keep on trading! All will be revealed soon!

Don’t Take Your Eyes Off This!

Last week, we asked you to continue trading your demo accounts as normal. We also told you that we will give you more news on something special we have lined up for you during this week.

Well, we just got a first glance at the new site we are planning on releasing soon, and it’s an absolute knockout!

If you went through the grind of the SFTCV3 Demo Round and finished outside the top 50, you might have thought that it was all over. Well, think again!

==============================
WE’RE GOING TO THROW YOU A LIFELINE!
==============================

Just keep on trading the demo account that you used during the Demo Trading round, and we will send you more information real soon!

The leaderboard has been frozen so you will get an “Authentication Failed” error message when you try to use the Arbitro EA on your MT4 platform. You may ignore that for now and continue trading. Our crew will have a new leaderboard up and running within
the next day or so, and normal service will resume.

I recorded a short video for you that will give you a little more information on this error and give you a brief update on how things are proceeding with the current competition at the moment, so check it out:

==================
CALLING ALL FINALISTS
==================

If you finished in the top 50 during the Demo round, I want to hear from you! The SFTCV3 Finalists’ area is buzzing with Forex traders that are pulling out all the stops to get their hands on a $1000 Live account.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, you better hurry! The first cut is looming on the horizon and you’d be kicking yourself if you let this chance slip! Make your way down here NOW:

If you are amongst the top 50 traders, you will see the LIVE ROUND banner (you will only see this banner if you have been granted access). If you see this banner, don’t waste another second. Hit that link and get started today!

Happy Trading

New Surefire Trading Challenge Format!

Hey everyone,

This is a very important email for anyone who has or wants to take part in our Surefire Trading  Challenge. There are some big changes about to
happen, but first let me tell you the two most important points:

#1 – I have drastically increased the prize money:

1st Place $15,000
2nd Place $10,000
3rd Place $5,000
4th Place $3,000
5th Place $1,000

#2 – If you make the cut I will let you trade one of my accounts live.

Let me explain. For the next competition we will have two rounds. In the first round everyone will download a demo version of MT4 with a $1,000 starting balance. At the end of that 30-day period the top 20 will go through to round 2.

In round 2 the top 20 will be given a $1,000 live account to trade. At the end of the next 30-day period the top 5 will be awarded the prizes.

If you happen to be one of the top 5 I will personally invite you to start trading with me.

This is going to be the most exciting competition we have ever had. There is $34,000 up for grabs and someone has to take it home.

This doesn’t cost a cent to take part and you could walk away with $15,000. That $15,000 could be the start of your trading profession.

Think about this…

- It costs nothing to download the demo account and take part.
- It costs nothing to trade one of my live accounts  with $1,000 in it.
- You could take home one of the $34,000 in prizes.

At no stage do you ever have to pay or buy anything, the upside is tremendous. This is seriously great fun guys.

The next competition will start on Monday 18th April, which is not far away. Right now you don’t  have to do a thing. As soon as we have the last few finishing touches done I will send you a link to register and download the demo account.

Good Trading
Mark McRae

P.S. This is probably the easiest way you will ever have to enter the Forex market. It’s basically a plan that is ready made for you. Watch out for my next email, this is going to be big and I want you to take part. Just watch that in-box…
