New Year Draw of the Super Lottery 2024: Another $60,000 Won

Since 2021, NordFX has been holding an annual Super Lottery with an impressive prize fund of $100,000. This campaign offers clients an excellent opportunity to improve their financial standing by winning one or even several significant cash prizes. Participation was entirely free – all that was required was meeting a few simple conditions.

This year's Super Lottery was held under the slogan Your 202+4 Chances to Win in 2024. The lottery began ten months ago on 8 March, and the dates of all three draws coincided with this auspicious number. The first draw took place on 8 July, the second on 8 October, and finally, the grand finale occurred on 8 January of the new year, 2025. As always, the draws were conducted online, allowing everyone interested to follow the process via the internet. Those who missed it can watch the recordings on NordFX's official YouTube channel.

In the final New Year draw, 94 prizes totalling $60,000 were awarded: 60 prizes of $250 each, 10 prizes of $500 each, 10 prizes of $750 each, 10 prizes of $1,250 each, and 4 super prizes of $5,000 each. 

In accordance with the rules, the prize money can be used by lottery winners for trading or withdrawn from their accounts at any time through any of the available methods, without any restrictions.

As we conclude our Super Lottery, we would like to congratulate all participants and all NordFX clients on the New Year. May luck accompany you throughout 2025. Wishing you and your loved ones happiness, health, and prosperity!

Super Lottery-2024: Another 56 NordFX Clients Became Owners of $20,000

On Tuesday, October 8, the second draw of the Super Lottery held by the brokerage company NordFX in 2024 took place. As always, it was held online, and anyone could follow the progress of the prize draw on the internet. The video recording of the draw is now available on the company's official YouTube channel.

In Draw No.2, tickets awarded to NordFX clients from March 8 to September 30, 2024 (except those that won in Draw No.1) participated. A total of 56 prizes were awarded, amounting to $20,000. 

According to the rules, prize funds can be used by the lottery winner for trading or withdrawn from the account at any time using any of the available methods without any restrictions.

The next draw, with a prize pool of not just $20,000 but a whopping $60,000, will take place on January 8, 2025 (tickets awarded between March 8 and December 31, 2024, are eligible).

In many countries, the number 8 is considered lucky and promises prosperity. Perhaps luck will smile on you on this January day as well. You can become a participant in the lottery and get chances to win one or even several cash prizes, including 4 super prizes of $5,000, at any time. All you need is an MT4 Pro account with NordFX (if you don't have one – register and open a new account), top it up with $200, and... simply trade. By making a trading turnover of just 2 lots on Forex currency pairs or gold (or 4 lots on silver), you will automatically receive a virtual lottery ticket. The number of such tickets for each participant is unlimited. The more deposits and the higher the turnover, the more lottery tickets you will accumulate in your "piggy bank," and accordingly, the higher your chances of becoming one of the winners. All the details can be found on the NordFX website www.NordFX.com.

Top 3 NordFX Traders Earned Over $60,000 in September

The brokerage company NordFX has summarised the trading performance of its clients for September 2024. Additionally, the social trading services and the profits earned by the company’s IB partners were evaluated.

● The highest profit in the first month of autumn was earned by a client from Southeast Asia, account No. 1509XXX. Using the major pair EUR/USD, they managed to make 26,664 USD. 

– The second place on the September podium was taken by a trader from East Asia (account No. 1543XXX), who earned 17,477 USD through trading the gold pair XAU/USD. 

– Precious metals also benefited a representative from South Asia (account No. 1767XXX), who entered the TOP-3 in September with a profit of 16,603 USD.  

● In CopyTrading, we continue to monitor the signal Quiet_trade_USD. It started at the very end of February this year and has been showing steady growth ever since. The profit for this signal is approaching 17%, which is several times higher than the interest rates on bank deposits in USD. Regarding the drawdown, there was a slight "dip" of 15.4% almost at the start, on 3rd April, which the signal's author successfully managed. Since then, the drawdown has not exceeded 5%. Of course, it is important to remind that past performance does not guarantee future results. Therefore, as always, we urge investors to exercise maximum caution when investing their money.

● The TOP-3 IB partners of NordFX in September are as follows: 

– The highest commission, 25,113 USD, was awarded to a partner from South Asia, account No. 1678XXX. It is worth noting that this partner periodically ranks among the top three. For example, last month, they secured 2nd place with a result of 27,244 USD.

– Second place was taken by their fellow countryman (account No. 1576XXX), who earned 18,935 USD.

– Finally, closing the TOP-3 is another partner from South Asia (account No. 1593XXX), who received 14,467 USD as a reward.
