Tickmill has announced the winners of its latest Global Trading Challenge, a worldwide competition that ran throughout March and April 2026, attracting traders from across international markets to compete for a share of the $30,000 prize pool.
The challenge unfolded during one of the most active trading periods of the year so far, with global markets experiencing sharp moves across multiple asset classes. Traders navigated significant swings in oil prices driven by geopolitical developments and shifting demand expectations, while several major indices pushed towards fresh record highs amid renewed momentum in technology and AI-linked stocks. At the same time, ongoing uncertainty around inflation and central bank policy continued to fuel volatility across forex and commodities markets.
Against this backdrop, participants were challenged to demonstrate discipline, adaptability, and risk management in fast-moving live-market conditions.
The competition recognised traders who achieved the highest ROI during the challenge period, highlighting consistent performance across multiple asset classes and market conditions.
After weeks of intense competition, 10 traders emerged as winners, reflecting the broad global reach and diversity of Tickmill’s trading community, with strong participation seen across emerging and established trading markets alike in regions including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Here are the top three winners:
1st place: $12,000 | Phuong Nguyen Thi Mai
2nd place: $8,000 | Iretomiwa Arnold Adedeji
3rd place: $5,000 | Alejandro Gomez Espinoza Martinez
All prizes are fully withdrawable, reflecting Tickmill’s continued commitment to transparency, fairness, and rewarding trading excellence.
The Global Trading Challenge was created to bring together Tickmill’s global trading community in a competitive live-market environment, giving both existing and new clients the opportunity to test their strategies, compare performance, and engage with fellow traders during a period of heightened market activity. The competition highlighted the shared passion, discipline, and market focus that continue to define the Tickmill trading community worldwide.
We would like to thank the thousands of traders who took part in this year’s challenge” commented Group Director of Trading & Liquidity Johnny Khalil. “The March-to-April trading period delivered significant market opportunities as well as challenges across several asset classes, and it was impressive to see participants navigate those conditions with such skill and discipline. Competitions like this continue to showcase the depth and diversity of the global Tickmill trading community, and we look forward to bringing more exciting initiatives to traders throughout the year.
