Fair play and organizer discretion

Finam reserves the right to review, downgrade, or exclude any strategy whose behavior appears manipulative, operationally unrealistic, excessively noisy, unscalable, or otherwise inconsistent with the objectives of the competition.

Examples may include:

A strong headline return does not guarantee final selection.

ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR Consistent disciplined trading Realistic position sizing Stable week-over-week behavior Portfolio that reflects a serious mandate Standard profile for selection CONCERNING PATTERNS ! Exploiting simulator mechanics ! Dependence on unrealistic fills ! Extreme concentration vs league intent ! Patterns inconsistent with serious portfolio mgmt Subject to organizer review Finam may downgrade or exclude entries in the right column. Headline return is not enough on its own.
