Catchnex Runs $1.75 Million Copy Competition, Ranking Traders by Verified ROI

Oct 2, 2026

San Jose, Costa Rica, October 2, 2026 -- The top three eligible traders can receive $1,000,000, $500,000 and $250,000 in a contest that runs to December 24, 2026

Catchnex, a copy trading platform, is running a Copy Competition with a $1,750,000 prize pool for eligible traders. The contest began on September 1 and ends on December 24, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Traders who apply through Catchnex are ranked by verified return on investment (ROI), and the top three share the prizes.

The first-place trader can receive $1,000,000. Second place can receive $500,000, and third place $250,000. Prizes go to the eligible traders with the highest verified ROI over the competition period. Catchnex calls the prize pool indicative. Prizes are paid after results are verified, and the amount is not held, guaranteed or escrowed.

How traders enter

Entry runs through the Catchnex Copy Trader program. A trader applies with a strategy. Once that strategy is available on Catchnex Copy Trading, the trader is eligible to take part. Followers can then copy the strategy on the platform.

Six rules decide who can win

Catchnex kept the headline rules short and public. Each participant must fund the competition account with at least $500 of their own capital. Bonus and credit funds do not count. Traders must complete at least 20 closed trades across at least 10 active trading days. Each person may hold one competition account. Resets, multiple entries and coordinated trading between related accounts are not allowed.

Ranking uses ROI earned during the competition period only. The leaderboard refreshes daily at 00:05 UTC, but those standings are provisional. Maximum drawdown is measured for every participant and published next to ROI. It is also the first tie-break. Winners must pass identity verification, and Catchnex checks results against platform records before any prize is paid.

The format is built around one clear measure. Traders know exactly what decides the ranking. Drawdown is published beside ROI, which gives the public more data to judge a strategy.

Scored on the live platform

The competition is scored on the same Catchnex platform that clients use every day. Each trader card shows ROI, win rate and follower count. Markets include forex, metals, indices and crypto. A live countdown on the competition page shows the time left.

The official rules run to 20 sections. They cover eligibility, jurisdiction, prohibited conduct and disqualification, among other topics. The rules are published in English, and the English version prevails over any translation. Catchnex may disqualify any participant who breaches them.

Eligibility and risk

Catchnex does not offer services to residents or citizens of the United States or Russia, to residents of Costa Rica, or to jurisdictions under international sanctions. Applicants should confirm they may legally take part where they live.

Trading CFDs, crypto and other leveraged products carries a high level of risk. Leverage magnifies gains and losses, and traders may lose more than their initial deposit. The competition is not investment advice and does not encourage higher risk. Copying a trader does not guarantee similar results. Past performance does not predict future results.

Where to apply

Step inside this healing spot inside Civilian Control Line in Paju

“Please prepare for a brief security check.” As the bus doors open, a soldier in combat gear boards and collects the identification cards of each passenger. The soldier looks to be in his early 20s, but the scene, reminiscent of something from a movie, is enough to make passengers slightly tense. After collecting all the IDs from the roughly 10 passengers, the soldier gets off the bus. “The IDs will be returned when we come back,” the guide explains, putting everyone at ease again. This is a checkpoint on the Civilian Control Line, the northernmost point that civilians can freely travel to. If you see a chartered bus crossing the line into the Civilian Control Zone and assume that the passengers are taking part in a security tour or academic research, you would be wrong. They are vacationers. They are heading into the forest beyond the Civilian Control Line to relax and recharge — walking on moss, picking up fresh chestnuts and meditating to the sounds of insects and birds. A new opportunity is opening for individuals to visit the Civilian Control Zone for leisure, a place that h

From chestnuts to oysters, quirky souvenir shirts become must-haves for Korea travelers

For visitors heading to Gongju, a city in South Chungcheong Province known as the country's chestnut capital, a new travel tradition has taken hold — buying a chestnut souvenir shirt at Gongju Sanseong Market and wearing it immediately while exploring the area. The shirt features a plump chestnut character printed across the front. It captures the local identity and is a playful nod to the word "bamti," an online meme referring to an unflattering look. After launching in May, the design went viral on social media within a month and now sells more than 1,000 shirts a day on weekends. "So many tourists walk around downtown wearing the shirt that local residents sometimes ask them where to buy it and then visit the market to get their own," said Lee Tae-hee, head of Jeil Yutong and creator of the apparel. "Customers have fun wearing it, and other market vendors have been supportive because the shirt draws more foot traffic." Diversifying domestic travel beyond food tours Regional souvenir shirts that playfully celebrate local culture are breathing new life into domestic travel. Travelers

Solar prints, high-shine hues, boxy looks stride down runway

Group fashion shows in the past often came across like an unspoken competition among the participating designers. The more flamboyant and outré the outfits, the better. Long-time fashion watchers might recall how veteran designer Frederick Peralta once presented an all-giraffe print collection punctuated with heavy, organic-looking jewelry. Although there were others who presented pocket collections before and after him that evening, all anyone remembers was his safari-inspired set. In group shows now, designers have become more introspective, more deliberate. They are grateful for the chance to come up with collections that distill their aesthetic and show where they’re headed. Designers who are invited by Bench to present at the biannual Bench Fashion Week (BFW) see it as an opportunity that is not to be taken lightly. For the holiday edition of BFW 2026 held Sept. 26 and 27, Cebu-based designer Edwin Ao turned street photos he had taken with his phone into a series of deconstructed looks that still managed to highlight expert tailoring. Ao is credited for being one of the designers who updated the look of the barong Tagalog by embroidering playful graffiti on it instead of resorting to the traditional designs. The long-time designer used to work with Arcy Gayatin, another Cebu designer, on clubwear looks popular during the early 2000s. He then worked with academe for close to two decades before becoming a faculty member under the product design program at the University of the Philippines Cebu. In an interview with The Manila Times prior to the show, he said he experimented with solar dyeing and rust techniques for his collection. Dubbed “Chlorophyll Hexagons: The Body in Impermanence,” it features separates with exposed stitching and unfinished hems. He embellished a vest and asymmetrically cut skirt with a mix of matte and shiny buttons that looked like paillettes from a distance. “[But] central to the collection is solar printing, where sunlight and chlorophyll become agents of imprint and change,” Ao wrote in his show notes. TernoCon 2025 Gawad Pura Escurdia award winner Bryan Peralta veered away from the structure required of the terno and came up with billowing, color-drenched pieces. There were unlined trenches and blousy pants made with parachute-like taffeta. He also played around with proportion — short, kicky outfits under those large, jewel-toned jackets. His collection, “The Golden Record,” was inspired by the 1977 NASA Voyager space probes that housed golden discs. Each disc contained recorded sounds and images of Earth that the space agency hoped would connect with extraterrestrial life. Peralta said his “boldly optimistic color palette... is a celebration of dressing up and proudly wearing your curiosities on your sleeve.” Reese de Guzman of R. Studios was inspired by Picasso’s 1957 Pigeon series and came up with a collection that ranged from oversized blazers and jackets to feathered tops and draped skirts. In her show notes, she described her “Paloma” collection as “a playful mix of colors, draped silhouettes, and unconventional textiles.” There were a few tweeds and tops with feathered fringe with many of the pieces sharing a boxy look. Even a vest that is usually worn snug was manipulated to hover just over the shoulders. “[It’s] a breath of fresh air and the idea of fleeting times,” de Guzman said in her show notes.

Longchamp names Jung So-min as its South Korean ambassador

Longchamp names Jung So-min as its South Korean ambassador

French fashion house Longchamp has named South Korean actress Jung So-min its new local ambassador, citing her independent spirit, personal style and positive energy as qualities that reflect the brand’s values. Jung has appeared in Korean dramas across several genres, including the fantasy and historical series “Alchemy of Souls,” the romantic comedy “Love Next Door” and, more recently, “Would You Marry Me?” She also has two dramas lined up for 2027, including “The Dealer.” Beyond her acting projects, Jung regularly shares glimpses of her life and work on Instagram through @somin_jj. Longchamp noted that her personality and distinctive style have helped her connect with audiences and build a following beyond South Korea. The family-owned fashion house said Jung reflects the modernity and creativity it seeks to express through its collections. As an ambassador, she will bring her perspective to the brand and interpret its optimistic spirit in her own way. “We are thrilled to welcome Jung So-min to the Longchamp family,” said Sophie Delafontaine, Longchamp artistic director. “Longchamp is a Maison (fashion house) always on the move, looking out into the world and embracing whatever unfolds along the way. Jung So-min embodies that same spirit. She follows her instincts wherever they may lead, with elegance, curiosity and a sense of freshness.” The appointment brings Jung into Longchamp’s family of ambassadors, with the brand drawing a connection between her approach to her career and its openness to new experiences. Delafontaine pointed to the actress’s instinctive choices and curiosity as qualities shared by the fashion house. Jung, for her part, welcomed the opportunity to work with the French brand. “I am delighted and honored to join French fashion house Longchamp as its ambassador. I look forward to embarking on an exciting journey with Longchamp, a Maison that embodies authenticity, energy and the spirit of Paris,” she said.

Healthy nails beneath the holiday sparkle

Healthy nails beneath the holiday sparkle

As holiday parties and reunions approach, nail art offers another way to complete a festive look. Gel polish, dip powder, acrylic extensions, magnetic designs and embellishments have expanded the options beyond French tips and glossy colors. But beneath the colors, chrome accents and gemstone flowers, natural nails still need care, Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) reminds beauty enthusiasts. “What may look pretty on the surface may be covering an entirely different story underneath. Our nails can provide us with clues and hints about our health as a whole,” said dermatologist Sharon Osmena Lim. Changes in nail color, texture, shape and strength can point to nutritional deficiencies, infections and possibly cancer, she explained, and may require further attention. Healthy nails feel smooth and strong and appear uniformly pink with white tips. Unusual changes should not be overlooked. Brittleness or easy breakage may have several causes, including poor nutrition, fad diets, decreased circulation or trauma from excessive manipulation during manicures and pedicures. Exposure to harmful chemicals, including those in nail polish and cuticle removers, can also contribute to brittle, discolored nails. Lim also cautioned against excessive removal of the nail, traumatic removal of ingrown nails and excessive trimming of the cuticle, which protects the nails. Yellowish or discolored nails may result from polish stains but can also signal a fungal infection. Horizontal ridges, known as Beau’s lines, may follow illness or injury, while dents or pits may be linked to skin conditions such as psoriasis. Changes in color or thickness, swelling of a finger or toe, separation of the nail from its bed and pain require medical evaluation, particularly when symptoms worsen or persist, Lim said. This is especially important for people with diabetes, kidney disease and other conditions affecting wound healing. Nail changes may also be related to anemia, thyroid problems and circulation issues. “While we cannot diagnose a health issue just by basing it on the changes in one’s nail appearance, it can serve as a starting point for further assessment by a medical professional,” she said. Regular gel manicures and nail art can also affect nail health. Lim cited chemicals in nail products, exposure to UV curing lamps and the application and removal of extensions and gems as factors that can weaken the natural nail plate over time. Care should extend beyond salon appointments. She advised keeping nails clean and dry because bacteria and fungi thrive in moist environments. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and dry hands after exposure to water or chemicals. Lim also advised avoiding frequent hand-washing, nail-biting and picking, and using nails to open hard containers. Wear gloves when handling chemicals. Finally, she recommended giving nails time without polish and treatments. “Give your nails a break from all the buffing and chemical and UV exposure. Allotting recovery time after treatments can reduce risks of long-term damage that may be harder to reverse – or worse, cause permanent damage.” For those who enjoy designs, that recovery time is part of caring for the natural nails beneath the artwork.
