Predict the figure and win $500!
Ready for a challenge? Join the NFP Machine contest and put your market instinct to the test. You could win a cash prize of up to $500.
The highly anticipated US Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report is usually released on the first Friday of every month. Its release often causes significant shifts in the markets, making it a crucial event for traders. Now’s your chance to turn your prediction into a potential reward.
How the contest works
Each NFP week, your goal is to guess the EURUSD price once the payrolls data is released.
During NFP week, submit your EURUSD price prediction here. Entries are open until 30 minutes before the NFP release.
When the NFP data is released, we take the EURUSD price at 09:00 New York time and share on our Facebook page the next working day.
If you guess the exact price, you win $500. If there’s no exact match, the three closest predictions can still win up to $250. All winners are announced on our Facebook page.

Join the contest“Tickmill’s NFP Machine Contest” (hereby referred to as “Contest”) is available only to new and existing clients of Tickmill Ltd, (FSA regulated), who have a live trading account (hereby referred to as “Participants”).
The Contest started on May 30, 2016, at 00:00 (MT4/MT5 server time) and has no set end date, unless Tickmill determines otherwise.
The Contest takes place on the Woobox platform and is announced on Tickmill’s official Facebook page during the first week of every month.
Participants must predict the price of a specified instrument on Tickmill’s MT4/MT5 platform exactly 30 minutes after the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report release at 16:00 MT4/MT5 server time. The chosen instrument for each month will be announced on Tickmill’s official Facebook page.
Participants must submit their prediction and email address used when registering with Tickmill on the Woobox platform by Friday 15:00 MT4/MT5 server time during the week of the NFP report release.
Only one prediction per participant is allowed. If multiple predictions are submitted, only the latest one will be considered.
The participant(s) who guess the exact price of the specified instrument will receive a $500 cash prize credited to their wallet.
If no participant guesses the exact price, the 3 participants with the closest predictions will receive the following cash prizes credited to their wallets:
1st place: $250
2nd place: $150
3rd place: $100
If there is more than one participant with the same closest prediction for any position, the prize will be awarded to the participant who submitted their prediction first.
A participant can only win a cash prize once for the entire Contest and is not eligible to win in any future months but may continue to participate every month. In case a participant wins a second or more times during the contest, the participant(s) with the next closest prediction will be entitled to win the applicable cash prize if they are eligible.
The winners are announced by 17:30 MT4/MT5 server time on the first Friday of each month on Tickmill’s official Facebook page.
The top prize winner of each month (either the $500 or the $250 winner, if no one guesses the exact price) agrees that their first name will be posted on the ‘Hall of Fame’ on the Contest’s page.
The winners will be contacted via the email used to register with Tickmill within 3 calendar days from the date of the winner announcement.
The prize is credited to the winners’ wallets as a withdrawable bonus.
To withdraw the prize, a winner must trade at least 1 standard lot for every $3 of the prize. Only trading volume in currency pairs, metals, BTCUSD, US30, USTEC and DE40 are accounted for to calculate the trading volume for the NFP Campaign while all other CFDs are excluded.
Due to the 1 lot notional value of US30, DE40 and USTEC, only 0.25 of 1 lot positions are counted.
For example, if a client has traded 1 lot of BTCUSD, 3 lots of EURUSD, 0.5 lots of Gold, 15 lots of US30, then it would be calculated the following way: 1+3+0.5+15*(0.25) =8.25 lots
Prize transfers between different currency wallets are not allowed.
If, in the past, a winner has won multiple times and received multiple bonuses in one wallet, then the lot requirements for all received prizes must be met.
Winners are eligible to receive the prizes only in their own wallets.
