The championship will be held at the Intercontinental Hotel, Festival City on 11^th and 12^th September 2012. Over 1,000 traders based in the UAE will compete on demo accounts designed for traders to practice their trading skills with live streaming prices.

“We are delighted to be participating in this championship and wish all participants the best of luck. Traders who are not part of the championship but still wish to practice their trading strategies on the MetaTrader 4 demo trading platform can visit the official www.icmcapital.co.uk website and simply submit their details in the online form to apply for a demo account.
