On April 9, 2026, Bali became the stage for something rarely seen in trading.
Screens lit up. Markets moved.
For the first time, trading stepped fully into the spotlight.
D Prime officially launched the #DooTrader International Cup 2026: The Island Showdown, bringing together 30 elite traders from China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Pakistan to compete live on-site with real capital.
There are no delays. No filters.
Every decision unfolds in real time.
What is usually private becomes public.
What is usually controlled becomes unpredictable.
From the very first minute, the pressure is unmistakable.
A Strong Opening Victory: China’s Trader X Advances to the Final with a 273.65% Return Using an Ultra-Short-Term EA Quantitative Trading Strategy
#DooTrader International Cup 2026 — Five Nations. One Live Trading Stage in Bali
In today’s preliminary session from 15:00 to 16:00, nearly all 30 top traders from the five participating countries locked onto their preferred instrument – gold, making XAUUSD the absolute battlefield of the round.
First Half: Pakistan’s Faiqforex Demonstrates a High Risk-Reward Approach with a 1:4 Ratio
Faiqforex’s trading recap:
In the first half of the competition, Pakistan’s Faiqforex did not enter the market blindly. Instead, when gold prices showed an oversold rebound signal on the 1-minute chart around 15:15, he seized the opportunity and captured a short-term recovery move. That single trade brought in as much as $709 in profit, quickly pushing his net gains to around $1,300 and putting him in the lead with a 72.67% return.
After establishing an early advantage, Faiqforex shifted to a more conservative approach, seemingly aiming to protect his gains. However, as the competition entered its final stage, this cautious strategy was soon overtaken by the aggressive position-building of the trailing traders.
Second Half: China’s Trader X Seizes the Final Moments and Makes a Dramatic Comeback with Short-Sell Positions
The situation on the floor changed dramatically in the last ten minutes, and trader Trader X fully leveraged the strengths of his ultra-short-term EA quantitative strategy.
Trader X’s trading recap:
Before the competition ended, Trader X placed eight consecutive gold short orders within just 3 seconds, rapidly amplifying his profit leverage. This “fast in, fast out” strategy has tremendous room to perform in a low-volatility, range-bound gold market, with a win rate of nearly 80–90% — truly fast and precise.
With each wave locking in approximately $300–$330 in steady profit, Trader X’s account balance quickly climbed to $7,500. In the end, he advanced to the final with an outstanding 273.65% return!
DooTrader: A Battle of Honor Among Trading Elites from Five Countries – 60 Minutes That Defined the Field
There was no second round. No adjustment phase.
Each trader had 60 minutes to perform.
When time ended, the leaderboard did more than rank results.
It determined who moves forward, and who must fight to stay in.
First Place Secures Direct Entry to the Grand Final
Trader X, who ranked 1st in the preliminaries, fully leveraged the advantages of his ultra-short-term EA quantitative trading strategy and finished the round with a stunning 273.65% return, standing far ahead of the field. He will skip all subsequent stages and secure his place directly in the grand final.
While others continue to compete, this trader now holds a key advantage
time to reset, observe, and prepare for the final stage.
The Premier Group Takes Shape
Following closely behind, the traders ranked 2nd to 6th — Farahalil (China), Faiqforex (Pakistan), Victor (China), Nitin (India), and HIRO FX YOUTUBER (Japan) — have successfully advanced to the Semifinal Elite Group.
Compared with the breakout group, the Elite Group has more room to survive and compete. In the upcoming rounds, the Elite Group will produce 3 spots for advancement to the grand final, while the breakout group will have only 1 spot available.
Midnight Redemption: The Turning Point
For those outside the top ranks, the competition continues under greater pressure.
They now enter the Midnight Comeback Round, where only the strongest will move forward.
Tonight, eight traders will earn their way back into the main stage.
Bali does not sleep tonight.
At 21:00, the redemption round begins.
By tomorrow, the outcome will be clear.
The Final Showdown Begins on April 10
With the preliminary round complete, attention turns to the final stage.
