Spec FX has announced the launch of its NFP Forecast Challenge, a recurring promotional campaign running from May 18, 2025, to June 30, 2026, built around the U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) release—one of the most closely watched economic indicators in global markets.
The promotion allows participants to submit forecasts on the short-term price behavior of XAUUSD (Gold/USD) at the time of the NFP release. Participants must predict both the price direction and a specific price value, with winners determined based on forecast accuracy.
How to Participate:
- Follow Spec FX on its official X (formerly Twitter) account or Facebook page
- Complete the NFP Forecast form by selecting:
- Price direction: Up, Down, or Doji
- Forecast price value formatted to two decimal places
- Forecasts may be edited up to one hour before the official NFP release
Reward Structure:
- 1st Prize: USD 88 (1 winner)
- 2nd Prize: USD 38 (2 winners)
- 3rd Prize: USD 18 (3 winners)
Evaluation Criteria and Mechanics:
- Forecasts are evaluated using the 1-minute XAUUSD candle at NFP release time
- Candle definitions:
- Bullish: Open price lower than Close price
- Bearish: Open price higher than Close price
- Doji: Open and Close prices are approximately equal
- Highest and lowest prices are determined using raw Bid prices from Spec FX chart data
- Evaluation applies to both ECN and Standard account clients
Prize Distribution and Conditions:
- Winners are notified by email within three business days
- Rewards are credited after successful KYC verification
- Verification and deposit must be completed within 72 hours, otherwise rewards will be forfeited
- Spec FX reserves the right to revoke rewards in cases of ineligible participation or rule violations
