Join the Headway Ramadan Kareem Trading Contest: Rules, Prizes and Charity

The Headway Ramadan Kareem trading contest is a seasonal promotion that rewards active trading with daily prizes and links every standard lot traded to a charitable donation. The format is simple: make a small deposit, trade at least 0.1 lot on a given day to appear on that day's leaderboard, and you can be considered for cash prizes. This guide explains how the contest works, what the prizes look like in practice, how the charity element fits in, and what to check before you take part.

One point to keep in mind from the start: the campaign is tied to Ramadan, and Ramadan falls at a different time each year. As of November 4, 2026, this year's observance has already passed. Treat the contest as closed unless Headway confirms a new run on its official site. The rules below describe the promotion as it was published, so use them as a reference for how the structure works and verify the current terms before acting on any detail.

What the Headway Ramadan Kareem Trading Contest Offers

The contest is built around daily competition. Headway's promotion describes a daily challenge with rewards of up to $1,000 per day. Before you plan around that figure, note that the weekday prizes listed in the promotion add up to $500 per day ($300 plus $200). The gap between the headline maximum and the listed prizes is something to clarify in the full terms on Headway's website, including how the maximum can be reached.

For weekdays, the trading contest has two main reward streams:

• Trader of the Day: $300 for the trader with the highest lot volume that day.
• Lucky Winner: $200 awarded through a raffle draw.

Each weekday, Headway names two winners. The campaign therefore gives two chances to be rewarded every day: one based on trading activity and one based on chance. Traders who prefer a skill-based approach will focus on the Trader of the Day prize, while the raffle is open to participants on the leaderboard who meet the eligibility rules.

Weekday Prizes at a Glance

The table below summarizes the weekday structure described in the promotion.

The promotion describes prizes as withdrawable, and you can win on more than one day during the campaign. The material available for this guide does not describe weekend prizes, so do not assume that weekends carry the same rewards.

How to Join the Contest Step by Step

Entry is designed to be quick. The promotion outlines three steps:

1. Make a deposit. A one-time deposit of at least $5 is required.
2. Trade on every day you want to qualify. You need to trade at least 0.1 lot on a given day to appear on that day's leaderboard. Every standard lot you trade also generates a $1 donation to charity.
3. Collect rewards. Winners receive withdrawable prizes, and you can win on multiple days.

If you already have a Headway account, check that it is eligible and that your trading activity is recorded under the correct account before the contest period begins. Keeping your own record of daily lot volume is also useful. It helps you confirm your leaderboard position and gives you a clear reference if you have questions about your activity. If you are still deciding whether the broker suits you, our Headway review covers the company in more detail.

Understanding the Leaderboard Requirement

The 0.1 lot threshold is the key qualifying rule. It is a low bar in lot terms, but it applies every day you want to be considered. Missing a day means you are not on that day's leaderboard. That removes your chance at the Trader of the Day prize for that day and may affect raffle eligibility, depending on the full rules.

For the Trader of the Day prize, the comparison is against other participants' lot volume. A trader who trades heavily on one day can still be outpaced by someone with higher volume. Consistent qualifying activity matters, but the outcome of each day's competition depends on what other participants do.

Be careful about how you pursue that competition. Chasing a leaderboard position can push traders toward larger position sizes or more frequent trades than their plan allows. A trading contest should not change how you size positions or manage risk. A practical approach is to decide your position sizing and daily trade limits before the day starts, and to stick to them regardless of where you sit on the leaderboard.

How the Charity Element Works

The contest links trading activity to giving. According to the promotion, Headway donates $1 to charity organizations for every standard lot traded during the campaign. The donation is tied to trading volume, not to whether you win a prize, so every eligible standard lot contributes.

The promotion highlights three organizations working in different countries:

NIMA Cares (Ghana)

NIMA Cares supports widows and single mothers by helping care for orphans. Its work focuses on education and day-to-day support so that children can build a better future.

Yayasan Darul Aitam (Indonesia)

Based in North Sumatra, this foundation supports orphans with housing and long-term care. It also provides schooling from primary to university level, healthcare support, faith guidance and job skills training.

Yayasan Ikram Malaysia (Malaysia)

Yayasan Ikram Malaysia helps low-income families, orphans and people affected by disasters. It offers financial aid, community programs and education support across Malaysia.

These are the organizations profiled alongside the campaign. Check Headway's official terms to confirm how donations are allocated between them.

Things to Check Before You Enter

Before joining any promotion of this kind, review the following points in the full terms:

• Promotion dates: The campaign is tied to Ramadan, but this guide does not confirm whether a new run is scheduled. Check Headway's site for the exact start and end dates of any current contest.
• Maximum rewards: Clarify how the "up to $1,000 per day" figure relates to the $500 in listed weekday prizes.
• Eligibility and withdrawal conditions: Confirm any account requirements that apply to prize withdrawals.
• Account type and instruments: Make sure your account and the instruments you trade count toward lot volume.
• Lot calculation: Confirm how standard lots are counted for both the leaderboard and the charity donation.

Trading involves risk, and no contest prize is guaranteed. Only trade money you can afford to lose. Traders who want to compare how other brokers structure their promotions can read our XM Group review, which covers a different broker's approach to trader incentives.
