How to avoid losing prize places in tournaments?

Tournaments are getting more and more popular these days, so the battles for prize places sometimes become really nervous. In this article, we would like to tell you about how to remain in prize places until the end of a tournament.

The most popular scenario that we face is the following:

Users A and B are on 10th and 11th places correspondingly, and it is about 5 minutes before the end. The A user does not have any active trades, and the B user has several. These active trades of the B user close with profit, bringing enough money to switch places with the A user. In this case, the A user is kicked out from the prize tournament place just before its end. It is not pleasant, isn't it?

We observed that the last hour of tournament usually is the most active one! So, try to keep yourself concentrated especially at this time if you want to win.

People make most of their trades at this last hour, and many of them close almost at the same time as the tournament itself. Sometimes they bring good profits enough to move to prize places as in the example above.

However, keep in mind that you can open new trades with expiration time not later than the end of the tournament! You will not be allowed to set an expiration time later than the tournament's end.

Watch your opponents all the time, especially in the last hour. It is a good idea to set up the expiration time of your trades almost by the end of the tournament. In this case, you will have more chances of not being kicked out of your prize place.
