ADX and Al Ramz Capital Announce Round 3 Trading Champions, Accelerating Retail Investor Engagement in UAE Capital Markets

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group, the second largest stock exchange in the Arab region, and Al Ramz Capital, a leading financial services institution headquartered in the UAE, today announced the winners of the third round of the Al Ramz Investment and Trading Competition.

Supporting the UAE’s national vision for economic diversification, the competition equips local retail investors with the practical skills and confidence required to navigate modern capital markets. By pairing real-market execution and highly sought-after travel rewards with a competitive, high-reward ecosystem, the ADX and Al Ramz Capital are actively transforming how the public interacts with financial assets.

The third round witnessed a substantial surge in participation from both emerging and veteran traders deploying advanced strategies in a live trading environment. Notably, the competition ensures fairness by evaluating traders strictly on percentage performance rather than capital scale, ensuring that strategic acumen, not portfolio size, determines success.

The winners of Round 3 are:

1st

Asim Al Zarooni
7.12
1,000,000 Etihad Guest Miles

2nd

Sultan Al Kuwaiti
2.87
500,000 Etihad Guest Miles

3rd

Shaikha Al Mehairbi
2.85
250,000 Etihad Guest Miles

To guarantee absolute transparency, participant rankings were calculated using time-weighted return (TWR). This industry-standard methodology isolates pure trading capability by neutralizing the impact of external cash flows. To sharpen their strategies, contestants had full access to institutional-grade technical reports, market data, and analytical suites hosted on the ADX platform.
