  2. Yes it is correct. By not using some kind of DD rule the Contest has turned into exactly the kind of Rodeo I was hoping to avoid. To me at least it doesn't make sense to expend anymore energy on it.

  4. I have been down that road.. When I was younger doctors were always wanting to send me for Gloucose tolerant's testing. Always tested normal. Always felt great ( still do though nowadays the thought of an afternoon nap is hard to resist).

  6. That would be interesting ZDO. I used to do a 3 - 5 day fast twice a year. Just cleansing. not weight loss. this was a few years ago, not recently. Sometimes it bothers people when I say my problem is keeping weight on.
  7. Nic, are all your trades closed ? or do you have any open ?
  8. So, weight loss without sacrificing strength, stamina, or overall health ?
  9. iPhone, IMHO... I don't really use my phone for trading, just monitoring.
  10. Results so far: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  11. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course. Comment or ask questions.
  12. To all. Please feel free t post any reasons, descriptions of the trades you have taken. It's not mandatory but I am sure a lot of people would find it interesting.

  16. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Completely understand. I've participated i so many contests I don't give it a second thought. We'll catch you at some future date.

  18. First day. As expected not much activity, Big holiday in the States.
  19. We are officially started. We had 9 entrants but have 1 resignation. Good Luck to all !!
  20. If you are non US resident I believe you have that on your platform.
  21. Ok hen it looks like we are ready to roll. Just waiting/hoping for a last minute entry or 2.
  22. We can't differentiate DD on a single trade, Oanda is not set up for that. Just Max DD at any given time.
  23. Friday, August 31 is the last day one can sign up for the contest. I will log on to Oanda on that day at 10:00 PM EDT ( GMT -5 ) to see if there are any last minute contestants. The contest begins the next trading day ( for me that would be Sun 9/2 at 5:00 PM So far we have 8 contestants. Are we all agreed on the Draw down rule? Speak up. This is not MY contest it is OUR contest.
  24. Those of you just getting into trading, what are your expectations? Have you heard the stories of relative new traders turning their $10K accts into $100K in 1 month, 6 months or a year? What kind of expectations do you have? If they are unrealistic you may be setting yourself up for failure. If you could make just 1% a day on your account you would own all the wealth of the planet within a decade (assuming compounding). So beware of the 10 pips a day brigade - it just doesn't happen like that. Beware of the claims of 90% win rates - they are almost certainly lies. Several years ago I had a 103% return on one of my accts in a month's time. Five months later I margin called the same acct. Learn to walk before you try to run.
