Traders Laboratory Forex Trading Contest!

[Mysticforex 13]

I started the contest for October. I was concerned that by just hitting the "Repeat" button it may exclude new contestants from joining. So even if you are in the Septber contest you still have to join the October contest.

I wouldn't like to see you miss the contest, Mystic. I am certain others would not object to your continuing participation - particularly since you have no chance

of winning.

 

After all we have ForexTraderX and Obsidian to beat ... and of course myself!

 

Everyone can see that I am a late finisher ... :embarassed: Apparently Bob has already mailed the $100 to me.

 

:cool:any plans on where to spend it?

(Re: "Apparently Bob has already mailed the $100 to me.)

There is no option - the "cheque" arrived this morning, and the "prize" is $100 credit to be spent in Bob's Chinese Imports shop "within 30 days."

 

I'm going to purchase $100 worth of assembled Chinese Lanterns, to take advantage of Bob's "We-post-anywhere-for-free" policy.

 

I get 20% more chucked in for free too, if I order online. :rofl:

 

I have just entered the next contest.

 

Be afraid ... be very afraid!

those lanterns are not Chinese

it is a Thai thing...they use those lanterns during the Loi Kratong festival:

(you can buy it for $3-$4 i guess)

We are coming down the Home stretch .

[Mysticforex 13]

Less than 2% separate the top three . . .

Looks like we may have a photo finish.

Mystic, can you nominate again for us (me) the correct time

that positions need to be closed?

 

I may not be around (work) and want to grab the most

strategic time, as the commodity I am trading has turned

around and looks like restoring some respect to my account.

 

Let's hope there is time for it to recover before the close of the comp.

One of the things about trading contests is the deadline, and there is

a bit of difficulty in these volatile times in selecting a trade that will

have time to survive a bit of draw-down, and get on with its trend.

 

For this reason I was unable to place the trades for the contest that

I would have preferred. Instead, my own live trading is doing better,

because I am not needing to have it mature by the closing time.

 

Is anyone interested in extending the time to a couple of months,

for future contests? I am not making excuses - but my trading time

frame lends itself to longer term trades, and it would do me good

personally to be able to compete on a slightly extended TF.

 

What a great finish it looks like being :fight:

Anyway, I will sign up for the new one on saturday after I reset the balance

It may be that tomorrow will be too late, Obsidian ... I missed the cut once before because I didn't get my entry in early enough.

 

Perhaps you could open a second a/c and use that - it would be better than missing the cut.

Youri Gellar is a famous ( or infamous) Israeli physic. He can bend spoons with his mind. Allegedly he has a direct line to W.D. Gann.

 

Oh, wait a minute, I just Googled him. The Israeli Physic is Uri Gellar, not Youri.

Never mind.
