Traders Laboratory Forex Trading Contest!

Recommended Posts

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:

Loi Krathong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

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:

I was a bit busy for the last couple of days so I did not open any new positions...

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.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
