"If at any point in time" infers trailing.

caa, This is no longer the case, as you are probably aware. Taken from Earn2trade website: https://help.earn2trade.com/the-gauntlet/what-is-the-maximum-drawdown-on-the-gauntlet-challenge The maximum drawdown is 10%. This includes open trade equity. If at any point in time your accounts value...

Reminder- There were Democrat voters that didn't vote last time because they were complacent and also didn't want to vote for Hillary. Different ball game here...

Hahahaha :D

Thank you for the detailed reply

Make for an interesting carport. Mind your doors on the polyps though.

True. Although the end result is indicative of the sum of all your trades. If you have a statistically proven trade plan, follow it and don't deviate. Following your rules is the key to consistency.

For starters the Spot Gauntlet was running on the OANDA MT4 platform. There's a myriad of other reasons

Yeah thanks, but they aren't really an adequate substitute.

@Earn2Trade-Ryan, I note you have made changes to the Gauntlet as well as removing the Spot FX Gauntlet. The sizing possibilities as well as pair availability made Spot Fx an attractive proposition. Not to mention a point of difference with product offering in comparison to your competitors.

I don't think questioning Jesus Christ is kicking a "fellow ET guy when he is down". All the positive words, prayers and affirmations ain't worth nothing in this game if you don't play with a quantifiable repeatable edge. Jumping around with different trading vehicles/approaches shows a lack of...

The prudent thing would be to delay the confirmation vote. Or they can go ahead with the confirmation vote and suffer the consequences in the mid-terms.....

I like the Gauntlet concept and am following this thread and as you are now running a journal in this thread it is providing me with further information, so thank you. But no, trading and drama don't really do anything for me. Personally, I see the trading arena as a dispassionate zone. That's...

Ah, Rupert Murdoch owns The Australian, you know the same Rupert Murdoch that owns Fox....

I don't understand the underlying negative tone. You have moved back to the bonds where you have your edge. Just trade 'em and leave the drama at the door. I might sound harsh but I'm being serious.
