princeton, Yea I would think all of the competitors conceeds #1 is out of reach... a lot of money to be won in the other spots.. where are you currently ranked? or are you not in the rankings yet?

Anyone reading this thread one of the new people who have broken into the top 10?

HOLY crap... the new rankings on interactive brokers has a guy at $469,000...... all I can say is WOW... is that a typo or something? Did the guy load up all of his mony in nq puts or something??? Also the guy who as at +141,000 last week seems to be off the list now... wonder what happened...

princetontiger.... How did your week go for you? Do you expect to be in the top 10 this week?

I recommend ibcontroller. Its the one I currently use now, and I faced a similar problem with needing the information encrypted. What I did was took the source for ibcontroller and made a few changes to it... Ibcontroller's code is pretty simple. just go to the area where its pulling your...

jtnet, Sorry to hear that. Was it a screw up in your code where the bot took a trade it shouldn't have? Or did you do what follow did and tinker with your parameters a bit? I understand some of you may not want to divulge information.. and I respect that.. but in any area that you feel...

I don't see how anyone will use that information...... updated results will be posted on monday anyway. Don't see that giving anyone an edge. Might let some of the contenstants sleep easier at night.. but I doubt it would do much more than that. Just becuase some guys strategy is risky doesn't...

jtnet, You said on monday you were currently in third. I am guessing you have a fairly high risk strategy to make that much so quickly. How has your strategy performed this week? Will you still be in the top 10? Or have you run into a draw down sorta like follow has had? Is your strategy...

so how has everyone been doing? EDIT: I see follow has now been added to the rankings...... did they tell you why you were not on the list orgionaly?

follow, Sorry to hear about the beats your taking now. I figured your strategy seemed too good to be true... with a high leverage strategy your going to see some wild swings up and down.... I expect that when the top 10 is shown next week a lot of them may no longer be in the top for that...

Follow, Did you get an answer why you were not listed int eh rankings? How are all the other contestants doing today?

hmm that is very odd that IB screwed up and does not show your name. Let us know what they end up telling you... I wonder if there are a lot of people who done better than those that it showed today but they messed up in gathering the winners...

princetontiger, You are up that much today, or since the competion began? Eitherway, thats not that bad.. from the looks at it if you just keep going steady finishing in the top 13 and winning 10k should be "fairly" simple... A decent strategy should get you a finish in that area..... the...

I wonder what happened to the original poster? I really do not think he was lying to us... so either that wasn't his name..... or he blew up trading forex last night and fell out of the rankings..... before IB compiled the stats on everyone

Especially if people are using the leverage that is at their disposal.... if these guys are using that kind of leverage then they are playing with a time bomb.. only a matter of time before they blow out... it would take some exstreme luck to flirt with that sort of leverage for 8 whole weeks...

3rd place.. not too shabby.. congrats... do you feel your strategy is performing the way it should, or did you expect to be up more or less at this point?

Looks like IB has posted the rankings thus far... You said your name is " Raleigh Cross" correct? I do not see you listed in these rankings. However, I do see someone with +41k already.. and a few around the 20's range..... Incredible...... I can't wait to see the results in 7 weeks...

Follow, I am guessing your well into the 120's by now. How are things looking for you?

The past 3 weeks have been the best 3 weeks it has had in about the past year.... It has not been on my real money account unfortunately though.. but it has been doing incredibly well... Will probably wait few more months and go live with it again... still working on trying to put in more...
