The holy grail phrase is the wrong way to look at it. Instead, try looking at it from the stand point as a career in trading. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/06/nepotism-mobility-same-jobs-fathers/395567/ Also, be aware that most retail traders and professional traders have...

He'll never be able to have a good showing unless he puts all of his business aside that he's contracted to do...that would allow him to devote himself to the simulator trading competition. CME Group doing a lot of things wrong and one of those things involves using someone (Bob Iaccino) for...

You state that lately you've been... receiving emails from this person regarding trading workshops and mentorships that cost around $1,500. Its simple, if the emails are unsolicited...its called spam. :rolleyes: Yet, if you contacted the trader to find out about her trading or to see how...

OMG...greater than 190 trades on that cruel CME Group trade execution platform and then you did a few more via your mobile device. I know they've been getting complaints lately about their platform. Hopefully, they'll make some dramatic changes by the next trade against a pro challenge. You...

I once heard a story back in the 90's about a desk broker at the CME wearing a diaper on a very busy trading day. :sneaky: wrbtrader

They all do it and I've experience (continue to do so) in three different countries. :D wrbtrader

I'm now imagining the metal traders are huddle somewhere in the dark...talking about how they're going to sabotage you to ensure the top 3 places go only to traders of metal futures. Seriously, do not click on links in any suspicious emails tomorrow. :D wrbtrader

Wow...that's a high percentage of winners on a trade execution platform that's not easy to use and you've had > 130 trades too. You're obviously cutting your losers fast without allowing them to become big losing trades. wrbtrader

Be careful...that fresh air could cost you your spot on the leader board. Seriously, donuts break, toilet break, coffee break, tea break (U.K.)...weird things happens while your away. :wtf: wrbtrader

Keep up the excellent work especially with 139 trades on the CME Group trade execution platform that most feel like it will make them vomit. Actually, I'm a little shock most don't quit the challenge with that platform after about 30 trades. Also, I've notice something very odd with this...

Yeah, things get weird when the Palladium (PA) traders show up on the leader board. Those participants tend to have the fewest trades but make the biggest movement in the challenge. I remember a ES / NQ trader saw the same thing...the big movers were the PA traders. That trader of ES / NQ...

Pekelo, If this was real money trading...would you have put on the same positions on just before a 2pm FOMC announcement ? wrbtrader

That would then imply you've been hacked or IB has a problem on their side...the latter you'll never be able to prove. Hopefully, all account passwords has been changed and you now have a new IB key. I wonder if IB can send you an IP log that the trades were made from or maybe you already have...

Routinely, make screenshots of your open positions before logging off the computer. That timestamp should show trade position, trade ID and any other info you may need to help to show your position. I will assume your computer itself is also password protected and that nobody else in your...

Can you download it and post it here in the thread in csv or IIRC for the 1200 participants or even just a screenshot...thanks. Not a problem if you're not able to do it. Yet, I do know its available to a participant. In contrast, I was wondering if its available to someone that's not a...

I can not check the leader board because I'm not a participant in this specific challenge or because I'm currently in my home in one of the restricted countries. :thumbsdown: He usually makes no more than 30 trades in any particular challenge but I do wish the CME Group setup so that the trade...

Most marriages last 10 - 15 years. Thus, marriage and investing is a better analogy than trading. Yet, even if you use dating as analogy...its probably more like going to a bar, party or dance club and you're trying to meet someone to hook up with. I prefer the sports / trading analogy with...

Many use their first participation in a challenge to lean the rules and then practice / learn what they need to do to crack the top 10. The flaw I see by the CME Group is that they come across as big on risk management via their videos and requirements that you can not claim your prize if you...

You and vanzandt (#57) have a chance to land on the leader board if you two continue doing well. Keep in mind that the biggest movement among the participants has occurred on the last two trading days of the challenge. Edit: vanzandt has now moved up to #36 (he's posting in destriero's...

Yeah, just wait until the cattle or wheat traders show up too. :D wrbtrader
