Hopefully you can improve and Elitetrader.com can get a member on the leader board by the end of the challenge. Also, take a look at #5 tuong on the leader board. That's the first time I've ever seen someone that trades HE (Lean Hogs) land on the leader board any time within a challenge. wrbtrader

Spectre, I'm sure you've looked at your trade log for those 58 trades. Is the trade log just as confusing as the trade execution platform ? Also, you solely focus on the simulator challenge or you're trading real money trades too in ES and NQ outside the challenge ? wrbtrader

Hope its just a hairline break (requires only a soft cast boot) and nothing serious beyond that. wrbtrader

I liked that old goat. wrbtrader

Can you post a screenshot of someone in the challenge that made +300 trades ? Those that made +300 trades...are any of them on the leader board ? I think the prize is low for two reasons...to minimize gambling and their are professionals in the challenge. In fact, that's why its called Trade...

Everyone is on the same platform. Thus, even playing field...everybody using the same awkward platform but I wouldn't be surprise if some computer geek about platforms has created something to execute orders more efficiently in that platform. wrbtrader

Already stated by others which is why I stated you need to practice on the crappy trade execution platform prior to competing in the trading challenges. Yet, someone said the CME Group platform is based upon TradingView platform. If so, I'll never use tradingview platform to place any real...

Yeah, I had heard that clip a year earlier prior to the basketball game as an introduction to an astronomy show but it was edited (not as impressive). Chicago did it at the basketball game in a way that was impressive but most likely due to the atmosphere involving those participating in the...

Alan Parsons made that song Sirius (Eye in the Sky) and its still a big hit today in sports arenas and astronomy shows. I had seen them in concert. Later I flew to Chicago for one of the home playoff games and didn't know they used that as their introduction theme song. To hear that short clip...

Above quote from destriero thread @ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/dests-trade-against-a-pro-trading-challenge.338320/page-7#post-4975492 ----- I'm sure the CME Group did their research or beta test to determine that a trader whom trades with real money is not going to put aside their...

So far in this thread...I see too many emotional (feelings) statements here in your trade journal that only contains numbers. Also, you've asked is that feeling normal ? Usually when someone talks like that and continues posting numbers or phrases (e.g. eight consecutive week with positive...

Everything may start overnight but some days the US session is hyper like Dec 2nd Monday. I think everything starts a few hours "before" the US session. :cool: wrbtrader

Just backtest your trade strategy on historical intraday data and then see what times your trade signals tend to appear. For example (hypothetically)...70% of your trade signals in the BUND tend to appear between 5:00 - 6:40AM. You will now know when you should be "monitoring" the BUND versus...

@wabu27 You've mention videos a few times in the thread but there's no link to any videos. Can you post the link to your past live streamed videos. wrbtrader

souilh, It looks like you have not been trading lately and your past videos of your trading sessions have been removed. Did Twitch remove those videos for whatever reasons or did you remove them ? wrbtrader

If you do not need money for income to pay bills, support your living expenses or whatever...let it grow but pay yourself a small salary even if you do not need it and do not trade with your profits until the capital becomes substantial via whatever that may be to you. This will allow you to...

I'll work for Keyser Söze for 91 million dollars. Yet, my family will need to go into hiding from the Hungarian folks. :D wrbtrader

Yeah, exactly. I know a few personally in the trading challenge and that's what they did. They placed a few trades in a trend and then left it alone...went back to their real trades and essentially ignore the trading challenge because they didn't want it to distract them from real money...

I'm not familiar with TradingView platform. Thanks for the heads up about what's behind the CME Groups trading platform. I assumed in error it was something to do with CQG platform because they're the main sponsor of the trading challenge. I've always thought TradingView was just charts...
