That's only 2 days to sign up ? A bit short notice don't you think or are you worried about too many entrants ?

BTW the above site doesn't seem to work ?

You already lost by not being able to find it. The name of their company mentioned several times in the article, then you google it...

Man, after reading the article, it is like amateur hour. One of the winners forgot to clear with his bank job compliance office, the runners of the tournament want to have a patent on it, they enter people without their knowledge,etc.etc.

Thanks Pekelo for finding the link for me :) I read the article and found it slightly funny. I didn't find it odd that bank guy didn't inform compliance. I found it truly odd that they inserted people into competition without their knowledge. Funny.

Reading through their website, its not clear to me whether you can trade futures? I only trade futures and FX, so if it is only a stock competition, well its of no use to me.
