Quote from Trader666:
Trading contest, trading contest, you and me. Come on, Jack! Let's see what you're really made of!
There are many things like you describe that are well under way. You have just started to play in a couple of them.
Most contesting done here is done on turf. People view me as competing all the time and there is a kind of turf associated with where I participate.
It is mostly in two places with two different groups. One group is participating to build better and better equity curves. The other group arrives, sets up a playing field, marks some boundaries on the field, sets up some rules to beat themselves up and fail to participate after a short time, and walk away with nothing to show for it. Sometimes I show up when the bullshit gets too deep.
This particular OP is part of a set of OP's, all beginner and below par in possibility, for reaching any conclusions. You guys aren't making much money day after day at this point. You keep leaving money on the table and you make plays that aren't there. You do not even follow your pronouncements.
You just got the conversation up to three degrees of freedom for a moment and you want to start to show your first trade in ET. You are forming teams to play on your side. We all know that you do better than 5k to 200k in two years or you wouldn't compete, probably.
With you and your buddies posting all your trades and methods it will be a benefit to everyone who takes the time to read your performance. As of now we have posts going on in several places every day and on a lot of topics. Cull them and link or post them on the OP you will be setting up to show your performance, methods and knowledge and skills. Get to work and show how much better you are than the track records that have already been posted and will continue to be posted every day by many people on our team.
If you want to jump start this thread you will be running, post your last two years so it can be compared to the 5k to 200k run up on rockets. We all know you did better but we don't have the details as yet. Think of your past two years like they do at Churchill Downs; it just qualifies you. We are here; we are posting; we have a posted track record and reports on how we are improving.
Use any posting from ET or elsewhere for your team or even post your own stuff as the days go by. Just post the results and annotated charts like chicken is asking easy to do to help him out.
It will be good for ET to see a better method than SCT rolling out. You might even make the news.
Our team is in place, reporting and sharing methods. Just link our results to where you team will be posting your results.
I have a 9:30MST seminar (4hrs) and a 2:00 pm MST set up for trading meeting (2hrs). You should have your thread set up, your first resulo ts and the links to our results by the time I get to check back in. You can keep this thing rolling as long as you want. Our data is always available unless moderators shut the records down due to their proclivities for their moderating. Barron occassionallyand totally unknowingly deletes my stuff.... lol....
Oh..... make up some rules you will be following.
