Watch Me Win the September Contest

[JR97]

Quote from mahras2:

Hmmm can your returns be sustained? If you can return 30% a month in two years every dollar you have is worth 542 bucks. Pretty nice number to look at but statistically you will probably fail at that. However, feel free to achieve those numbers and become the next financial superstar .

In no way am I so disilliusional to think I could sustain that rate over time. But I figure it's worth a run for 30 days. Doesn't hurt that someone else is "sponsoring' me in the thing. I'd never trade a regular account with a contest type strategy.

I think you were going for "delusional", as opposed to "disillusioned".

jr97>Thats a good idea there. Way too many people there have lost substantial stakes by trading 2K+ accounts and trying to get first placed through high leverage.

Nice that someone else is sponsoring you. Way to play a win win situation . Nice setup.

Are there other forex brokers offering competition. I know if www.mgforex.com but their platform is shitty and disconnects, with open trades disappearing without getting closed.

FXCM has a monthly mini trading contest, but after some of the things I've read about them I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.

I found that the mini cooper contest was run by forex.com and ended in June.

I have entered the September monthly trading contest being run at Interbank FX. You can watch my progress here:

I am competing in the Expert Advisor division. My strategy is to put the pedal to the metal. I am confident I will end up on top. Is anyone else from ET competing in this contest in either category? Anyone else care to show off their live money trading skills?

Feel free to post your own live money FX trading in this thread.

Well the September contest is over. I did better than 86% of the poll respondents here thought I would do. Competition always seems to bring out the best in my trading. The results are still preliminary, as no winners have been announced yet but so far it looks good for me. I didn't sign up for the October contest so good luck to all those who are competing this month!

Congratulations. Mighty impressive.

You might have a better chance by never trading: you can let the competititors bleed each other to death and blown up; end up as the only one with the same money you started with and win.

288% Great job! I assume you trade a similar method in 'real life' but without the juiced leverage?

Thanks,

But even more impressive from the manual trader category is pipstar's up 472.24 % performance. Also of note is that after NFP (day 2) globvest in the expert advisor category was up 475.77 %. He could have quit at that point and been way ahead!
