I'm shocked. I figured the top 10 or 20 traders would all be Hershey disciples and Proflogic students. I don't even see the redoubtable Bwolinsky on there?!

Later, when you understand more about markets, you will only be trading those where there is enough information to extract the full offer.

Watch the record of the winner.

he fouled up by not understanding the slower fractal than the one he was trading. when he go that straight, he was able to recover and win.

In any market that supplies clean and full data on the market, then a person can see the difference between a move from point 1 to point 2 from a move from point 3 to the beginning of overlap of the next trend. The first has two voume moves; the second has one volume move.

Certainly I have created synthetic volumes that let me do this BUT, I am not the type of person that gives away any state secrets.

This contest had no security for the players; it was just phishig expedition where the phishing was on a beginner/intermemdiate level.

narcissism and ego

Quote from DontMissTheBus:

Why would any one do this? Any reasonably decent trader is probably not enticed to do this for a few grand (except maybe for charity)?

And related to that point, the winning strategy is to just make an outright, outsized bet - since long term expectancy and risk don't matter. There's no down side.

Given the above two, what's the point of this? (I know it's for publicity to get newbies to join - but maybe you can show me the errors of my thinking)
