Beat The Broker Compo!

[trader_dante]

End of me for one day, i'm down to £35k and playing football tonight.

I was trying to buy £200 of Dow when a client called me.... cost me a lot of fantasy money!!

Mate, a phonecall for me just cost me over £23,000 because I missed the close.

 

[Lightning McQueen]

Mate it was up £23,700 and now its closed and I can't get out...LOL...I just rang them and apparently it will get added but only at 9pm.

good news mate, up 23k!!! thats my score lol, I got to the 28k mark and blew again, never mind, onward and upward

 

[Lightning McQueen]

Where's arabia got to? I'm missing those wild trades.

 

[TheGoose]

Tom,
That's rubbish as no doubt it will tie the margin up too. They didn't think about that.

i'm going to put all my eggs in one basket and go short of the Dow

 

[Hoggums]

Oh damn I've only just seen this thread.

I've just entered the compo. Don't think I stand much of a chance today...

thats enough for today, i doubt il be near the top at 9. but some more alcohol would be nice

 

[Hoggums]

Well I'm margined to the max, I'll either be a hero or zero when I get home in a couple of hours time..

 

[TheGoose]

I think that's me on top spot!!!

[Directional]

nice work! what did you trade?

 

[Joey25]

Just passed 50K - still sticking to £100 a point and hoping the Broker messes up!

 

[Joey25]

I see it's letting you change the username now.

 

[TheGoose]

Traded Dow mainly, bit of S&P and Light Crude.

Have lost top spot now though, was out for 2 hours, whether I would have built on it i'm not sure. haven't looked at any graphs.

 

[TheGoose]

i'm a bit annoyed with this, got into top spot was £60k up on opens, Dow cash below 8200, and the system was going soooooo slow that I couldn't close them all as you can only close in clips of £100.

Has probably just cost me the competition, but still something to brighten a dull day

Hi Goose,
Well done - fantastic result.
Just had a gander at your goosefile - sorry, I mean profile - and I see you're a systems vendor. Question: did you use your system to trade the comp' today and, if so, can I trial it over the next few days please?
:cheesy:
Tim.

well done.

The system is very painful to use. Like treacle most times.

 

[Hoggums]
