T2W Forex Contest - Week 2 (Prize: Apple TV)

[kimo'sabby]

That's me f*cked anyway, still can't close any positions out.

 

[Sharky]

I was just burned using ForexDesk.
Entered long Aud/usd with a 78 pip Stop, automatically closed at -2 pips. Opened a second Aud/usd long, automatically closed at -2 pips.

Opened a third long Aud/usd position without a Stop, has stayed opened.
Had opened Usd/cad short position with a StopLoss, it opened with no problems.

That's me f*cked anyway, still can't close any positions out.

We've now fixed these issues. So, if you spot anything else strange, let us know right away. Thanks for your patience!

Still not letting me get rid of the 2 units short position. Strange.

Just checked with the techies and there cleaning up the accounts that were affected, should be all in order shortly.

Sharky,

I've not been able to make a trade for 24hrs. I hope you're not paying the tech guys too much money. Anyway, good luck with the "gremlins".

 

[Sharky]

Kim... now all fixed! It was a bit more complicated than you could imagine! =)

Thanks, but no thanks, i'll leave it now. No good to me matey.

Text book strategy of cutting losses and letting winners run and not maxing out with margin managing risk is working out well.

Keeping it around 80% margin - touched 50% once or twice scalping.


Don't know why Kimo'Sabby dropped out of the list - I had him in my targets too...

CV you fired up yet? :cheesy:

SuperSpurs - you've gone from 44 - 58K and back... I sense a lot of volatility there. One bad turn and big margin trades can get wiped out quicker than you can catch a falling knife.


You guys are lucky I don't need any more television sets...

'Glitches', can't trade a platform full of glitches, especially when they wipe 50% of your profits out.

Besides, i wanna see who's on the make from now on. I also wanna see who should be making more. I've got high expectations for some, i hope i'm not dissapointed.

Good luck mate.

Sharky does that include my account, can you remove my 2 Aud/usd long trades that immediately were Stopped out at -2.6 & -2.3 pips each?

Thanks, it will drastically change my stats.

Stop makin excuses u pussy. U said u were gonna win last week and u didn't, then u said u were gonna win these week and all ur ball suckers backed u up, now you've pussied out this week as well. Glitches my @rse, workin fine for me! Gonna win next week tho aren't ya?

 

[counter_violent]

Managed to close a single audusd tonight. Can't cancel other orders nor close remaining positions. Freekin nightmare. Only got winning trades in the stats and wining positions closed, now even I can figure out that this means account must be above 50k Just hoping that my 10 lotter reaches target to see if that triggers a close.

 

[counter_violent]

Sailed past target limit order not triggered...still no cancel or manual close.

 

[superspurs]

limits not closing,manually closed.good luck guys,i might have a look in later.

STFU.

The only way you could EVER beat me in this comp is if Sharky put my account on hold for 24 hours. End of!

'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.'

Sharky will not be stitching me up again.

Besides, the way the rules are at the moment, there's only gonna be the same few people winning the comp every week. This comp is going down the pan unless Sharky makes up some rules to benefit the weaker traders.

Now go away.

Looks like there are two separate issues. Firstly with limits not working and secondly an issue with negative margin still showing on some accounts preventing you from closing positions or cancelling orders. Thanks for the feedback, we'll look into it this morning.

People in this business are rewarded for success, everyone is rewarded for success. Therefore I see no reason to give a 'handicap' to the weaker traders, when over time they should in fact develop better strategies their self to win. Even the professionals have an 'off week'

Look forward to the fixes Sharky

Another point - my stops and limits I think are working but I'm not sure which is which. I had entered quite a few Entry Orders

1. It would be good to be distinguish which were Market and which were Entry orders
2. To see whether trades were Stopped, Limit hit or Closed.

Totally Freudian mate! Hahaha!

Did you notice how Counter_V didn't seem to have any problems making 300 trades last week? (he only made about 12k)

Cheers dude.
