Is 25 Points a T2W Dow record anybody ?

[GentleTrap]

Iv Just been looking at the results of the Dow competition and see that the winner Silkenmask has amassed 25 points. 5 points for being correct on each of four consecutive weeks and another 5 for being closest on this last occasion.

Silkenmask , if your happen to read this then i want to say congratulations for both winning the Dow competition, this time around and for giving, what for me was a very impressive performance of 25 Points.

I was wondering is 25 Points a T2W record or is there some one who has managed to get an even higher score than this in the past. ?

 

[SilkenMask]

Hi Gentle and thank you.

I'm still relatively new to T2W so i'm afraid I can't answer your question if 25 points is a record ) all I can say is i'm pleased with the result and that the study of charts is paying off !!!!

whether its luck im still uncertain as with most analysis results, a lot can be ruined by human emotion, or is that your analysis can go down the toilet due to human emotion !!! lol I find Chess similar. work on at what your seeing and if your lucky you may be able to work out what your opponent will do next !!!

Don't you just love the thrill when your right !!! there again its a s**t when your wrong !!! then its back to the board and start all over again lol

Anyone for a game of chess? lol

Game On

Iv not played chess for a while Silken, but I think I can remember how the Peices move and something about the Ruy Lopez & Nimzo Indian if your up for it

 

[SilkenMask]

I never refuse a challenge

I look forward to a game gentle... Name the time and place and I will let you know if I am able to play. If you can think and talk at same time will be a relaxing way of discussing TA as i try and take your queen !!! lol

Congratulations SilkenMask, 25 points is a fantastic score and your prize book will be with you shortly.

As for GentleTrap's question about the points record. Having looked at the historical stats, the highest score ever was 30 points by Bullish Bear (with two weeks of 5 points and two of 10 points!). SilkenMask is in joint second place with 25 points, along with dstone and twiggytwo

 

[GentleTrap]

Congratulations Bullish Bear on being Top dog , No pun intended. 30 Points is quite astounding and I suspect will stand as a T2W record for some time to come.

 

[twiggytwo]

Congratulations to Bullish Bear, I think you will hold the record for a very very long time with your 30 points Best Regards

Hi Des and Counter

I wonder how many others do actually play ? is anyone interested in getting a forum together and playing ? whilst two are actually playing Chess the others can discuss trading and their experiences, Yahoo Chess allows as many people as you wish watching a game and chatting. That would allow people to chat and also relax with a game of chess if their interested that is. Could easily be arranged
