Good watch an learn

That's actually part of my overall plan...copy the winners. This new comp could do wonders for my real account balance.

OK all joking and competition stuff aside m8. The ultimate aim of this platform is as Sharky described, to help traders piggyback the winners or winning strategies. It might work or it might not...but none of us will know until much further down the road...and we have to try don't we !

Where iz me?

 

[kimo'sabby]

Changed from demo acc.1 to kimo'sabby#1.

 

[c6ackp]

Sharky - I can't access the forexdesk.com site at all from work (a big IB) - it's the only site I've not been able to access (using IE) - it looks like http://www.forexdesk.com redirects immediately to https:? I would guess that has something to do with it (that's a bit non-standard given that the user hasn't even logged in at that stage)... just a FYI

 

[Sharky]

Kimo'sabby: That'd be why, now you're #1 I'll make sure you get listed on the toplist tomorrow.

c6ackp: Yeah we basically run the whole site on a secure connection (ie https://), in the same way PayPal always redirects to https://www.paypal.com. Can you try accessing that site? Are you able to access any secure webpages, eg. checkout pages on Amazon, etc?

I would suspect it is more to do with the Banks proxy security settings. Some pages are simply blacklisted or not placed on white pages without trader request. :idea:

 

[Devilicus]

My money is on CounterViolent winning. Can I get, say, $50 if im right?

Doesn't really matter this week, C_V has pretty much stitched me up with his really early start. Did he actually start on Sunday or before?

 

[Sharky]

The contest started at the same time for everyone. In fact CV isn't leading anymore, he's dropped down into 10th place. Redart is now out in front:

Yes, paypal, amazon, etc. all work fine here - I think it's probably a combination of the web filter and the immediate redirect - normally, for any new site you get a prompt from the web filters saying something like "are you sure this is not going to harm the firm Y/N" and you can click through it - FD just chokes tho. Not a problem really - I don't suppose many folks here will be interested in the site...

 

[hoodoo man]

Your feedback is important!

Sharky, is this true? The ulterior motive of offering these competitions and the platform is to reverse engineer the strategies of those who have worked hard to become successful, and then to profit from their work?

 

[Sharky]

Not quite....

There's a discussion about the ForexDesk platform on this thread with an explanation of how it's planned to work: http://www.trade2win.com/boards/gen...owd-sourcing-forex-community.html#post1528914

That's still some way off.

In the meantime, it's an ideal platform to host the new forex competitions.

[GlenGary]

The tech support team has been notified. Please try again later.

I have a trade hung up, and get that message when i try to close,

not like it matters, lol, just saying..

 

[Atilla]

Not sure if it has been mentioned before but what does AutoTraders mean?

One account auto-traded by another account? Does this mean both accounts get same trades?


I can see the two star performers 'Redcrash and Financier' being watched and autotraded...
