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

[Sharky]

So who actually made the most money? Redart? Where did I finish? I didn't actually get to close a couple of trades out because I was in work, so does the profit on those still count?

A bit later than scheduled, here's last week's full rankings (in equity) starting on $50,000 balance:

1. redart $63,201.13
2. counter_violentmoves $63,060.68
3. kimo'sabby $56,703.4
4. Megamuel $54,771.69
5. rodcar $53,638.03
6. Demo Account 1 $53,194.9
7. Breadman $52,395.75
8. GlenGary $51,285.64
9. Trade321 $50,619.5
10. superspurs $50,160.00
11. EK1 $50,112.00
12. c6 $49,408.00
13. Dmt257 $49,031.00
14. Atilla $47,850.44
15. Sharky $46,800.46
16. stevenkeay $41,360.90
17. steve $40,471.48
18. Lightning McQueen $40,280.00

Congrats to redart and CV who both won the $100 prize (as redart just had higher equity but CV pipped redart to the post purely on P&L).

==============================

Week 2

Entry is open all week long, so it's never too late to join. To get started just follow the instructions from last week here:
http://www.trade2win.com/boards/t2w...-contest-starts-sun-15th-may.html#post1552878 and put #2 on your account name. Let me remind contests the account must have no previous activity in it.

Rule changes for this week:
- The winner will be judged by their P&L for the week (not their equity).
- The official end of the contest will be Friday 10:00pm UCT (that's 6pm ET, 11pm BST).
- Winner will be announced before the Week 3 contest starts Sunday 10:00pm UCT (that's 6pm ET, 11pm BST).

Prizes this week:
- This week's trader with top P&L wins an awesome Apple TV



- We also have a SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Blade USB Flash Drive for the person who comes up with the best suggestion for improving ForexDesk or the T2W Forex Competition (as judged by the T2W staff). To enter just click the "Feedback" tab on the right hand side of ForexDesk when you're logged in and post your idea. (Note you no longer have to register separately for this, it works with your existing ForexDesk login). Here's the direct link also: http://feedback.forexdesk.com/



This week's contest is already under way, here's the current leaderboard:



And here's the link for this week's leaderboard:

Re: New T2W Forex Contest - Starts Sun, 15th May

I must be doing something really stupid, because I keep getting "Oops! Link broken" errors, on forexdesk links.
Cant get access via the previous posts link, nor via Google.

(Mind you, did spend the weekend installing some weird XAMPP local/remote database stuff)
but, all other links etc work fine.

Is it just me?

Re: New T2W Forex Contest - Starts Sun, 15th May

We had a problem with the DNS server, so T2W and ForexDesk went down for about 30 mins about an hour or so ago, but it should be resolved now. Make sure you're browsing via https and not http.

Dns problems... Hehehe did someone screw up

Re: New T2W Forex Contest - Starts Sun, 15th May

Hmm, not sure maybe because you renamed your #1 account to #2 so we didn't pick up when we ran the list. That account won't qualify this week, it needs to be a new account as per the rules.

Re: New T2W Forex Contest - Starts Sun, 15th May

Can't believe kimo and cv beat me. They both came back from oblivion on the last day. Come on Sharky give me $100 n all! My equity chart was much smoother and you're loaded! Oh and next time can you announce the prizes before the comp starts! I well want that tv!!!

SOCRATES is it you?!

You also are very tiresome and a bore,

I have explained before, and I will explain again.

I am not him, he is not me, I am not Bulldozer, Bulldozer is not him or me, I am not you, and you are not anybody.

Re: New T2W Forex Contest - Starts Sun, 15th May

So, who won?!?! Well, I don't think anyone would have predicted we'd have one player with the highest P&L and another player with the highest equity - a difference of about $250. So, in the spirit of fairness, we've decided to award both redart AND counter_violent 1st prize of $100 each. Congratulations!

I'll post tomorrow the final scoreboard along with details of the prize for next week and clarification on the rules, so it's crystal clear who's in the lead next week.

Those that participated, thanks for taking part!

Funny you are!

There's no need to explain your losing trades, Flash. Don't worry, everyone still thinks you're a good trader,...honestly.
