5? That's a miracle, frankly.

Well, you didn't even make it on the board.

 

[Pazienza]

Well, you didn't even make it on the board.

I would own the board and then crush it just for fun. But I didn't take part. If I did they would have to make a new super-board to accommodate my mega profits in teh forex.

this two-weeker is interesting.
just now, the total of profit is about 52K, or so. (positive accounts on page 1 only)

the next two pages amount to about 45K of total losses.
then it gets worse.

thus, the aggregate losses outweigh the aggregate wins, in dollar amounts, by a large multiple.

holy-moly.

Interesting, but as per usual with virtual account competitions, no-one trades in a way that's remotely similar to how they might if real money were involved. Not really much chance of winning unless you risk the lot from the start.

I'm waiting for the announcement of who's the winner of last weeks' contest

I don't know whether alex106 is qualified for the prize because alex has been invisible the whole course of the competition

 

[Lightning McQueen]

he does appear to have broken the rules? though we'll have to wait for admin for the decision on that.

Rules

- Accounts must remain public (not private) for the duration of the contest.

if you look at his profile in fxdesk you'll see he possibly running a few hidden accounts imo! the cheat!

 

[Lightning McQueen]

believe it may have been renamed account.

originally named "demo account 6" then renamed to a comp account in the closing stages? admin will have to check.

Thanks to everyone who participated for this contest, the new contest will be announced very shortly...

PS. Alex106's account was disqualified from winning because his account was not correctly named at the beginning of the contest.

Andycon has to win it soon. He's always among the business end.

Thought I was getting close last round, will probably crash and burn early this round.
