Almost go time!

I am curious how you plan to incorporate order flow into your trading - that's something I've done in the past as well and something I'm planning on doing again, just on the futures market next time. Are you using any orderflow-specific software?

Futures remain small part of the large currencies market.

But there is lot of speculative activity that goes through them.

And all the work I have done so far tells me that the future's volume contains very useful information despite the fact that futures market share is tiny compared to overall currency market (which will have swap, options, spot in addition).

I will share a chart shortly. But mainly I am looking at volume and numbers bars of CME future contracts using Sierra.

Trades so far. The giant loss is because I accidentally put on a position for 1 lot instead of 0.1 lots . Don't trade when you're sick and on medicine...

Hopefully I'll be out of the hole and ahead in the next few days

Here's an update 1.5 weeks into the competition. After the giant $200 loss last week I've slowly and steadily been climbing my way back to positive equity

Is it true that working sick affects operations?
Right now I have a bad cold and my operations have all gone bad, I can not explain if it is the negative streak, only a temporary week of losses, the market is bearish or because I am operating with fever.

I was going to post the latest stats tomorrow after market close (Friday evening my time), but I will do it now in the interest of transparency, in case the account blows up before then.

Comparing the stats from last week to this week, things were going well and I was steadily increasing my balance, and then the bearish market news in the US, coupled with over-leveraging, kinda screwed me over. I am currently caught in a series of shorts on EURUSD that are eating up my equity, and my drawdown is flirting with the 50% competition limit. Fingers crossed for EURUSD going back down to 1.136!

Depending on the market situation tonight + tomorrow, I will decide whether to close out the EURUSD position, or let it ride.

This is the main mistake we have both made.

Nevertheless, I see your account touched 60% drawdown while mine touched -49% and is at -43% still. So I reckon we close down this competition. In fact I will close down the whole thread.

I am personally participating in another twitter competition, which have better terms than this one. It is year long and have a minimum buyin of 5K. Which I think is better.

Thanks for participating.

Let's catch up privately via direct messages.

Good luck! I'll keep trading this account (assuming it doesn't explode soon)
