Robdee(Last update was on 21 Dec on MyFxbook...better shift to FF trade explorer..as it updates even when mt4 is not alive)
Thanks forexsaint
Yes I have been on holiday and now ready go again in new year.
I would like to use FF Trade Explorer but they do not support FXCM Trade Station so I am a bit stuck because MyFxbook publisher is also broken.

I will now withdraw from the contest until I can get another live account opened with an MT4 broker. I will be back. Good trading everyone.

update attempt 6 wk 1. A good start. The credit adjustment is actually my broker crediting my account with money arising from a trade that should have triggered a pending order but their systems went haywire and the rade never triggered nor did the preset take profit get hit. Of course this mucks up all stats as it is treated as a deposit.

Withdrawing? .....
Sure as you wish.
Though I am not sure why your myfxbook publisher is broken. I saw they also have now beta testing of a feature going on, by which it will also be same as Trade explorer..as far as connecting with broker is concerned( no need for mt4/trading software to be live)
C u soon

EURCHF
Went down and Broke 1.2150 as expected. Thought to see it down to 1.2120 ..went to 1.2131 only...just short of making a 14 week low below 1.2127. Made a 9 weekly low here.
Currently re-testing 1.2150 again
The move up shows some BUY orders down there, too-simply logical enough.
BUT Looking at the PA, it probably may visit or may be a spike kiss the 1.2100 zone or sub-12100 levels soon!

Nice at first look. Never heard of it..so prolly new.. will keep a watch and check it out. If its better than myfxbook (and bug free), we can list it as one of the options! Does it have that start date feature?

BTW which pair r u trading these days? Any specific? & one more thing... "nocturnal"...is that something related to your strategy? Just interested ..pretty unique name!

EURCHF
As expected and posted, hit 1.2100 zone..retested it once again till now and prolly will hit once again today
Overall the basic view remains the same. A throw at 1.20 's and pop up,..yes latter being the "most-know" scenario.
What has to be seen is the intensity of intervention this time compared to that >8% depreciation of swissy last time!
Its its <50% of the last one.. i am quite sure..SNB is doing it the wrong way & needs more money in future!
Looking at the PA down there, IMO
- its going to again test 1.21 and sooner or later break for 1.2050's & may be 1.2020 zone!
- SNB's post-hildebrand-resignation view was quite as expected . If they aren't coming in with REAL money before 1.2, we are not going anywhere above 1.22 before visiting 1.20.
- Have some buy limits placed @ multiple levels sub-1.2050 (in usual trading).

hello,
my new account is ready.
i thought about the amount to fund it and so where will be the 100x target.

account is in EUR
shown below actual account conditions i deleted account number only left what is needed to see it is a real account and not a demo.

im thinking to fund it with something around 500€ so target for me will be 50.000€. i will decide during this week.

i dont understand very well about withdraws: i will surely withdraw from that account if i will have profits. but then those withdraws are discounted or do we consider the whole P/L?
i mean: my starting equity 500. let's suppose end of 2012 my profits are 49.500 but my withdraws are 20.000. do we consider target reached 50.000 or do we consider the equity at 30.000?
thank you.

As you are still not sure about what your starting equity will be.. make sure you decide it and let us know after funding the account. If not read yet, make sure you have read all the rules & esp. rule "N" & "O" (esp. if you gonna use the MT4 Screenshot option for publishing)
Thereafter let us know the details, so that i can change your status.

As regarding, effect of withdrawals on profit/target stats, read the details of "Multiplication Factor" in the Legend of stats, in main post. Its incorporated in calculations already.
Hope that helps!

ok challenge starts.
founded account 400€ net equity 393 or so.
broker fxpro, lev 1:500 (will change it if/when equity will be 5k)
i will post statement tomorrow morning at funding approval.
trading method involves mixed scalpings+pick n'run+fast swings (1-2 days). actually me no med term (more than 3-4days) and no long term but who knows?! sometimes a scalp becomes a 3months trade. lol

target 40.000€ could reach it in 1year or in 3years or never.
lol also in 2months, who knows?!

main problem will be to reach 2k (imo, minimum ideal trading equity) since actually will trade with 0.1 - 0.2 lots
0.1 lots = avg 0,79€ x pip. 393/0,79= 500pips max stop loss
to double account will need something like 400-800 net pips profits.

i will trade with only this account for 1month (until 10.02.2012)
prefered currency GBP. others EUR AUD CHF
if after 1month i won't reach my first target (around 2k equity), i will probably leave this challenge and re try after my trading method will be re-tested.

so: let's see

Alright.. Info updated..You are good to roll.
Reads like a good plan. Best of luck

@Participants
14th account martyred (last week) . Equity @ 1.22
Was up once >2 times. Was building up longs sub 1.27 in EU for a big good 1.28 target (100 odd pips) Stopped out for some 5-6 pips around daily lows
Would have been up 40 times. Waited for it.. but didn't capitalize...highly disappointed with THIS account's trading.
Cya later. (Been stuck with some domestic issue too; "Conventional-less-risky" trading suffering too)

EURCHF
As expected inching lower. Has hit a new 16-Weekly low @ 1.2061
Overall the basic view remains the same
1.2050+/- 5 zone was not hit....to be exact.

Looking at the PA down here...
IMO,
- 1.2044 is next .
- As before, 1.2020 thereafter, if breaks above without much hesitation
- Next "MAY" be a Peg retest.
- To be "sanely" logical enough, No shorts for me below 1.2050's, except if i hear a POLICY/Stance change.
- Those Shorting here @ sub 1.2060's with big/no stops prolly should get ready to get their "lower-mid-Posterior region" kicked.....HARD....... sooner or later!
- Placed Multiple-Buy-limits-zone lowered a bit to range of .. sub-1.2045 to sub-1.20

As per your PM too, as i explained,
though deposits are not allowed, under Rule "L". I have modified Rule "L" to allow deposits but P/L at time of deposit will not be carried over to next attempt. Starting equity plus/minus that Floating P/L would be added to "Net P/L" field in stats for the same.... else attempt & P/L stats can be skewed with deposits, at any time!

I am still awaiting for information on your Equity or Floating P/L @ the time of deposit. (You also haven't replied to the PM sent >2 days ago; 2nd Just Sent).

I won't ask .... happens! Good you are back above water level!

BUT as far as i can see, you started with "MT4 screen-shots (History/Statement/Equity graphs)" option for publishing your results.
(as in your enrolling post)
If you want to use Myfxbook, confirm the same here and post the link of your myfxboook publisher account, just like others, so that i can update the same in main post.

Yeah...
IMO Just a hearsay analogy . I believe profitable are even <5%.
Further there is a good %age of breaking even traders too (many passionate, hard-working wanna-be's). I would put <90% as losing ones

Prolly you didn't go through the whole thread. Anyway you or any other trader is good to enroll with an account you are already trading (Its an open challenge for all to compete with others) BUT your current equity would be taken as the starting equity, not the one from past.
If have more doubts, feel free to PM me

My update:
Picked up good longs on GBPCHF (still in)
Currently up some 85+ pips, though looking at some minor retrace next week, except if SNB does some gaffe relating to peg or jordan's wife is also trading dollars

Multiplication factor :4.031

Myfxbook screenshots are not permissible and never mentioned as an option to publish account stats and trades.
The following has been clearly mentioned in the main post
Quote
Publish your equity & trades, every weekend. Use any option: (1) FF's Trade explorer (2) Myfxbook (3) MT4 screen-shots (History/Statement/Equity graphs) (see Rule 'O'). Those using options (1) or (2) need not post weekend updates (Just make sure publisher is connected properly,at least, every weekend)
At max, you can hide your position sizes, TP's & SL's in FF's Trade Explorer AFAIK. Probably in Myfxbook too. Though i am neither sure about the reasons to hide such stats too and nor want to know.
