Yes I'm in!

I also think the account should be fresh with no custom start date applied.

Start a fresh trading account and show all the account history (except initially I may hide TPs and SLs).

I will show balance and lots etc but at the end of the day I think the most important part is to show the max DD and the account growth.

Lets see how we all do and thanks for starting this thread JustUsePrice a nice idea.

Questions:

What happens to a trader who exceeds the maximum floating DD limit set at 10%?

Are they permanently out forever?

I think if you allow them to come back again then it makes it difficult to follow the leading traders (whoever they might be).

I suppose you could apply a maximum number of attempts per trader ..... up to you.

What is your take on this situation?

{quote} Would be amazing to see you active in this challenge, your out puts are always welcome, you are one the very few down to earth traders in this factory ............
Many thanks for the compliments Rcubic.

Great to see you involved.

I'm keen to see how many traders participate in this "friendly" but personally competitive challenge.

I'll be using a TE and also myfxbook to track the trading analytics.

Lets see how it turns out.

Best of trading to everyone.

This challenge will seperate the men from the boys. I would defiantly like to participate, but I'm not sure why it is starting half way through the month. I won't have a problem following the draw down restrictions part of the rules. But sooner or later I'll have a month and won't hit the 10% target. I plan on opening a new account with a new broker soon anyway - do participants have to start tomorrow or is it alright to start on the first of September?

I also tend to think like this with starts from the 1st trading day of a new month creates much tidier looking trading account analytics.

Including as you say the full month to produce hopefully at least a 10% gain whilst remaining below a 10% DD.

Not sure if the thread OP wants to wait though although he has suggested a 5% gain for half a month.

ps. you could always start this Monday and crack the 10% growth and really pack on the pressure for everyone else!

pps. I do like a clean start in a new month though ... no argument from me ...

ppps. I guess there is nothing stopping you from starting in September in any case!

Maybe we should all start from Monday and target 5% for this month just as the OP intends to. Then starting from the first of next month, we revert to the initial 10% gain rule...

However Im down to just wait...

If a trader hits > 10% DD, then they are out for the month. If they choose to come back, they need to come back the start of the next month. I am going to follow baseball rules here. 3 strikers and you are out permanently

Not sure what you are posting.

The benefit form this challenge is to practice self discipline and try to be profitable while keeping DD under 10%

Hmm, it seems like the majority of traders wanting to participate would like to start at the beginning of the month. So be it. Lets start September first, but you are free to start trading now if you wish, but analytics will start September first. Again, this is a self challenge and it is meant to improve one's discipline and not meant to be a competition really. As such, I did not quite think of the all the rules and numbers (as you can easily tell by the lack of organization). It seems like alot of traders are competitive and wish to make this more of a friendly competition at the same time, which is quite interesting to me too. For this to happen, I need a way to keep track of all participants in the challenge. This is something again I didn't really think of. Any suggestions?

What about linking the TEs of all participants to this thread? Or create a separate thread only for the TEs, because a lot of linked TEs would skew the layout of the page (would require lots of scrolling).

Here is an example that some might find interesting in terms of FX trading gains month on month and year on year (Jan 2011 through July 2016). It is a random example and I certainly have no connection or interest in it whatsoever. It is a registered CTA Advisor and trading company (Futures and Forex mainly) I am sure there are many many more examples that could be discussed. {image} {image} Source: http://www.qtscm.com/managed-accounts/ The stated historical account leverage ranges from 1 to 13. Also the account is traded by automation...

I think those hedge funds are using max 1:3 leverage.

And lol nobody can achieve such results with a 10% rdd, not over the long term.
