Traders Laboratory Forex Trading Contest!

We would like to have a Forex Trading Contest for the month of March. The contest will be hosted on oanda, one of our sponsors. If we can get at least 10 people interested, Let's do it. The contest will run from March 1st thru March 31st. In order to participate, one must have an oanda demo account. If anyone needs help setting up an oanda demo account, contact me here on the thread. The sooner you sign up, the more time you will have to familiarise yourself with the oanda Platform.
This is for "Bragging Rights" only. But who knows, if it gets popular maybe we can twist MadMarketScientists arm to offer prizes in the future.
The winner will be determined by percentage gain on the account, not $$$ gain,
I will post the results everyday here on the thread. Please use your TL user name as your user name when you sign up for the contest.
On the results page there is no personal information displayed, nor will I as administrator have access to it. You can also withdraw from the contest at anytime.
Anybody Game?

I am posting an image of what a results page looks like.

I have a live one with oanda, so I guess a demo should not be too difficult. But who else is doing this and what balance are we starting with?

So far you're the first Lol. But I expect other will be joining in. Start with any balance you want. It's percentage gain that we're looking for, not Dollar increase.

I guess we scratch this for March. Not enough time left to set it up.
We'll try again in April.

Will participate too.

I have a few constraints, but will be fun to be involved in a challenge. There may be a conflict with my live trades at the same time as demo.

When I am in a trade, it has my undivided attention, so the comp. will be secondary.

I could overcome this by switching to a different TF for the comp trades, so this will be a great learning opportunity at the same time.

Will open the a/c in next few days and get some practice using the platform, so it won't be too much of a learning curve in April.

Cheers
