Traders Laboratory Forex Trading Contest!

Not the same party at all, a pity.

But don't let one black swan fool you :)

 

 

Too bad ... it's not the same party without Ingot!

 

But thanks for the heads up - I had better get trading then, as kuokam has proven to be quite the champion trader! I'm going to see if I can rustle up some early pips ...

Ingot! I thought you were a brother? Now you are abandoning this sick and lame baby antelope to hungry agile cheetahs in the plain :frustrated:.

 

Pater noster qui est in caelis...

Prayers will not help you (in trading matters).

 

And I can not.

 

You are better to converse directly with God than to waste time on His disciples!

 

Aides toi et le ciel t'aidera!

 

No one is more unhappy than I, about missing this contest - it is what I asked for ... and I could have entered using the standard platform. account.

 

But I didn't want to have 2 entries under different names - that would have been construed as an attempt to cheat. No one wants that to happen.

 

Anyway - I might trade along with a shadow account myself, once I find out how to access the platform under my other username (that Oanda forced me to register). They will not allow you to operate a MT4 practice account as well as a standard practice account, by using the same username.

 

It's just how they do it, and I don't think they could have foreseen this.

Ni dieu ni maître

 

I no longer have a god to converse with, since I made all them redundant years ago.

Now I have but myself for help, and a few mates, like Ingot.

Seems to me - Holiday Season notwithstanding - that the 2-month contest is working extremely well.

 

Take care today and Monday - end-of-year squaring of the books for hedge funds and institutions could skew things quite a lot.

 

Good luck all for the second leg of this.

I have only followed this contest and the previous one - is it pretty normal for Optiontimer to rank highly?

ps. it's a genuine question to save me trawling the entire thread, not an attempt to antagonize anyone!

I have usually done ok, but that has come to an end. I just discovered this morning that after I put a trade on yesterday, in my haste to get back to real business, I exited the fxgame without setting my profit limit order or my stop loss. The trade went against me, and without a stop loss what should have been a 2.1% loss has turned into huge loss of all of December's profits and a significant portion of the starting equity. So I will not rank highly at all for the balance of this contest.

 

Good luck to the other traders!

That is disappointing, OT - however, you have nothing left to prove, imho.

 

Your consistency is incredible, and I really think if you wanted to, you could come back and street the competition even with the handicap you endured ... unless you have surpassed the DD limit.

 

Well done, regardless.

Thanks for your response. Possibly more amazing than your performance is your modesty!

 

And hard lines on the stop-loss . . .

Ohh Dear Optiontimer, I am so disappointed for you. Shows that market is ready to take it back any time there is any opportunity - even from the best of us. I would still very much like to find out how a +40% is achieved within such a short time. It is an Amazing accomplishment!

 

Thank you Optiontimer for your generous sharing.

 

I agree with Ingot. The contest is only at midpoint.

    • Date: 3rd June 2024. OPEC+ Announces Gradually Higher Supply and NVIDIA a New Accelerator.     Oil declines as the European Cash Open edges closer. Oil prices have fallen for 4 consecutive days measuring almost 4.00%. OPEC+ members advise the group will have the option to not continue voluntary cuts from September onwards. All US and global indices start Monday’s trading higher after a poor end to May 2024. The bullish price gap illustrates a potential “risk-on” market. NVIDIA announces its next generation of accelerator chips and promises annual upgrades. NVIDIA stocks are already trading 0.55% higher in pre-trading hours. USOil (Crude Oil) – Voluntary Cuts May Gradually Fade! The price of Crude Oil fell almost 4.00% in the last 3 days of last week due to the OPEC+ meeting. The meeting is now at an end and journalists are pointing out 2 key points. The first, is that the OPEC+ group will keep limitations on production as it has since COVID-19. The second, is that countries which have voluntarily added additional cuts will have the option to reduce these cuts from September onwards. According to analysts, the market should not necessarily “overreact”, because if OPEC+ increases supply, it will only be gradual. Additionally, analysts also advise the group will only look to re-introduce production if the market conditions allow it to. Nonetheless, traditionally, additional supply is known by analysts to apply downward pressure on commodities. This is something which can also be seen over the past week, but investors will be keen to see the price drop below the support level.   The support level has been a key psychological level for investors throughout the month of May, specifically on 3 occasions. The price is currently trading below the 50.00 on the RSI and below most longer-term Moving Averages. If the price declines below the 65.00 Fibonacci level at $76.70 per Barrel, momentum will signal possible further decline. USA100 – NVIDIA Announces a New Accelerator Chip! The NASDAQ struggled within the previous week and at one point was down more than 3.00%. However, a large surge of buyers towards the end of Friday’s session saw a strong rebound and the index also trades higher during today’s Asian session. The NASDAQ is currently being influenced by 3 factors. However, investors will also give importance to the pricing of rate adjustments after the US employment data. The first factor prompting investors to increase tech-stock exposure is NVIDIA. The CEO of the company has again advised the technology and AI market will continue to grow and become more aggressive. In addition to this, Mr Huang advised NVIDIA is releasing a new accelerator chip and promises more within the upcoming year. A second positive factor for not only the NASDAQ, but global indices, is most analysts believe the European Central Bank will lower interest rates for the first time in the current cycle. If more global banks decide to reduce the restrictiveness of their monetary policy, stocks will become more attractive. However, only if the move is not a response to potential economic contraction. Lastly investors are also taking advantage of the lower entry point and feel an improved sentiment as Oil prices are declining. Investors hope lower oil prices will apply less upward pressure on inflation.   If the price rises above $18,638.83 the price will form a bullish breakout pattern which indicates upward movement. However, for a stronger and longer-term bullish trend, investors will be keen for the price to increase above the 75-Bar EMA and 100-Bar SMA. These two moving averages are currently priced at $18,658.28 and $18,733.30. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
