You're in, dVl. Good luck, and I hope you get the million, or at least the 50K you came for, at any rate.

Re: The Race

No trades for me either. There was a long on the ES, but I was away from my desk when it both signaled and triggered. The 6E had several signals that either did not trigger, or had a far too large stop loss to even trade one contract.

My schedule over the next several weeks has really filled up today, and it looks like I may be done with trading until after the end of May, except for next Wednesday, and possibly this Friday AM. If I fall too far behind Sicko I'll post up the extra $600 or so I need to bring the balance back to 3K so as to resume trading 2 lots. In the mean time, I will still be participating in the thread and putting together the weekly summaries. If I do manage to get some trades in, I will post the statements, otherwise, as per the rules, no trades, no statements.

Best Wishes,

Thales

Will you guys consider extending the projected end date?
I think I'll be willing to keep slugging away so long as no one has hit the million dollar mark, so while I do think it may be possible for someone to get there in twenty weeks, I think odds favor an extension.

Best Wishes,

Re: The Race

I enjoy the race aspect, but for me I will keep on going to a mil no matter if the race ends or not. Over the years I have seen numerous threads that one needs 5K, 20K, or 50K to start trading. I would like myself and others to prove that false. I am posted as starting the Race at $941, but the week before I only had about $620 in this account, so perhaps it could be an event that helps others to think a bit differently. At the same time, I could blow this out and be forced to posting to this site through a proxy.

Re: The Race

I, too, will keep doing this until I succeed. I enjoy the challenge and, as crazy as it sounds, turning $1k to $1mil isn't even my most ambitious or seemingly impossible life goal...

Re: The Race

You guys realize the very volatility needed to even sniff 1mil is the same volatility a small account should avoid?.. May give it a shot..
