February 2008 Trading Simulator Contest - win a trading book

[Thierry Martin]

I have set up another trading simulator for February - 1st prize, 2nd and 3rd prizes are trading books. The first prize winner will also have his win displayed under his name in the forum.

Once you join, you won't have to rejoin every month, I'll just reset the contest at the end of every month back to the $100,000 for everyone.

If you already played in previous competitions, you already have an account and your can join the January contest with the same username and password by going here. If you have forgotton the game password, which you need to join the January contest, just email me and I will send it to you.

If you are new to the simulator, you can join at anytime up. This thread will be used to discuss the game and post updates on the standings.

You start with $100,000 and you can trade stocks long or short. Whoever has the highest amount at the close of trading on February 29, 2008 wins.

The trading simulator/contest is open only to registered members of this forum. (Registering is free!)

Send me a private message and I will send you the link and password for your free sign up.

I believe you can, with brokers such as Interactive Brokers, for example.

Please use the help or support links in the simulator to solve problems.

So I lost the contest with Marl, and I promised I would send MaryKay the cash value of the DVD/Book she wanted and give the DVD/Book to the winner of the monthly contest. It's "Unlocking the Profits of the New Swing Chart Method
By: Cooper, Jeff; Reif, Dave" and it's a great course. I've known Jeff for 25yrs, since NYU in the late 70's and he was kind enough to autograph the book, and by the time the contest is over maybe get Dave to autograph it too.
I will make it the prize for the march contest so I can try to keep it.

Good Luck, and may the best Trader win.
