Quote from oilfxpro:

I once watched a Kama Sutra cartoon , with Kama showing his acts with his woife by aim for target in mid air on one chandelier and the missus on another chandelier.Now Jack's thousand pages can be put on less than 6 pages , a lot of words are like snake oil , a few words say a lot.



Just go to the one pagers I posted on each application of PEP and code them and use the code to trade.

If you need the code corrected e mail it to me. We have techies here.

Only about 1 percent of traders are consistently profitable over several years, and investors who trade more frequently tend to underperform the market, according to Brad Barber, a finance professor at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management who has done extensive research on the issue.

That's because there are so many outright blow ups it skews the results in favor of the random walker

From this one 1% professional must be subtracted


In retail sector profitability is lower as 1 %

This 1 % is profitable from fortune ... as in lotto ,where
from 10-100 mln operator's exist one ,which won 10-100 $


It it zero summ game ,where retail are dissadvantaged

CONTEST STATISTICS

I'm glad you have recently included weekly updates to the monthly KOM contests.

Another feature that I think would be fun and interesting to keep are statistics for each month's KOM competition:

1) How many active contestants are in the competition for that month.
2) What percentage of contestants made money and lost money.
3) What is the percentage range gain/loss for the overall competition

ex) There were 5,000 eligible traders.
30% Finished positive for the month.
