Elite Traders, let's see what you're made of! Out of everyone on ET, who made the best single VERIFIED trade of 2009? What was it and how did they do it? If enough people are interested I'll post some simple guidelines so we're all on the same page. I'm thinking keep it simple with a chart showing entry and exit arrows with date, time and price. Narrative optional. Then we vote on a winner who has to PROVE to Baron they made the trade or be disqualified. Of course it's not my place to volunteer Baron on his website but I don't think he'd mind if this generated enough interest. This is more about trading well than who made the single highest grossing trade. But with that said, there should still be a profit minimum to keep it real. Your thoughts? $10K? $5K? $1K? Who would like to compete? Suggestions for guidelines?
Best should be highest grossing trade in shortest time frame. Second should be highest grossing trade in under a week. Third should be highest grossing trade in 1 year.
That would work for a trading contest where everyone started with a fixed amount but not everyone on ET has the same account size. Doesn't look like there's much interest in posting a verifiable trade so it may be a moot point...
