    Nothing comes from nothing here. What is your angle here? What do you hope to gain from this obvious attempt at what we cannot yet determine? And if we "win", how will you send us this $50 grand prize? Will you require our name, street address and date of birth? This is so abnormally fishy the smell is reaching down to Cape Cod. Hideousness!



    I honestly do not know why you pre-ambled this "challenge" with "I have recently become a profitable futures trader"...That is a loaded statement. Dude, so have I, but I took a break to KEEP my profits because I messed up. Discretion is the better form of valor and all that jazz. Man, this could become a popcorn thread. I guess the dog days of August don't HAVE to be boring in the ET meta-verse. :)

    Fine, I'll try your challenge. I'm bored waiting for Q3 to settle down. ES, max 2 contracts? Hmm, how hard can it be?

    Whoops, I already see a problem with your terms. We cannot trade 2 contracts on the ES with 10K. The initial margin for 2 ES contracts at the CME is $12,760 currently. So unless you up the account value limit, the contest is invalid.

  6. Margin is implied when limit is 2, he’s just looking at ending dollar value.

    Well, it is invalid. We cannot trade 2 contracts of ES with 10K in the account.
