Well if you leave out the extras like coaching it makes it easier on TST. Just a straight trading contest according to their combine rules. TST runs the contest for ET. Contestants are encouraged to keep journals on ET, Surf writes about it. Top 3 get offers from TST either for funding or a free real combine if they insist on doing it their way, plus MP can cherry pick among the rest. The TST-ET Turtle Combine Contest.
My example wasn't hypothetical. It actually happened. NY Giants beat the TB Bucs last Sunday 41-34. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore?gid=20120916019 Manning 3 INTs --> 3 TDs for Bucs. Manning not benched. Manning not sent to the NFL Combine. Manning throws 510 yards. Giants win. Good game. I saw it.
We just want you to test drive the Combine. We are not going to laugh at you if you don't pass. It's all about the Combine.
I'm 100% committed to doing this with you Mav. Let me know when you are ready to start. It will be a blast, I'm looking forward to trading under scrutiny, and it will provide great fodder for an article.
In my opinion this idea is way bigger than TST or even ET. Although they should both benefit from TST's brilliant concept ---I see it as way to revitalize day trading, to bring interest back to the business, to make it interesting once again. Like Mav says, once this goes viral, not only will everyone involved benefit, the business ( we all love) wil get a must needed adrenalin injection. surf
Aaaah cooltraderdude, I think you feel your trading with no plan is can make you money is really the same like you feel you have superior genes. Be careful with the big ego. But good luck! Only luck is part. Just like is only luck to be born in the USA with so much wealth and freedoms.
Yes that is true. That is why we say minimize the amount of products you trade. Its smart to do this as you stay very intune with the product you are trading which is key. mp
People have been on my case about trading without a plan... So let me reply to that... There is a huge difference between objective probability and subjective probability the market is definitely in the subjective probability category. For those who do use plans I suggest Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets by Nassim Nicholas Taleb... http://www.amazon.ca/Fooled-Randomness-Hidden-Chance-Markets/dp/0812975219 ...or... you can get a synopsis here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fooled_by_Randomness In my experience every plan that I've ever had went out the window... So I don't bother with them anymore... If I had a plan it would be ABC... That's "Always Be Cutting"... I play a game with the market somewhere in between "hot potato" and "chicken"...
