Dest's "Trade Against a Pro" Trading Challenge

They STILL trade with real money in that competition.

I don't think there was any controversy about Larry's returns that year -- just that he took a lot of risk.

 

I recommend that you study this material in detail:

Up 7% and (almost) flat. I have to catch a flight to DAL so I won't be trading today. F.

 

I can trade the taxable today so I bought a 5-lot asym-fly neutral to SPX 3130. Again, shooting for $30K on the week. $22K remaining (+8%). Gotta run.

 

I cracked the top 50

 

Hopefully you can improve and Elitetrader.com can get a member on the leader board by the end of the challenge.

Also, take a look at #5 tuong on the leader board. That's the first time I've ever seen someone that trades HE (Lean Hogs) land on the leader board any time within a challenge.
