Dest's "Trade Against a Pro" Trading Challenge

Discussion in 'Journals' started by destriero, Dec 1, 2019.

  1. @wrbtrader Awesome! Yeah that’s gotta be amazing... they turn off the lights right at the beginning right? Sometimes with a mini laser show it seems. Then that song comes on and you know Jordans waiting in the wings. Shieeeeeet. Total goosebump moment I imagine. Chills.

    @comagnum yes I’ve seen that. It was actually a year long but it’s still amazing!
    “... In 1987, Larry Williams won the year-long World Cup Championship of Futures Trading® “. Right from the website. I’ve seen a chart for his returns on that he actually got up to around 2 million before taking some significant losses (if I recall correctly). There is some controversy around his results as I understand it though.

    Anyway...

    Yeah, I had heard that clip a year earlier prior to the basketball game as an introduction to an astronomy show but it was edited (not as impressive).

    Chicago did it at the basketball game in a way that was impressive but most likely due to the atmosphere involving those participating in the game and the spotlight as a playoff game. Walking into the arena, my brother said the theme song will get you but he didn't have a name for it. Then when I heard it...I knew exactly what it was and the arena had better acoustics then that concert.

    OK, so I have 32K and change in the taxable, and 73K in the IRA. I couldn't wait so I've been trading a bunch of futs and ops. Up ~$1,400 in my accounts.

    Yeah, they turn off the lights and play the AP Project and the light show results in the bulls logo on the jump circle.

    I shorted ES when it was up 1.50. I was babysitting the queue in ZB and GC. I have a small position in ES options as well. Up $1,518.
