Futures Trading Contest

Do you guys know of any Futures trading contests that have large prizes. I've been looking around and the few that I saw had very small prizes. Also, which are the prestigious contests to enter (if there are any)? Thanks in advance for the input.

 

no one?

 

PFG has 4 contests this year where the big prize I think is $250,000 in a futures account to manage.

 

Robbins Trading has an annual contest where the participants can elect to kick in money to a prize pool. Keep in mind that the firms that sponsor these things impose "high" commissions on the participants. You're not getting any "free money".

 

what is PFG?

 

yeah I was wondering the same thing.

 

A broker.

 

I believe you have to open an account for the PFG contest and maybe the minimum is $50,000.

The firm's link is www.pfgbest.com

 

They're a pretty big Chicago FCM......

 

Here is the contest link at PFG:
