What's great about the "experiment" is you can choose any 10 days out of 30. No need to be consecutive. Not to mention, you can trade simultaneously with your real account. Many are doing that. If you have a real job, other than trading, I understand why you can't do this.
So not only is it a paper trading combine, you only have to trade 1 out of every 3 days? What a joke. Have fun buddy
Maybe someone will consider blowing out TST by trading the some illiquid futures out a year or two. Sell Dec13 cable futures at TST and buy in your personal account. What's to keep someone from raping them on a single trade? Perhaps promoting the simultaneous trading of both accounts isn't such a good idea.
I am sure that it's monitored. A guy at a fund that rhymes with "pewter" took them for $650k in like 5 mins of trading.
I'm just a sales guy, Humble trader & writer:::: i leave the high finance to friends like Atticus. surf
