    I can find everything on youtube or on the internet about amazing traders that won this allegedly prestigious competition made from a genius that made an adult journal about natural beautiful women, according to his wikipedia page, but not what is the typical day of who participates to this competition. A documentary, an idea of what they do, where they meet, do they trade from home or all together? Is a real thing, there is room for cheating, can they use leverage, can they trade only nasdaq or NYSE? Derivatives? In other terms as a trader I want to know if is worthy to learn from who wins this competition or if is something different by the real world.

    Some of them have written books about their methods.
    Like Mark Minervini, but most traders don't read such books.

    Gee, that took all of 3 bloody seconds of looking. Don't pay to join an online searching competition.

  8. Family gatherings(Brothers and sisters, ex) or investing? It’s painful choice but I will take investing.

    LOL/NO one said this would be easy:D:D. Also have to consider a big % of trading contesters blow up, excess leverage can do that easy.
    Actually I have a wise sister\ but she sent me a birthday card not to long ago with picture, of about 5-7 sparklers on it , instead of candles:caution::caution:.
    I also like Jim Cramer's book[Jim Cramer's Real Money ]with his hedge fund comment to the question .Are you a trader or investor ?? " Jim Cramer noted ''I don't even like that question'' LOL:D:D
    Great quote.
