I think there should be a cash prize. Get 10 to 20 ET participants. Let TST keep half the deposits and the other half goes to the first place finish.
Otherwise, what's the point? If you are going to do an ET group combine? They could all just do a combine individually. I just don't see the point of grouping them all together unless I'm missing something here. I think it would be a train wreck having one thread where 20 different ET'ers post about their journals.
I would like to see the trading guidelines more similar to PULSAR's but with following changes: 24 days..trading period...must trade 20 days.... No greater than 2% intraday drawdown on max # contracts.... 3% profit at period end on face amount.... ...................... This could also be 12 days..10 days.... 5..10..15..contracts face.... 4 elected permissible contracts.... Cost $150....
The closest ratio TST vs PUL.. Would be the scout recommended $30,000.. $30,000..3 contracts..$500..risk..$2000 profit ie,, 300,000..3..500..2000 Utilize 100,000..1..500..2000 vs 100,000..1..2000..4000..... Thus it is obvious that the scout recommended could most closely resemble PUL.... And is a good option..... But woulld be better at ..... 100000..1..1000..2000..20 day..... or 100000..1..1000..1000..10 day.....
This has been discussed endlessly. Why not customize a combine to fit exactly Pulsar's requirements? Guys, the customization part of TST is the least controversial aspect of this. You can make up any requirements you want. I'm not sure why this part keeps getting brought up.
