What would the top prize have to be to get you to submit your 1 month, 1 year, etc. auditable returns, for a winner take all, best % net gain, w/or wo leverage? And how much would you bet you were the winner? Ok lets pay out at least even too the top half. What would it take?
The winner of such a contest would undoubtedly be someone who simply risked a great deal (too much) and got lucky. Consistency is the measure of a good trader. You would need quite a few data points for the results to be worth anything. It would require a contest spanning years. Anything less would simply show the trader who achieved the best results on a typical random distribution bell curve. It would be completely random. -Raystonn
