April Trading Contest Winners

April 30, 2007 by Trader Rich 

The 2 week April trading contest ended today and the winner, Dumb Luck, ended with a return of 34.82%.  Dumb Luck's maximum drawdown during this period was -17.20% which if classified under the May trading contest rules would put him in the aggressive category.  Nick also finished with a stellar return of 29.51% with a max drawdown of -17.99%.  More impressive was RotcaX whose return was 21.29% but his max drawdown was only -4.20%.  

If I were to use the rules for the the upcoming May contest, the following traders would have been the winners. 

Best Aggressive Traders:

  1. Dumb Luck  34.82%
  2. Nick  29.51%

Best Conservative Traders:

  1. show me the money  6.79%
  2. Reno  3.37% 

Best Money Managers:

  1. RotcaX  21.29%
  2. Milton  3.76%
  3. Netman  1.99%

Other Notables:

  1. Blackday 9.40%
  2. Qlaun 4.57%
  3. Frank Gamwell .51%

I know it's just a demo account but congratulations.  I didn't do so well with a loss of -6.93% and a maximum drawdown of -4.40%.

    Yes - OANDA FX Demo accounts. This month it gets aggressive … there’s abook token up for grabs ;)

    Thought I try a ever so slightly different approach for May (at least for the early trades … a IFR Thompson Financial trade recommendation GBP/USD Buy break of 2.0060 SL 1.9975 - bugger it!)

    NB* No1 in the Notables :)

    Any of you trade CFDs? Heard US Americans can’t … still options-only time. Sweeter for the smart money.
