[HedgeBitcoin]

Sounds interesting .

The chance to manage money is no longer possible. You can join Darwinex or GenesisVision if that suits you

Hi,
I am new for this forum & thanks for your post

[bull_2nd]

Hi guys,
in this difficult period with only one rock solid trader in game, I was looking for some new services but it's quite difficult to find a good one. My first check is always related to drawdown. I don't like dd higher than 15% (stated). In my calculation it's the percentage that could be recovered easily to go again in a new equity high. As you know, if you lose 50%, then you must gain 100% to recover, it's math. After it, I check monthly performance. VPS, service fee and so on have a cost. Without a good performance you lose money. There are also other parameters that I check but "safe&gain" are the most important,imho. Nick,FS team, do you think that someone would choose many of the top traders in this contest? I thought the ranking driver would be related to Top Traders but I'd ask to the community which signals would be choosen.. In the top 10, just 2. I think you should check the ranking formula..it's a Top trader contest, not the Less Volatility contest.

Hello,

for the first time I let my profit run with two trades that had big gains: standard deviation increased from 0.634 to 2.170 which is a lot but due to gains, so it's nice

The result is that I am in the 12nd place even having a gain/dd ratio and an absolute gain better than a lot of other competitors ahead me

I suggest to review the ranking method strongly increasing the positive weight of having big right tales in the P/L distribution to not penalize so much who let the profit run

I hope it could help

Hi Dom or Nick - Can USA traders take part in this contest?

Yes, absolutely!

All you need to do is have an account with LMFX

Remember Nadobny, person who got 2nd place in February? Looks like he got an account reset as well? Is this the cool new thing to do when you over-leverage and mess up you draw-down statistic? Close account, re-open fresh one, rinse and repeat? Looks like he hit %19.36 DD in March. Now he's at 1.61% DD on the same account. Reached #1 spot on Global Trader board as well - congrats Nadobny!

There's nothing wrong with an account reset. We all make mistakes

All it really does is put the trader back to the start if they've got aspirations to trade for us.

If you reset during the month then you can't win that month in which the reset was done.

I don't know about that, but I do know you are doing very well and showing good consistency (much better than me - LOL)
Congrats, keep it up.

Hey guys just to clarify this situation with BMM.

BMM has actually hit a fairly substantial drawdown on the DAX which a member of the forum pointed out. For a few days we were looking into this and realized that we were not correctly calculating drawdown on days that had no closed trades AND CFD's were not calculating correctly due to mismatched data in our pricing server. The reason it took so long to fix this is because of making database changes which took 48 hours to actually change. Took so long because we had 75 million rows of price data to adjust which just takes time.

Any way - we've made fixes to this and we checked over last month's results and can confirm that BMM was still ranked where he should be. However, this month due to the large drawdown over the 11th / 12th April - its knocked him down the leaderboard.

BMM has hit me up on PM and wishes to have his stats reset. So to do this he will be opening a new account and removing his current account.

He has said that he's adapted his trading style to conform with our ranking formula - to which I have explained that we do not want people trying to adapt to our fomrula, but simply trade the way they would usually trade. This is really important! The contest isn't here to try and cheat.... we want you to trade your normal way, and we'll award those that do well. We will always be looking to adapt and change our formula to be fairer to all. And even if you don't end up coming 1/2/3rd in a month doesn't mean we aren't tracking your progress and keeping an eye on your trading.
