I mitigated drawdown a bit in the last week of the last month's contest, ending it with 89K. EUR/CAD was the trade that put me back into game but then neither of GBP/JPY and GBP/NZD worked out as I was trying to apply trend trade management to a range-bound market. But nevermind, a new contest just started today.
Binary Contest
For the first time since since entering this monthly contest four years ago, I managed to win it. I earned about 35K on the fifth day of my September participation and stopped trading right there with equity at about 31K. I was lucky in that there seemed to be no real interest from pursuers to overtake the first place. There was a bit of a battle for the second place but, having wide enough an equity buffer, that didn't affect me.
Dukat Contest
During five quarters of Dukat accumulation, I wasn't always on the top spot. In the last month, stars aligned in the way that benefited me, putting me back into the lead. Luckily, most of the leading contestants decided to keep their Dukats for the next round and/or not gamble away their hard-earned Dukats. The leaderboard remained largely unchanged up until the end of the quarter, which conveniently fell on Saturday, so there was really no speculation left as to how the board would look like on Sunday morning, thus making the decision of whether to keep the Dukats or take the prize an easy one.
I wish all participants good luck, happy trading and great trades in the week ahead!
