I'm about to end the December Trader Contest with the equity of 2K. Despite that, it was another great lesson regarding both discipline and leverage.
I concluded a great year in the Fundamental Analysis Contest with the second place, which I find almost as good as the first place in this contest, at least prize-wise.
The results of the October Technical Analysis Contest were published and I found myself on the 6th place. My AUD/USD prediction missed target by a couple of pips.
The results were also published for the November Strategy Contest where I took the 11th place. There were quite a few disqualifications, mostly due to a lack of required trades, strategy "hibernation" and using an asymmetrical algorithm. It pays to read the rules and gain a clear understanding of the aforementioned terms. Quick explanation: ensure 20 trades per month, don't lower risk of your strategy after hitting a desired equity target, open both BUY and SELL positions on (oppositely) equal terms.
I'd like to thank to Dukascopy for bonus points and prizes and to all DFC members that supported me in the contests!
I wish all participants good luck, happy trading and enjoyable holidays!
