GZ,

>>if each of us learns a lesson or two about ourselves as a result of our trading in this contest, then everyone will be a winner in real life....

Oh, I agree.
I entered this contest with learning in mind, and in the short duration since its inception I already learned a lot and improved on my poor trading skills.
One of my bigger character flaws that hindered my trading was dealing with closing losing trades. That kind of mistake sent me to last place in the first days of the game.
That was a lesson very quickly learnt, and the positive reinforcements of the losing trades I did close in time later on intensified the learning.
Another fault, one more difficult to conquer, is my lack of discipline, in the meaning following my own advice. I still have to learn not to be thrown off my game plan (shoulda been short continuously from around 1300 had I followed my own advice). Staying too close to the screens never helped my trading, and I have to learn to adhere to my game plan as long as the market agrees with it.

I would like to extend my thanks to the creators of the game, this is both learning and fun.
