David, question for you. So if a person signs up as a daytrader, would they be allowed to hold a position overnight, if they so choose? Quite the list of participants. peter

David, Enter me as a Position Trader One question: Can a position trader daytrade once or twice a day...do all our trades have to be held overnight? If I take a position in the morning and close out at noon and reenter at 3:00 would that be acceptable. Chip Ps. Hope you don't have to vacate your home to grant the award! <<smile>>

I see that I'm already listed but I did want to post to you so it would be official..... I do have one question... are all the futures markets eligible for trading or is this exclusive only to the SP's? BTW, does anyone have the link to qcharts since that's the market we'll be following for the SP's? Thanks in advance..... GZ

< 3. Rules and Guidelines - > I love it...... =================== I had a much more flavorful response but some Charity called in the middle of my post. They called the wrong number, then quickly switched gears into hitting me up for Cash. Completely distracted me, can you believe these people actually think they can cold call people like this? In New Jersey, they get get a cut of whatever I send in....Now I send it in to the Catholic Church, Inner City Schools, whatever. These dogs want to know why I won't send in another thousand to "Childrend Burned In a Knife Fight Wit' Dere Ol' Man who wuz carrin' a kan o' kerosene at da' time" Well I'll tell you why..... First, they fouled up my well considered Post...... Second, They take at least 55% off the top. So the kid gets less than 45 cents on the dollar. If you ever get a phone call like that, believe it.....the guy on the other end of the call isn't all that philantropic.

David, Thought I would post publically that I have also joined the contest in the positional category. I am going to be gone tomorrow and next week and Tom has agreed to trade my system for me while I am away. I hope that does not cause any difficulty. There should only be a couple of trades so it should be easy tracking. If any are losers I will deny all knowledge of this agreement and Tom will gladly accept the losses in his account. Thanks. See you all in a week.... -Scott

Bull RidaH, I am going to pull out of the contest. Next couple of months are going to be to busy for me to pay to close of attention, so it makes more sense for me to hand the baton to the next in line. Jorj

David, I need a ruling. I sold 12 @ 1277.25, then exited all twelve in 2 lots.....one for six, then another for 6 on a Stop. But the original Post for the Entry is gone. I guess I must have typed over it in error. What would the ruling be? Message 11635906
