Trading Matters Challenge

floppys_mum · 12 February 2008

Why is it that they spoke to the person coming 6th and not shown on the leader board, last night on Trading matters instead of talking to one of the top 5, and if they took cash off everyones total to make it fair, how did these people manage to go up on a down market?

tigerboi · 12 February 2008

here it is trendsetters,the game is not over however heres where i tipped a

smokey not in the top 10 to take out the prize,ALANMCG2.....

GO MATE ....TB

the best way to find how you went is add up your gains minus your losses so

tjchebs gains were $153,703....losses $76,561.....profit...$77,142....

i see there is now a limit of 25 trades a day,mmmmm

i would like to see the top 10 trading history until then im not convinced it

was all above board,re:trading after close in off market trades, i simply dont

believe the top 10 is that much better than say the next 20 players,for

example in the holidays ron brown fell way back to 130th then right into the

top 10 very quickly......as for the winner it will be whoever leaves their buy

windows open & catches the most off market trades from 4.10 onwards to

then get the huge gains in the morning,thats how it done folks the gains

you thought nah how has he gone from from there to here in quick time,

thats why the top 10 wont post trading histories,times will show off market

trading,anyway i will throw a curly one in by going for 12th place ALANMCG2

if he gets a start in the finals,he has been probably the most consistent

right from the start,always around 12th-15th...good luck in the finals,..tb

Hi Floppys Mum.

I'm watching the top 200 companies (for the ASX game) and a few have gone up in the past week. MYOB has gone up 15% since I started watching, and there's 3 others that have gone up between 5 & 10%. So it's not impossible to go up at the moment.

cheers

For my own improvement I would like to know what system you use. Could you tell me if you use a live charting platform other than Etrade or Commsec like MetaStock ot Trade Station.

No I keep it very simple Blaze, I use ETrade Pro, and for charting an inexpensive program call FCharts for my overnight charts. I keep my indicators very simple...support, resistance, and volume mainly.

Hrrmm...Blaze Trader....Cool Trader...wouldn't be related by any chance would you...

Thanks Spider61 and good luck for the next few days.
No I am not Cool Trader but have you noticed that he is the only one in the top 5 who hasn't ever been identified. Strage or what?? Keep ahead of that guy just in case there is something funny going on.

Hey mouse you working up a strategy to win the ASX game? I think that I will use the red dart green dart method of selection. Any of my other strategies seem to have been shot down in flames this past month! I presume that a new thread will be set up so that players can bait each other, and complain about the ever changing rules.

trillionaire#1 · 14 February 2008

The final day beckons and looks like a congrats to our fellow ASFer, ALANMCG2.i can already picture your chrome domos reflecting from the carbonfibre dash inserts seriously well done to you and mikat and anybody else from here on making final 20 from maybe 30000 people.

hey im coming third today on asf february comp!....

BlazeTrader · 14 February 2008

Don't congratulate too soon. I have always said that Cool Trader will myseriously land in the number 1 position and I haven't changed that prediction.

tigerboi · 15 February 2008

thousand,go you good thing what a tip!!20/1 shot....mikat has finally awoken

You betcha freddie, I have my strategy all planned and am just fine tuning it in the weeks ahead.

I've slipped back to 2nd this morning, I'm sure one of the other leaders must have had AED overnight and that's catapulted them back in front. I have no idea how far behind I am, but all I can do is keep on battling.

Cheers

Either that or something funny is going on. Maybe my prediction about Coooool Trader is coming to fruition. Hang in there 'ol mate.

mikat · 15 February 2008

highest spot for me is position 7 on thursday,but an all or
nothing approach on the last day cost me big time, and im back to 12
its too bad the organisers , despite taking money from some of the top players, didnt eliminate them like they said they would. they penalised players 3 times, for maipulating the real market for a gain in the comp. they know who it was, took money away, and they did it again, and again. im sure one of the "cool"traders,
when he wins will be happy for himself, but he obviously doent have any morals if he or she has been cheating.
and the organisers shoud have had some balls and eliminated the ones that they knew were cheating.

As I don't have cnbc I guess I'll not know who won this crazy competition. Roll on the 21st feb for the asx game, and we will do it all over again! Given the **** day today was, I probably would have loaded up on stocks in the hope that the market will rise on monday.

blind freddie · 15 February 2008

Hey Micat comiserations. Maybe a nice cappuccino and a wicked desert will ease the pain a little!

trillionaire#1 · 15 February 2008

And the winner is ..........................:dunno:

blind freddie · 15 February 2008

I want to see a picture of winner in car wearing a very big grin!

HeHeHeHe,

After they changed the rules to 25 trades it was obvious that the player with the deepest pocket and the most guts would win.
Should have left it the way it was, then everybody had an even chance.

floppys_mum · 16 February 2008

The people that deserved to win were already eliminated from the comp,
they weren't cheating!! they were playing the game!

Lucky for the final 20 they threw the innocent players out other wise the best man or woman could have won

But i think there is a lesson learnt for everyone in this, there is no such thing as a fair comp, especially for a prize that big, and if cnbc get away with this there is no justice either.

As for a photo of the winner? they can pay me and i will have my photo taken with the car and a big grin on my face and noone will know the difference!
If trading finished on Friday at 4pm why didn't they announce the winner? They had plenty of time to tell us if the show is filmed live at 5pm!
