sstheso, really excellent results!
Thanks. You are kind. This has taken a lot of time, but I got to discover that there are some really amazing traders out there and that I still have MUCH to learn.
The contest ends at 12 NY time tomorrow.
It will be tough, but I actually think I might be able to finish in the top 10.

This is just for fun. The risks taken are extremely high.
I got creamed last night and dropped to #71. But fought may way back valiantly today...

Pretty awesome two Futures.io members are in top 10!. Fingers crossed I can place at least top 3 but ANYTHING can happen tomorrow and the amount of luck needed is insane. Just this morning i was in 150th place!

Congratulations!!! You have had quite a run.
Yes, there is a big luck factor here since proper risk management doesn't seem to be part of the equation as we all sprint madly toward the finish line.
$2,500 may be yours tomorrow afternoon!

And FIO 's very own @Nostar123 placed #2 out of 1400+ entrants!
Great work man! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
(I ended in the #13 spot)
Fun competition. Now back to some real trading with proper risk management.
I am trying to take the very same CME Micros from $1000 to $5000 (see my journal ). Lots of work to do.

Thank you! I definitely broke some trading rules but you pretty much had to go gung-ho from the start to even think about making top 10. Overall, it was a very unique and fun experience!

CONGRATULATIONS to both Nostar123 for second place in the contest, and for sstheo for the second place of all the FIO traders!
At some points this week I thought the markets where not moving at all, so pulling $12,435.25 and $8,349.25 in 1 week is awesome!
