Congratulations to the winners of the Big Mike Challenge 2015:

1st place - @GFIs1, a $250 Amazon gift card
2nd place - @rahulgopi, a $200 Amazon gift card
3rd place - @bobwest, but he removed himself from the contest
3rd place - @6MillionDollarMan, a $150 Amazon gift card
4th place - @iqgod, a $100 Amazon gift card
5th place - @PeakGrowth, a $50 $100 Amazon gift card

@PeakGrowth and @iqgod were actually both tied for 4th place, so I decided to increase the 5th place price from $50 to $100 for a total of $800 in prizes, so that @PeakGrowth and @iqgod would receive equal prices for equal positions in the contest.

I will be contacting the winners via PM shortly.

Mike

WOW!
Never thought to be in top 3 - and now I see number ONE...

Thanks @Big Mike for the contest and prizes.
As well many thanks to my longtime followers who are interested
and eventually voted in this thread.

This contest shows how much a journal can be fruitful for own development as
well as staying very focused.
Over time updating the journal on regular base keeps the personal trading structured.
I can only recommend every trader who is serious - to open a own journal here on NexusFi (formerly BMT).
The audience is large and feedback comes quickly.

Good luck
Good trades

GFIs1

Thanks to @Big Mike and all who voted....I really thought my Journal was getting a bit lonely there the last 2 weeks, after I "rebooted" my strategy....I continue to develop it, and needed the extra incentive of this contest to get started.

I plan to continue journaling until this thing beats me for good!
(Or, preferably, I beat the market, but that is a long ways off, so far.)

I have a new idea for an exit strategy I will be posting tonight...curious to hear your opinions.

Thanks @Big Mike

Wasn't sure if I made it into the contest since I started a few days after July 1st.

Hopefully my journal added some value.
