Continuing in the tradition of encouraging journals on FIO, I am announcing a new Journal contest for February 2017.
The rules are extremely simple:
a) The contest begins February 1 and ends February 28. All decisions made by nexusfi.com are final.
b) This thread that you are reading right now will act as the repository for all journals that are entered into the contest.
c) The author of a journal can enter his/her nexusfi.com journal into the contest by posting a link to his/her journal in this thread. Only the author of the journal can do this. Please post the link to the journal ONE TIME, AND ONE TIME ONLY in this thread.
d) Members of nexusfi.com will cast their votes for the best journals by using the "Thanks" button on the post that the journal author has made in this very thread. This is why it is very important the author of the journal make only one post, because only one post will be used to count the total number of "Thanks Received" in this thread, and that is how the winners will be decided. Members can vote for as many separate journals as they want by following the same procedure.
e) There will be three prizes awarded, based on the highest number of "Thanks Received" per the above. The prizes are a free 150K Combine in TopstepTrader's program, a $375 value (each). I will post the full details of the 150K Combine below, or you can visit TopstepTrader's website for more information.
Thank you to @TopstepTrader for sponsoring this event. You can ask questions about their program here:
Michael Patak, the Founder of TopstepTrader, will be monitoring this thread so that he may answer any questions that you post here relating to TST products and services.

My goal with these contests is to encourage the journaling process, as I firmly believe the more you participate in the journal process, the better trader you will become.
If anyone has any questions, please let me know. This thread will remain closed to posts until February 1st (contest start date).
Daily Loss Limit = $3,000, Max Drawdown = $4,500, Profit Target = $9,000 (all rules may be found here)

This journal contest could not have come at a better time, I finished 2016 strong and was super pumped coming into 2017. I was so confident and had high hopes of January being a great month of trading to kick start the new year. Instead, January has …
I would like to enter my journal into the competition for the following reasons:
I love to compete!
I'm currently trading a TST combine to gain a backing from Top Step and a little extra wind would be awesome!
I believe that public journaling has a tremendous growth and accountability value, so hopefully my journal motivates you to create yours and keep it going as well.
