Here is my broker's Daily Confirmation for yesterday. I don't know what to say about my trades, other than I have been developing my own system for several years and finally got all of the bugs worked out.

Here is a screen shot of my own spread sheet that I've maintained for the last month (I know it was before the contest began, but I'm rather proud of it. My goal was/is to start trading with a minimal amount of money (under $200) and see how large/fast I could make it grow. (Note: The $6 loss on trade #4 happened when I accidently and prematurely bumped my mouse while attempting to exit a trade that wasn't moving as I wished.)
Made this trade overnight while I slept and it hit my TP point.

I tend/try to avoid trading in/around news events and with the U.S. Unemployment reports for the last two days, I've pretty much stayed on the sidelines. I did catch one small trade on Thursday and opened another one toward the end of the week, which I'll check in on Sunday afternoon:
