Competition !!!

[Rob Cain]

I know we have the ATC every year but without an EA and  some strict criteria for entry you cannot participate, however, what would be the chances of creating a manual trading competition for all to enter, and maybe just maybe we could have an entrance fee of 1 credit so the winner would get a prize, and possibly Meta quotes could throw in a few freebies.

If we take into account all subscribers to this forum get at least one credit for registering so all would be able to take part, also, take into account there will be many who's credits are building but little to spend them on, comments please.

In the meanwhile, why don't you try your skills by being a signals provider on MetaTrader and do you know that you can even earn decently by doing this.  :)

Don't think I will ever give away my secrets on Meta Trader, they are too precious and no one could pay me enough 8-)))

I think the problem is the organizer. Who's going to organize ?

There's plenty trading competition on the net anyway, just Google forex contest, and you'll find plenty.

You are right Phi, but I would like to party with my own friends if ,you know what I mean, organisation, maybe a tricky one but we are among "developers" would it be that hard, time taking ? if we strip out all mentioned, we have participants and a little prize money and another string to the expanding bow of Meta Trader, all in all its a thought, hopefully constructive, imagine 5 years ago if the mention of crating a market and including signals was in a list of possibilities?, it all started somewhere.

Since minimal subscription price is jacked up to 20cr, I don't think that this idea is now as lucrative as it was, when you were able to set any price you want. This eliminates most impulse buyers.

On other hand: bigger price makes subscribers think more before buy and that could lead to less disappointment in long run. As far for "decently by doing this" higher price might be right choose because this community ain't mainstream (I don't have exact number, but i would guess it's less than 5000 ppl. here ;)).  

I mean NETOIL and comex dudes are doing good. But it's hard work to get to that level. I hope to do that good as well. It's hard you need great idea and basically 24/7 server to be as good as possible.
