Not quite everybody.

The contest format has been very organic since I've participated, with rule changes occuring at the end of each one. PPS and volume minimums have come down to levels that I personally don't trade at. But then again, I short stocks and the contest doesn't support that. BFD.

The spirit of the contest has to be to improve DD and make money in our actual portfolios. If someone really makes shady picks, ie, absurd spreads and voulumes, it's pretty obvious when one reviews their picks.

I agree that Mickey Mouse style picking for the sake of winning a contest is pretty silly.

The only thing sillier is getting uptight about it.

Well that may be true,, but one thing I'm sure of as on another board where they show thier results,, we will/should never be able to buy and sell our positions during market hours..

That not only changes the playing field for all but makes result difficult to match.. Those results as shown seemingly always buy during/or near the low of the day while sales result seem almost always near the highs..

Also I don't understand why you have so much concern for a contest that you did not even take the time or effort to enter..
