Good news for those of you that have shown interest. I will be beginning a $10,000 challenge this month! The terms are a bit different. In the past few months I have been working on a macro to notify me of signals, and then I use my discretion to decide on whether or not to take the trade. Obviously with any semi-automated system, you can't go in with huge size; we need to test things cautiously. Well I believe this is a good opportunity to throw it into the $10,000 challenge.
I believe I stated that I would be looking to turn $10,000 into $100,000 within a couple months, unfortunately that would not be feasible trading the futures market which is what my macro is optimized for. With options, it is possible to hit 500% return days on the risk capital, with futures, that is increasingly difficult. Having said that, I do believe that with proper trading I can complete this challenge within 6 months.
