Now we all know that traders with funny names are all really comedians... :o

I have added the link for the final episode to my previous post for those that are interested.

I thought it was the correct winner, he was the only one to make any money throughout the whole process :!:

I can't say I thought it was a very good process/series as there was very little actual trading information given. But non the less an interesting enough experiment.

tbf to the contestants they were faced with the hardest form of trading, i.e. day trading financials (across many markets) with high transaction costs.

i think even Euler would struggle to turn a profit in that environment.

the winner takes it all

it would be nice if betfair organize something similar for their markets for example. Where we would have prizes like:
1. prize for the most profitable trader
2. prize for the trader who traded the highest number of markets
3. prize for very high strike rate
ect

I'm suprised any of them made money by the end, but it's quite telling only one of them did.

An interesting idea and quite entertaining to watch
But in reality ridicules as a competition,
Trading to targets and deadlines with other people money Is never going to produce the best trader.
They were just a load of coin tossers really and to be honest that was probably the best way to win a competition like this, gamble ;) .

the winner lost 30% in one trade lol not great teachings from the academy who can teach anyone to trade imo :lol:
