Hello ladies and gents.

Grumpy mcgrumpington here. As you all may know by now I am a grumpy bastard.. Sure, thats what 6 yrs of trading does to you. Did I mention I'm going bald?

Anyway, to avoid a rant. I have started this discussion, because I have a potential opportunity to traders around the world.

Basically, I was looking to gather interest in a potential LIVE trading competition.

The competition would involve 2 months of live trading, on an ecn/stp platform and the prize would be $5000 and the chance to trade on behalf of a firm with a 50/50 split. (Firm employment).

Basically, the rules would be as follows.

Open an account at the designated broker with $1000 USD in it.
Apply your trading strategy, be it an EA, or a hedging method, or scalping or whatever.
Trade it for two months.
The largest percentage gain would receive the prize and given that the method wasn't ''luck'' would be offered a contract to trade funds on behalf of a firm. And the chance to enter the industry at a corporate level.

I am just really looking at interest for now. As I find partners for this offer, the "firm" money on offer will be on behalf of a new Australian Prop trading house specialising in spot FX. One of the first of its kind.

Leave your opinions or vote on the poll, it would be good to hear what you guys have to think.
