2009 Interactive Brokers Collegiate Trading Olympiad

Will closing my position violate my trading plan?

Carl, I am sure it would NOT violate your trading plan. When you trade you open and close positions, and that is how you make money. But if you would switch from options to, let’s say, futures that could be a problem, of course in case you have not indicated it in the trading plan.
 
OK Good. Thanks guys. That's what I hoped.

I closed my positions, and I am up a tiny amount.

Hopefully it's good for $1,000. Today is only the 2nd day I could liquidate at above $1mil, so I took it.
 
John is at 7th place...
GREAT JOB.:dance::dance:
 
It is a tight race for positions 7+. I got lucky with the snapshot for closing positions last Friday. Let's hope for a good week 6 of the competition.
 
Way to go, John, good luck for the rest of the competition!!!
 
Vladimir is in 7th place this week...
Looks like we have a rotating member in top 10 every week.
 
John, I know you are eleventh. C'mon mate, make few more audacious trades, and Bob is your uncle! :)
 
Great work Valdimir, John! And, I hope, Satman, too!

Now on to the final week - best of luck guys!
 
what's the verdict????....seems like there'll be quite a number of Baruch folks in the top 13
 
March 23rd is a very long time to wait! (That's when the website says final results will have been released)
