skytrader and alexandreb have similar situation, have big difference with votes and comments. Alexandreb have huge comments into skytrader blog and skytrader into Alexandreb blog.Also Alexandreb have huge vote without any comments. Is there anyone to investigate both users?

skytrader you are a senior and respectable, but ...i am very disappointed. skytrader you have huge comments in alexandreb's strategy contest blog...why?

Maybe because they see eye to eye. There pals, buddies , friends, what ever you want to call it.

As you can see in their history of trading, theese are all a fulltime contestants (probably scalping on live account in paralel in order to earn for loaf of bread), so they could be just chaters as they constantly look at the screens and beeing bored just vote, comment, writte messages, post articles etc. , and I do not see any negatives in this. But in case, they come from the same region of Studgard Germany-this could be easily checked by IP tracker- they may be suspected and in case of violation of rules... But I think personaly, that guyes like Sky,Rahul, Mielec,Demoqtr and so on just show us- the contest amateurs- how to behave in contest so we do not turn in to lazy mules. I feel really sorry for ambitious people thinking, that they can finish in top ten running trades like a serious bussines on live account. I will end this novel with suggestion to those, who even the succes of top ten, to scalp it out or at least semiscalp with order fill, SL and TP set. Mainly: if you look at the last top 10 traders in previous months, you would register among them a lot of scalpers or theese, as I call them, a semi-scalpers. Like this, with a possitive resoults, you may gain a lot of popularity, Dukas points and general respect and I once again I do not see any negatives on it . good luck

that votes/comments ratio is really a joke, i guess everyone knows

Please also check the corelation of Santa Claus and Dalai Lama!

And while you are doing so please also a check the corelation of Phantomas and Batman.

Personally, I like Skytrader, he's a nice guy and I communicate with him throught the posts, we see eye to ey and he is a good trader. Sure we give votes to each other because we like and respect the other traders in the contest. I even vote plus for rauhl because he is good, whether you like him or not. But, Skytrader always comments back and I appreciate that. Some of the other traders don't and its like saying hi in a room full of people, and no one replys.

Trading is boring as hell and this contect injects life and fun into a boring as hell market.

As to whether skytrader is cheating, 100% no, the guy has morals. he's Greek and that usual means he's proud, so I would never expect anything than gentleman type conduct from Skytrader. If he fails he has the honor to admit it and take it like a man. Only sad monkeys cheat, sky is far bigger than that.

Of course, but that is the point of Ducascopy contest, can t you see ? Managment doesnt want a boring and non atractive competition withould +1, commets, articles and votings in general. As a product Manager I wouldnt seek it either. Otherwise, contest would turn in to a live account like type of competition, where riskers predominate and seek the easy profit- Majority of them loose accept several promile. So, the way of percepting this competition shell let you to educate how to gain pips constantly avoiding SCALPING, in order to not ruin your first live account in couple of months after astablishing. And thats what is Dukascopy Bank SA, as an ECN brooker, deffinitely after. If you are jelous, thus want to gain popularity, then skalp it out in plenty. Be on the screen, post valuable accurate and concreate comments, gain friends, in another words be active .
On the other side: How come, that most of us recieve a posittive- copy and paste sort of comments like : go on, very well, nice trade and even voted +1, straight after we close on SL a loosing trade ? As an Administrator of this competition, I would rather concentrate on this type of scum and suggest to cast a serious penalties in score of theese popularity point seekers, in most cases the high scool kids, so: when ever there is a repetition of a fraze within a sentence, time limit of posting comments, 1 comment per nick per day etc.... or any sort other filter would be usefull in order to avoid spamming Participants. sincerely yours vasilenkovic, currently arround 700 th . I hope to score around 950tg just a joke in the end of this boring novel. Trade well.

Does anyone agreed with me that skytrader is doing self-commenting? He has total 298 comments but 157 are self comments and also has big difference with votes and comments almost double .Among 900 users only skytrader has these situation ...If respected skytrader has logic for this then please mention some examples who have 50 self-commenting and 50 voting difference. And also manipulate between Average pips lost and Average pips gain whats this?....very disappointed.

sky trader is finished. He is a joke anyways
