The positive aspects of the contest is it teaches competitors to be more aware of the trading strategies that they use in other words it makes you more mindful of what works and what doesn’t work. As for room for improvement, the only complaint I have is the downtime that occurred with the system – it only happened once but when you are competing it is frustrating.

Yes it is my primary income.
