Yeah it's called the monthly portfolio challenge and it already exists. Either your strategy prevails or not.  |
You can just as easily say that for active traders... I'm just saying that it doesn't seem right to provide extra incentives for active traders while giving buy-and-holders nothing else... especially considering that buy and hold has been proven to be a better strategy than market timing... |

| Well, I want to reward people for using the site. If they are on either trading or posting I want to have them covered. Doesn't have too much to do with trading the "Right" way or not. |

| Yeah, the only way you can tell if a buy and holder is coming around is if they post..... and the active traders are more than likely to be at least reading the boards somewhat.... |

| Well so far the only way to become active is to get 10 posts. Nothing is official, but this little contest will reward those actives no matter how many posts they have. |

Okay, so my bottom line question...
Are there any code changes needed for this? Or are you using the list formats / options that we already have to do this? |

Nope, I don't think we need any code changes. Sorry for the confusion. |

Everyone that has over 31 trades for the month will get a 5,000 e$ bonus. 31 trades would average at least one buy or sell trade per day for the month.
Of the active traders we'll award these e$ prizes (If you win it all your still entitled to this reward as well, also this includes the 5k for the 31 trades):
1st: 25,000 e$
2nd: 20,000 e$
3rd: 15,000 e$
Finally, whoever makes the MOST trades in May will receive a fine Porsche worth 50,000 e$ as long as you show a POSITIVE return!
Porsche ------>  |
Ben don't forget you have extra prizes to award this month.
By my count, there are four people with over 31 trades that are positive, only 3 of which are displayed on the "active" list. And the person with the most trades is vetelmo with (so far) 120 trades, but he has a nasty red return number so I assume that nobody wins the Porshe this month. 
In fact, the top six traders ranked by trading activity are all negative this month. |

Thanks for the reminder!
Yep, looks like nobody wins the car, but I have some extra prizes to dish out. 
I should have all prizes awarded by 8pm CT tonight. |
