I think the VO was afraid of the competition. I’m sure many people get bored seeing Misstrade bang out a couple grand per day. Although DT’s $26,000 was quite interesting, most days are uneventful. Its just a collection of pro traders with consistent profits.
However, for those who wanted to see a part-time, underfunded trader go up in flames, they turned to the Virtual Cubicle (hat tip to Richard for the name).
Its a sad day, but the VC was swallowed up by the menacing VO today. Damn takeovers!
It would have been a nice day if I would have stayed away from the oil pits. I can’t remember the last time I turned a profit when the oil inventory report came out. The NQ provided plenty of opportunity, and I was able to catch part of it.

You say you’re underfunded! Your PnL is about 8 times mine for today!! I’ll join you in the part-time underfunded flameout camp. I’m your Virtual Cube Buddy. :)

Ahem… $28 grand.
Anyway, the Virtual Office can get interesting at times. There have been a couple of blowups as well. I’d like to fill it with a few more active traders because I think it can be a useful indicator in a way. There are many skill levels and experience levels present. You should be able to spot a trader who is near you in these areas and try to figure out where you should be.
At this point, I just try to beat the futures traders. Unfortunately, “tapeworm” jumps out to a $500+ lead on me in his first day. His victory will be short lived and his eventual defeat will be humiliating. I will not soon forget the “vodka penis” comment.

prospectus: LOL
DT: LOL…now is the time for a “cocky” comeback, but my head is held low, because of my low self-esteem
