Hi guys,

Continuing in the tradition of encouraging journals on FIO, I am announcing a new Journal Challenge for June 2020.

Prizes:

• Free fully-featured SharkIndicators BloodHound license, valid until Nov 15 2020, to ALL members who ask for a license in this thread.
• Top three journals as chosen by members will also each receive $500 store credit in the SharkIndicators store for any purchase of their choice.

How-to participate:

• The author of a journal can enter his/her futures io journal into the contest by posting a link to his/her journal in this thread.
• If you want a free SharkIndicators BloodHound license (valid until Nov 15 2020), make a post in this thread saying: "I want to be a BloodHound!" and @SharkIndicators will issue a license for you.

How winners are chosen:

• Members cast their votes for the best journals by using the "Thanks" button on any of the posts in the journal. Votes are calculated by looking at the number of "Thanks Received" cast during the event. Any post within the journal are eligible, the calculation is based on the date the "Thanks" are given.

Rules:

• The contest begins June 1 and ends June 30. All decisions made by futures io are final.
• This thread that you are reading right now will act as the repository for all journals that are entered into the contest.
• To keep it fair for everyone, you are only eligible to win a prize in this event if you have not won any futures io prize during the last three events.

What is SharkIndicators BloodHound?

Bloodhound is a user programmable indicator based on fuzzy logic. It takes observations from price action, indicator behavior and other factors as inputs and allows you to design custom logic constructs using logic templates to arrive at a calculated output. With BloodHound you can encode the behavior of any system, setup, filter or trade signal.

BloodHound is a blank canvas – how you use it and how you configure it is entirely up to you. It is a powerful fuzzy logic calculator that has no limits on how complex your logic specifications may be. It allows you to define the inputs, and you define how they are used to arrive at a result.





My goal with these contests is to encourage the journaling process, as I firmly believe the more you participate in the journal process, the better trader you will become.

Important change with our events:

I want to point out that we have changed the calculation method for our Challenge Events. We've made it easier, by calculating the winners with a new method:

Members cast their votes for the best journals by using the "Thanks" button on any of the posts in the journal. Votes are calculated by looking at the number of "Thanks Received" cast during the event. Any post within the journal are eligible, the calculation is based on the date the "Thanks" are given.

The last part is the major change from older events. This change will make it simpler to cast your votes, and it makes more sense this way as well. Just follow the link of the journal from this thread, and cast your "Thanks" as you normally would within that thread. Any post in the journal thread is eligible, the calculation is based on the date you cast your "Thanks".

If anyone has any questions, please let me know.

Mike
