CME Group Trading Challenge 2014

Anyone else have a team and competing? Interesting first two days. Here is the page with the rules and the rankings from yesterday. http://www.cmegroup.com/education/trading_challenge/

Any advice from those of you not competing?

That's a nice finish. How many teams were invited to Chicago? I think I might play it kinda safe at least until the final round. We are right on the edge of top 10% right now.

We didn't get invited to Chicago, just a cash prize. I think $250 for each person on the team?

Don't play it too safe, f*ckers like to go balls to the wall in the last few days of trading.
