Getting started with the CNBC Challenge

For an investment of a little time you can play the CNBC $1 million Challenge for free, but win real prizes. At the beginning of the year I kicked the tires, got a feel for the software and the set up and I am ready to play for real now.

For those of you now familiar with the challenge CNBC gives you a fake $1 million dollars to trade stocks and now forex with. Who ever makes the most money in the course of a week will win a prize each week for ten weeks. The top finalist after the ten weeks will go to a face off round for two weeks and the winner at the end of that two weeks will get the grand prize of $500,000, in an annuity. The contest starts November 17th, 2008.

While I have no delusions that I can guarantee that I will win the challenge I will use every tool at my disposal when it starts to attempt to win. While many of you know my expertise is centered around Forex and Futures I will be blogging my experience for the entire 40 days with end goal of putting my experiences, along with those of other players, and winners.

Feel free to comment and let me know how the market is treating you.
Let's have fun and take advantage of a way to add a little to our income without having to put up any money of our own.

Good luck and good fortune.
