Hey traders! Welcome after the weekend. As we took the well-deserved time off, traders had the end of the Round of 16 and worked hard to advance to the quarterfinals.
Let’s see who made it!
Quick Rules Summary
Finalists go 1v1, seeded by group score. Both traders reset to $500 for a short head-to-head window; whoever makes more profit advances. Single elimination, until one champion is left.
Best Trade of the Round
The best trade of the round goes to WeatherOnly. He correctly predicted the highest temperature in Amsterdam for $445 in profit and the first place in the duel!
Congrats!
Worst Trade of the Round
The worst trade of the round goes to aenews:
While he did predict correctly that Argentina will win with Switzerland, he traded the full-time game market vs team to advance market. The 90 minutes ended in a draw and aenews proceeded to lose $672 in the process.
This ended aenews’s run in the tournament, which he ends with $812 total profit + winnings from advancing to the top 16.
Round of 16
Joker_Poly vs PROPHET
Joker_Poly didn’t trust me when I said that I aim to trade in the last day and he was good for it. Ultimately, I lacked the time to properly focus on the Round of 16 and Joker_Poly advanced to the Quarterfinals with $207 in profit.
Congrats!
Maskache vs ClydeCash
Maskache won the duel well in advance as ClydeCash zeroed out trying to catch up with this pro weather trader.
Congrats!
Raskell vs OnlyLuckNoBrain
The last day of trading was not so lucky for OnlyLuckNoBrain. After a great run, he finally ended his supply of luck and ended up $118 in the red. Raskell saw that early and decided to not risk anything anymore with $295 in profit.
Now Raskell is in, trying to beat weather traders. Congrats!
HondaCivic vs PMKFund
PMKFund’s strategic patience continues to pay off. He barely traded against the well-known weather trader HondaCivic. However, HondaCivic finally had a bad streak after making absurd amount of profit in the previous rounds.
This time he ultimately erased his bankroll and PMKFund can continue implementing his strategy in the Quarterfinals. Congrats!
BeefSlayer_ vs whiggeries
whiggeries had no chance against the top weather trader, BeefSlayer_. The latter made $1,456, more than $1,000 more than the former, guaranteeing himself a place in the Quarterfinals.
With HondaCivic and 0X357 gone, BeefSlayer_ and Maskache are my favorites to iwn the whole tournament.
Congrats and godspeed!
bernardbulletin vs WeatherOnly
bernardbulletin had an incredible run, but ultimately he needed to admit that this tournament belongs to the weather traders. WeatherOnly really took off in the last day of trading, making $1,103 vs $634 by bernardbulletin.
Congrats to WeatherOnly!
aenews vs Rex416
aenews tried his best, but Rex416 was simply too good. In the end, aenews tried to go all in, but it backfired. Rex won the whole round with $1,664 in profit.
In an absolutely killer performance, Rex416 advances to the Quarterfinals—congrats!
Fuentes 99 vs thonka
Fuentes99 and thonka went head-to-head for majority of the Round of 16. However, at the very end Fuentes99 tried to make it big and failed, erasing majority of his bankroll in the process.
With $465 in profit, thonka advanced to the quarterfinals. Congrats!
