Daily Up/Down Game Terms and Conditions

The Wyckoff Analytics Daily Up/Down game is played on X (Twitter) by submitting a comment tweet/post to each daily contest tweet that asks if you think tomorrow’s bar on the S&P e-minis, (ticker symbol $ES), will be an up or down in terms of price, spread, and volume traded compared to the prior trading day. There will be 5 trading days (Monday through Friday) in a normal trading week for a total of 15 answers for each contest. Only the first three words of your first comment tweet/post on each trading day’s contest tweet/post will be considered the entry for that day’s contest.

Here is the complete set of rules that govern this contest.
