    Great day because I wasn't worried about breaking combine rules since I blew out yesterday. I believe the new rules will be much more beneficial. I will pass this combine if it's the last thing I do!

    Italian blood doesn't allow for things to get bottled up. Luckily after its out I'm over it just as quickly. But a couple of well placed f-bombs feels good now and then... :-)

    You are 100% correct. I will do another after reading this. But I want to be clear about a couple of things. 1) I wasn't blaming anyone but myself 2) I trade my own money and don't do this. I never move my stops with my own account. I need to figure out why I'm doing it in the...

    Yes but only paid for 3. One was free because I passed all tests but didn't hit the profit target. Another was "free/do-over" because something in their DOM had me in trades that I exited and when it carried over to the next day I got DQ'd. So that one doesn't count. So that's 1 too many. As...

    Ding ding ding!!! You hit it on the head. I just seem to continually trade differently to try to "pass" the rules... Maybe that's why they changed the format? At the end of the day whatever the case may be I'm done chucking money at it.

    Not happy with my performance today. Sat in a trade for over and hour and a half feeling like it was heading south. Got a head fake to the upside and bailed for a tiny gain. No more than 30 seconds after I closed out the trade the ES took a nose dive. I guess that little guy was waiting for...

    Thought I saw a turn in the market... even added to my short position. Wasn't there and I got stopped out for almost -$400 day. Tomorrow will be better.

    Well I only had the morning to trade today and it was rather dull yet again. I tried to make a few points to the downside but saw that falling apart as it bounced off support and made a new short term high. Got out for a 1 tick profit and just in the nick of time it looks like as I exited a...

    I don't know... this has been quite amusing without him! I still hope he's doing well, but it's fun all the same. :)
