"If you are funded with MES you have to have a positive balance after 15 day's and every 15 day's thereafter. The position was ES." It is similar to TST 10 days positive after the start rule. It calls for serious consistency and risk control.

"Max DD remaining is 835$ and i need to be positive by the end of next Friday's session." Why? Is there a rule to be positive after number of trading days? Or it is because of the oversized losing day? BTW, what were you trading? ES?

Don't get it personal but it sounds unlikely. When one asks question what news to be avoided they have to answer. Another one is that for CL there is clearly only 2 news to be concerned about. If what you say were the real issue there would be more people coming and mentioning this. Anyway, when...

Cannot you ask them what news are expected today every day before trading starts and at what time? It does not sound reasonable that some news about which nobody knows make one responsible for avoiding those news. In this case they should let know when not to trade.

Thank you. I see nothing onerous. When it comes to CL there is basically two news events to be avoided one is every Wednesday and another one once a month. The only thing to be cleared is to know for sure how long before and after those releases to be flat and when after those releases trading...

I think first of all we must ensure that no those rules broken. they have less rules than TST. I knew of a guy who was with TST for one year and then used his track record to find better option elsewhere... Scaling rule can be avoided by trading consistent size all the time and news should be...

TraderMat, i understand position must not be held into Wednesday news. What other news trader must be flat before release? NFP Fridays? What else. is there official schedule from oneup trader? on which news trader must be flat? It looks like trader must determine first of all which rules are to...

There is QM crude e-mini contracts which is half size of CL contract. It is less liquid and I traded it with my own money 2-3 years ago. It can be traded and used as well for those who are more conservative when it comes to position sizing and risk control. I am planning to take 50 000...

Doe sit mean if one is not using trailing stop but exists trades with limit orders unrealized profit is not going to trigger account trailing stop? Only realized profit.

It is not for those who trade too often...I am planning to start in May/ June 2018.

It is mostly about correctly reading market situation form higher TF point. Big moves do not come every day and angle of the move how far it is from MAs and so forth tells when reversal is coming. Basically, I believe trailing stop for day trader is useless. But the method of calculating...

Does it mean whenever you are even in one tick profit account trailing stop moves?

It is a bit odd. Do you mean that trailing stop moves with unrealized profit?

According to what we filed for Tax return 2013 I spent about $1600 on Combines. I should have covered it all after first 2 months of trading. I mentioned I had not withdrawn anything until this week which was mistake. This week I covered half of my Combine expenses by taking part of my profits off.

The short answer would be yes. I started my first Combine with TST in November 2012. I had some 8-10 Combines each one was a losing one where I lost from $1500 to $3000 on each attempt. My first positive Combine was the one I started in November 2013. Since then I only paid for one more Combine...

Meanwhile I am withdrawing my second check this week. It might not be much this week. But it covers some 3 combines. Basically. I am grateful to TST to providing opportunity and learning few things at small cost to myslef.

To withdraw some profits is a very good idea by TST. I have been in good profitable months enough times to make withdrawals, not all or half but a bit to taste the blood and know I am doing my job. Had months I was up $2000-3000 on a contract but did nothing. Results were not good as I was...

As I said luck is important. One of the most important thing for such traders like Londonkid and myself is to be adequately capitalized. I do not think this issue is being resolved by getting funded. I am definitely better of by trading my own funds. Regarding structured environment. Call...

I agree. To pass combine edge is certainly required and discipline too. The most important factor is psychology though.

It is more complex than that. BTW, edge doe snot work all the time. In my case I would say a lack of luck especially in my first attempt involved. The irony, the moment I lost the funding I went on 13 days wining streak which would drive me into Sr. Trader status. Go figure. But I frankly...
