I myself already set a limit. If by January 1 I am not funded or funded and kicked back to simulator and my trading is nothing to be ashamed of, I am going to fund my own account and move on. I already made my math. I still want to be funded but time is also important. I value my time. I...

Trader should have personal daily loss limit lower than maximum daily loss limit of TST.

Hi Maverick, I am not Einstein but I pretty much figured it despite forgetting all formulas. It's been a while since i studied math and algebra . lol. really a while. Just have no idea why everybody talking about max allowed position. I got it is is about building surplus to increase number...

Hello, We want to let you know about an upcoming change to the Trading Combine®. Starting May 21, we will only be offering the 10-day Combines on our website. We are doing this to simplify options for new traders to our program and to streamline the evaluation process. The good news for...

It is probably for new guys joining Combine. I received email from TST that considering I have been with TST for along time and always been doing 20 days Combines I can continue doing 20 days combines. I am sure similar emails were received by others who has been with TST for some time and...

Yes, I did figure it that it is better bang for a buck to start with $30K and also metrics are same both for simulation and live account. The most important now to start trading within -$310 to start with and then move to $295. I used to trade with 3 losers limit but now I need to stay with 2...

TST daily loss for $30K account is $500. $200 daily loss limit is not reasonable for me. Too low. i am not going to use too small stop losses which are simply a food for algos. I have been there trying to trade with 6 ticks stops. While it might work but it is very stressful, losing trade doe...

All in all, when I finally get funded, I will follow exactly the plan I am trading with all limits but will not reduce my trading contrary to the plan to just hang in there. i am in this to make it big with excellent risk control, discipline and consistency. On the other hand I do have time...

were I to follow fund my own account path and trade $6000-7000 I would have to keep daily loss limit within these parameters and it would be the most important thing along with daily profit target after which I stop trading as well. i do have daily profit target. It is $300-400. Whichever hit...

I guess you was meaning daily loss limit is more important. Cause hitting daily loss limit means lack of discipline while hitting trailing stop in most cases just means things did not go well on certain Combine. I am trading $30K so there is no WEEKLY loss limit. It is for accounts from $50K...

Crispy, I have no doubt you will not only reach $100K but way more. It is pretty amazing to read of this kind of patience as you described the trade you wanted so badly :) Day trading is hard, especially psychologically. From my little experience it is all about limits now. trade loss limit...

Trading uncontrolled sim without oversight is no use. TST adds oversight and I do not feel it is sim cause I put my money in. I actually prefer T4. It is simple and I like simple things.

Regarding trading size I have actually thought through a plan. Each added contract needs additional cushion. For example, I think that to add second contract there should be $4000-5000 cushion build and using arithmetical progression then to add a contract additional cushion should be added...

That DD that hit trailing stop was due to me not following the plan, over trading and watching too much DOM. I actually just set a couple of new rules to reduce trading especially setting rule when not to trade at all.

Before getting on TST Combines I had been trading live for 3 years. So, I have no problem with real funds. I would actually add that these Combines were the most stressful trading I have ever done. This is the first time I actually developed a method which is still in development stage mostly...

Yes, I know. 2 days of those should have been regular size winners. I had insomnia for 3 weeks. was too excited thinking about getting funded and then of not getting funded an it caught with me on those 4 days. I think max daily loss should be within $350 but better $300. I would not have hit...

Took long trade, picked 2 ticks out of the move and I am done for this combine. $1530 ending balance. Tomorrow will start my next Combine. Will do everything to be within all parameters to get funded. The balance is from yesterday. Today's results will appear later I will post...

Will do. I have not logged for about a month.

Crispy, are you trading for TST? Your nick sounds familiar.
