Thanks Crispy! I never traded futures before TST. i traded spot FX. But did not like it. On the other hand I got hooked on futures. I just do not like indexes.

One thing about my previous live trading that I always controlled losses. I had taking profit issues that actually were hurting me and this continued for the whole year of me doing Combines. I never blew accounts but I did have some 10-15% DDs over time. Last live trading longer term ended me...

I know about that. I have been trading live money for some 3 years before I started Combines. My trading was not good despite me having mastered basics. The real progress started last fall. I am planning to fund my own account if I am not funded by certain time. But I see few more things to...

I have been thinking of this but I am being careful and would love to get funded. It is my goal for now. But I do have a plan B now. Need more improvements. Statistically speaking it is a matter of time I will pass and get funded. may be next one will do. The most important to continue...

If one is not honest to himself one cannot make a progress. This time I think it was a bit of bad luck along with me unaccustomed to lower risk with $30K Combine and of course getting cocky after 5 days winning streak.

No Nazdack, I did not go that low. Hit some $29650 probably. will check when post my final results. I would not hit $2000 trailing stop but on $30K it is $1500 loss limit.

Thanks guys. I could not trade on Monday, but I did today. One day left. I crossed Combine objective. $1510 total P&L today. All 1 contract trading. Tomorrow my last day and I have registered for the next Combine. Pretty sad. Could have getting ready for live trading. I do not think I...

as for my current Combine I started incredibly strong. Been trading one contract only this time cause I am on $30K Combines since now one. makes a lot of sense. Hit $1455 on my fifth day. My target has been $2000. To avoid trading freeze.... However had 4 days losing streak and hit trailing...

It was interesting read. i have been doing my own calculation as to how build and maintain equity once on live account. It is straightforward. I do not think it is good idea to increase size until there is at least $4000 cushion built. Then, size might be increased but the moment equity fells...

Good trading everybody.

may be. It is all hindsight. anyway, it is my last post here.

If one wants to make it there should not be a problem in doing another Combine. But I will not be looking at LTP after I make it. I am looking forward to trading live.

LOL, once I hit it I did not want to trade. But UI did trade what appeared for me 1 tick risk set ups :) But last trade just got me a sudden slippage. it was the first time I attempted this set ups. sh*t happens. I always lost 1 tick on such sets up before. Probably 20+ times. Thsi was the first...

My Combine target was $53500. Not $53000. 7%. I hit $60 above target. not $560. Hence was the problem as I did not want to risk and had only $60 of risk capital for the last 3 days. So, I lost a bit more than $60 in the last 3 days of Combine while planned to lose $60 or less. So, nothing is...

Nothing different. i did take it easy. 18th day I opened and closed trade for loss 1 tick plus fee so was on 19th day. NBut on 20th day I entered and trade slipped 2 ticks against me. Hence I ended a bit down instead of $53500 or better. i decided not to risk anything to trade back 1 tick. I...

Regaridng missing target by 1 tick. I actually hit high of $53560on 17th trading da. Had 13 winning and 4 losing days by then. If it were not for the rule to trade minimum 20 days I would pass of course. But I was not willing to risk so close to the end. but cushion was not enough and one small...

I have checked their site. There is no mentioning of some sort of skin in the game fees which I am sure are revealed once appointment is made. But I have checked their parameters and they are even more restrictive than TST imho. $400 a day max loss, $1600 max DD and $3000 target on $30K...

Thank you Scalper Joe, 1. Did you add to a losing position, on ANY given day, before your combine net P&L was at least $2,000? No 2. Did you add to a winning position on ANY given day, without first being up $500 in NET P&L? I traded either 1 or 2 contracts going all in. I only once set a...
