    TopstepTrader and Patak Trading Partners- Any and all questions answered here

    I agree with you about watching the loss limit. Just because we can lose up to a thousand doesn't mean we should. Don't fight the price action if wrong. The market is never wrong only traders are. My durations are long because I do alot of overnight trading. One day I took a $500 loss instead of...

    Patak Trading

    Well folks another combine, another profitable month. I've been profitable 2 of the 3 monthly combines and 1 of the 2 accelerateds. However doing the accelerated made me realize the ridiculousness of the $500 loss limit. If I put out 5 contracts every point and got filled on all 5 I was already...

    Patak Trading

    One good thing about Patak is it has given me a feel for futures trading. Another thing that bothers me is the different loss limits for Combine versus live. What if you learn to trade one way in Combine but find it doesnt work with the tighter stop limit live? As for my uncle now that I've...

    Patak Trading

    I wish had the nerve to ask my multimillionaire uncle but I don't. I will come in to a sizable trust when he sells his bank but that could be tomorrow or ten years from now.

    Patak Trading

    I've tried two Combines with them. In December I had one week of "training". I didn't need it. I made $5000 in 5 days usually getting filled on 3 of 5 lots. The next week (my first week of Combine) I made another $3000 in 3 days doing the same as first week. I got chopped up in the middle of...

    Series 7 Without working for a firm????

    Guess I need clarification then. I obtained my Series 7 and Series 66 licenses in 2002. I worked for a broker friend of a friend of the family to get the licenses to open up more opportunities in the field. I was under the impression those licenses were good for two years (i.e. 2004)after...

    Zone Trading/ Kershner Trading?

    So whats the verdict since the change? I interviewed with Zone about a year ago. My first interview out of school last August. But when the guy indicated to me that his traders do "hundreds of trades" a day I indicated I wasn't interested in just generating commissions for them. As for Houston...

    Real estate insiders go bearish in blogs

    The CPI advanced 0.4% in March vs. an expected 0.3% rise, but the core number, excluding food and energy, really caught the market's attention. Core inflation increased 0.3% last month vs. expectations for a 0.2% gain, mostly the result of a slowing housing market that boosted rental costs to...
