It definitely is. BTW, how speed is important to your tradingÉ I mean you mentioned your internet is slow.

Thatès hard man. But how do you know you are the only one among 80 millionÉ

That's bad. However for Northern America such things especially disconnections on weekly basis is inexcusable. I am looking to change provider. Used to be very reliable but not anymore. With so many connection you already have pretty big expense?

I see. Actually here in Canada I have had numerous internet outages with Rogers. Once it happened at the exact moment I was placing Stop loss order... Was without internet for about 2 hours. Gotta go with OCO orders only when go live.

I am Chikot at TST, but I am very rarely there. My trading is very demanding and I am really focused cause I watch both chart and DOM. I am there usually after my trading is closed and still not very often. I wonder why you deffer your start? I think it is time to let the dice fly...

Thanks Mav, but I actually do not listen to no one. To succeed in this one should have a very healthy dose of pigheadedness. I remember Marty Schwartz was losing money for 10+ years even despite working in this business and Paul Tudor Jones also had huge losses in the beginning. The most...

Hi CT, how are you doing? Have you started Combine? I did not have 12-14 roll over Combines. I had 6-7 Combines all losing before I got first rollover and then had 4 rollovers in a row. Then paid for 2 and now got refund for the last Combine after I made the target. It means that I only...

Very good post Mav. I disagree on few small points when it comes to success. By edge you probably mean plan that works. The plan itself must be total package encompassing everything from risk control per trade, per day, profit targets, trade managements, few plans as markets conditions go not...

Traders should concentrate on trading and think less of anything else. A bit of luck won't hurt either. Discussion that makes sense is IMHO is why so many funded traders fail if there is only 12 live traders on the roll. This is what should be discussed. From my perspective and...

when I open my own account I will go most probably with Velocity. Anyway, it is some 6 months ahead. Gotta concentrate now at task at hand.

Oh man. I took first Combine November or December 2012... It took me some 12-13 Combines and the whole year of Combines for me to get out of the loop. Markets are unforgiving. There must be total package to succeed. At least I am so sure in me keeping losses low that i am opening my own...

Hopefully yes.

I am hopefully getting live funding. Cross fingers. TST kindly provided me with demo to trade exactly as I traded before to keep my trading sharp while awaiting funding. 2-3 weeks as I was told. Market now is pretty bad. Liquidity is a fraction of what it used to be just 2 months ago. It's...

Thank you Mav!

I am waiting. Scout team will decide whether I go live or have to take LTP.

Thank you Crispy!

Thnaks CT. Now I am looking forward to next step. Gotta be disciplined an focused. I feel happy I was disciplined, focused and calm during this Combine. Never broke any rule in my plan. Frankly I did not expect to pass this one as start was not only bad it was hopeless with very bad market...

Winding down my Combine. 3 days left. Will post final results Friday after close. I am not taking risks anymore. No sense. Starting Balance: $30,000 Max Position Size: 3 Daily Loss Limit: $500 Max Drawdown: $1,500 Winning Day %: 70 Max Drawdown: -654.5 Largest Winning Day: 497...

It is funny but there is no way mathematically to have 45% with 10 trading days. I guess TST must have own standards regarding this. 4 win days out of 10 days is 40%. so, I guess 45% might be 5 win days or 50%. You should talk to them obviously.
