I am on 20 days Combine. TST grandfathered me. so, I am 10 winners 5 losers now. Must have one more winning day and I will have 55% win rate locked. On 10 days I think 45% might be 4 days win rate.

I am currently $235 above profit target but still have 5 days to trade and need one more winning day and stay above $1500 to qualify. Must be focused.

Exactly. Then I met the target twice but hit trailing stop before the end of Combine after hit $1500 first time. Were I to trade according older pre trailing stop rules I would have made it then too. They make rules.

I understand the math behind the plan you are trading. I actually asked before for less % of winning days and TST gave me 45% .most probably TST will not come below 45%. it is what i got then when asking for 40%. You can make some changes to your plan and return to original one once you get...

CT, I think you might make some changes to your plan. I did make changes. I think it worth to make further research and also to open mind to not only trend following but failures too. You know, trends do happen less often than failures to continue in certain direction. why not to have plan a,b...

Exactly! :) PA is good actually., but I used to think that summer months are the best to trade agri products. Looks like it is not.

Continuous Combine is a definite improvement. it is easier to pass.

Thanks man! How are you doing?

I got response from TST that it is regular new/old crop dynamics. Which means it is summer thing related to agricultural products only. It is still tradeble because volatility and price action are actually pretty good in July unlike June, but lack of liquidity creates spread issues. Entries...

Actually price action is not an issue. Liquidity and spread is. I think the best is to stick to one instrument and be consistent in plan implementation rather than switch instruments all the time. I trade with small stops and spread was atrocious on many cases. Thankfully entries have been...

"A few weeks ago one of the ETers here missed the target by a tick, because he miscounted the profits. He should have got a chance at the LTP" I guess it is about me. I have completed 15 days and I am well above the target now. Need to win one more day to have min 55% win rate. 10 win days...

Thank you Nemesis, I will ask him questions over there. Did not know about such threads on Big Mike and ET.

I was watching that Q&A session once but it was answered orally. I cannot hear well to get what they were talking about. I will try to type my question and see if they answer it also in written text, otherwise I am gonna contact my handler. It would be nice to know of course in advance.

Gonna ask all those and more questions when and if I pass Combine. it is premature now.

I have money management plan for increased size which I would put in writing as a trading plan. I know the risk so it is all about cushion being flexible and size increasing or decreasing along the cushion increase or decrease. It would be in my rules applied for approval so I do not think...

$8..... wow. I checked few brokers and see quite a few charging less than $5 for round trip. I am not scalping but $8 would be too much.

My money management plan is to increase my trading size as soon as I build cushion for each additional contract and I also need daily limit increased of course.

Nemesis45, Does it mean Sr. Trader cannot get higher daily limit loss until he makes $15K profit? If $30K trader would make it to Sr. Trader, have some say $4000-5000 built cushion doe sit mean he would have to play with $500 daily loss limit. It would mean still 1 contract for me for...

First time I hit the target, then stopped trading for the last 4 days opening and closing trades to just lose on spread. However last day price slipped and I dropped 1 tick below the target this is how I ended. $12.5 under $3500. Second time I reached the target within 5 days, then dropped an...

Maverick, it is a good idea, but Mike seems to answer not in writing. I am deaf with implant so I do not use squake radio much. I enter there very infrequently but I am going to ask my handler regarding fees. I already checked few brokers and $5 seems too high really.
