Nemesis45, I wonder, what doe sit mean to trade spread? Is this also called spread betting?

http://www.surcaptrading.com/mt4programme/ this one. Are you trading from their office or it is remote trader opportunity? I hit targets already twice, first for $50K , then for $30K. One of conditions was not met so I wa snot funded.

I traded live only for some 3 years. I actually tried Title trading live. Stocks. Unfortunately the office I was with had no profitable experienced traders and was IMHO a scam. they were making money on offering options courses to newbies and charging us $300 monthly. Daily loss allowance was...

Hi Nemesis45, I guess you are doing Combines too, right? I have been through some 13-15 Combines by now. Rules are already ingrained plus I have few of my own. Like 2 max losses a day. in any sequence. I do not average down. I trade only 2 1/2 hours a day in most cases. Trading stops at 12:06...

Thanks Maverick74, I agree with many points. I believe I should concentrate on one instrument and trade only one instrument and become specialist in this instrument. There also must be a balance between chart and DOM / tape utilization for successful intra day trading. However, I do need...

Pekelo, the relevant thing about which I agree with you is what are the prospects once trade becomes Sr. Trader. It looks like there is no information and the only way to find out is to pass Combine, get funded, get to Sr. Trader status and then have a straight and serious talk with however...

Pekelo, you do not get my point. You do not have to be a newbie to lose money. I never traded futures before TST. It is pretty large size right away. even 1 lot is large size for majority. Guys opening $5-10K futures accounts would still blew through those accounts in a matter of weeks or...

It is a reserves. Third line of Roman legion. To be used wisely. It is marathon, no sprint so cushion should be managed accordingly, grown and position sizes should move along with cushion up and down.

TST is not exactly simulator. It costs money and at least for me it was and is important place where I want to get funded and move forward. I had traded live for some 3 years before joining TST Combines, so as I stated before it has been the most psychologically difficult trading period for me...

I got it now. Well, I had no strategy when started trading with TST but gradually it all started coming together. Actually, I believe going with TST was the best trading decision I made. I am still trying to get funded but have got a plan B to open own account if I am not funded by Dec 1, 2014...

Maverick74, in short, Pekelo statement regarding how it is so easy to fund and trade $5000 account of course is wrong. I myself would lose some $20K over the year I was taking first 8 Combines. 95% if no more would lose those $5-10K. and not once. In short to be able to trade $5000-10 000 with...

With consistent results trader can build account pretty quickly to swing thos esaid 20-40 contracts. 2-3 years with consistent results. For example. Considering my total Combines progression since December 2013 i would have been trading 2 contracts now and on my way to 3 contracts cushion. I...

However, I would not advice new trader to get into live futures trading without going through TST Combines. Were I to open live account I would at least lose some $20K within one year based upon my 8 Combines before November 2013. There is absolute value in TST Combines but I am looking for...

Agree with ScalperJoe. Once I learned of margin requirements to trade futures I did my math. The problem is I do not know what is in the end of the rainbow. Is there those big lots or no if I produce consistently with low risk and good discipline.. In any case some cushion is necessary but if...

This is what I finally got after learning margin requirements for futures. It is all about trader day trading skills, discipline when it comes to max daily and trade losses, patience and self control. Based upon each trader personal stats it can be calculated how many maximum losing days...

My understanding also is that any account large or small should be traded with the rule of building cushion first and then increasing size. Even $500K account should be traded with pretty small size say 2 contracts to start with to build cushion and then moving to bigger sizes.

I already got it. In all cases it all depends upon trader building that cushion. All additional lots come at the expense of that cushion. Because TST is risking so little and further size increases depends upon cushion increases it is possible to reach large trading sizes with very limited...

http://www.surcaptrading.com/mt4programme/ This one looks interesting. They have trade own money to get more funding option. Pure sim option is less bang for a buck than TST. I wonder why TST does not provide similar trade your won capital to get more capital option.

This discussion reminds me Caesar's words after the battle of Pharsalus :"They fought over honors or rewards or money or how to avenge themselves on their enemies, thinking only of what they could gain from victory and never how to win the battle at hand".

I disagree that TST is a dead end. Everything depends upon how trader trades. I am also quite sure people are speculating because there is no information what is going on with Senior Traders. the short leash everybody is talking about is for Junior Traders. All in all it looks like...
