My dear, what are you going to say when I come back here with my first paycheck..? There is a lot of negative blabbing but what present will I get when I do this? How about you say this, "James, I'm truly sorry for all the negativity I gave you. I attacked you because, deep down inside, I'm...

The part in bold was EXACTLY the reason why I continued through the Combines. So it absolutely wasn't irrelevant. The funding is secondary...

The story isn't finished yet my friend! I'll be claiming that beer soon :)

Ha! I wouldn't say "screwed up"...it's FEEDBACK :)

Thanks for the thread Pekelo :) Update coming soon! ;)

Thanks for your warm support Pekelo :) You are, once again, incorrect my friend. When you ground your way to profit targets over a longer period of time and with a large N (number of trades), they NEVER made you do FTP. I know this because I spoke to almost every person who passed into a live...

I don't regret my time in the Combines Overnight. I did paper trading for much more than two years before and never saw the growth that I've seen in the last two. Plus, if you check my blog post, I would have spent a lot more in trading losses had I have traded my own accounts while trying to...

Hey all, Thanks for all the feedback. Some people were so negative that I had to turn off notifications so I could concentrate on the job at had and not get drained of my own energy. Whatever I miss out here will probably be found in my recent blog posts, so I encourage you to take a look if...

This is a great question! I've covered some of my thoughts in my latest blog post but, in summary: 1) The rules changed mid-flight. There was a time when some people didn't even have to do FTP. Then there was FTP but without the infamous 10-day rule (have to be, and stay, positive from then...

FTP (Funded Trader Prep) requires you to do the following (for those who passed the $30K Combine): 1) Not draw-down more than $1.5K. This stop is trailed according to your end of day balance. 2) Never lose more than $500 in any one trading day. 3) Obtain a $500 profit target. 4) Trade only the...

VERY good question! My thoughts after a lot of time and money later in the thread. (Thanks)

30K, one contract at a time (up to three positions at a time using one contract in each position). YM, 6A, 6B and 6C.

Someone already answered this but, yes, the rules have changed. Combines have become easier...entry to funded account harder (more on that further down the thread). I was trading one contract at a time over four instruments: YM, 6A, 6B and 6C. I had a maximum of three positions at any one time...

I'm going to give my thoughts on that after I've replied to everyone here on this thread. I've learnt a lot about TST in these past few months.

Better than 100 people dying at sea! :finger:

Thanks! I did the 30K.

Incorrect. You have as long as you need now. Just have to manage risk.

And that I will! I've written in detail over at my blog but will summarize here :)

LOL...this reminds me of that scene in "The Devil's Advocate" where Al Pacino is berating God saying, "Look, but don't touch....Touch, but don't taste....Taste, but don't swallow!" If you trade on SIM they say, let's see if you can do it in a Combine. If you do it in a Combine, they want to see...
