    Maverick74 and marketsurfer's TopstepTrader Combine (daily trade reports and journal)

    With the benefit of hindsight, it could've, should've, would've, might've if only of been better to limit that day's loss to no more than $500. That may have given you the "cushion" you wanted on the last few days when seemed to have "froze up". :cool:

    Range vs. Standard deviation

    1) At the risk of sounding "simplistic" and maybe not completely understanding what you're asking, if R tends to "exceed" S, you want to be "long" option premium versus the underlying instrument ..... I think. Other quant-nerds can chime in if they want to. :) 2) If S tends to "exceed" R, you...

    Philosophy in Trading

    1) People who major in philosophy either go on to law school or teach philosophy. :cool: 2) If a "market bear" takes a "dump" in the woods........then you're a douchebag for thinking about such scenarios. :D

    Optiver, Peak 6, etc

    1) Do you attend DePaul? :confused: 2) Besides "academic pedigree" and scoring "off the charts" on standardized math tests, they all tend to want programming ability too. :) 3) I don't know if Optiver still administers "The 3" math tests to applicants. I scored too low on the first to be...

    1) One "advantage" of the 10-day compared to a 20-day is getting the combine over and done with sooner. "Bad things" can occur from day-11 to day-20. :( 2) The average profit per day required to pass the 20-day is half of what is required to fulfill the 10-day but it's irrelevant if you never...

    Why is there so low volume per minute in HO, RB, PA...?

    1) WRONG! :mad: 2) Stop "researching" those three markets right now. The liquidity for trading outrights is horrible. :( 3) What you think you "see" on the price charts doesn't "happen in reality". :confused: 4) You'll think you're being savaged by a school of piranhas if you attempt to trade...

    1) Is it available via a custom combine? 2) TopStep might receive "incentives" from the CME to only trade CME/CBOT/NYMEX contracts. 3) To make EUREX, ICE and other exchanges available would probably involve additional data fees for each exchange that ALL combiner's would have to pay, even if...

    1) You have to demonstrate some ability to make money within a specified timeframe, the shorter the better. Imagine a 50-day Combine and missing a proportionately larger profit number on the last day and then trying to muster the confidence to go through another 50-day "market gauntlet". :eek...

    Northwestern football players get approval to unionize

    1) The players want protection/insurance/money for medical expenses as a result of injuries that materialize in the future because of having played college football. :) 2) The players might be able to receive "additional compensation" beyond their full scholarships because of the profitability...

    Hogs 2014

    1) When people at ET get excited about markets in all-time high price territory, what does it mean? :confused: :eek: :D 2) The livestock contracts have "nice" trading hours but you have to strike quickly or not at all. :)
