    Do you have any links/sources for this? Thanks.

    BABA

    Ok that is good news for BABA. My target is still the unfilled gap above around $97. It will need to push up through the resistance at the 200sma to attract a new set of buying interest. If the recent earnings report has any merit, then it could rally until the 11/11 sales report.

    Yes, however Lescor had enough EQUITY to absorb losses on the losing days "in the real trading world" to continue trading. It's not the "exact same process" when you'd only have TEN days to build up the cushion with TST. If you want to compare Lescor to TST, then you have to compare their...

    Nice going on the FTP, if you can get the same $301/day for the first 10 days in the live account then at least you'll start with a semi-decent cushion, even if you start with 1 or 2 lots.

    No, the combine doesn't teach you a profitable strategy, but it DOES teach you risk management, which is the crux of any trading plan. Although I wish this trader the best, it is unlikely he is going to "generate profits for them." Only the 100k/150k combines have the highest odds of...

    Everyone has different strategies. The recently funded trader made 10 grand in one day, after almost having a "blow up" the prior day. However, even if you pass the combine with multiple lots, if you exceed the lot size of the scale up rules (which he obviously did, making $921 per lot), then...

    NUGT/DUST

    Good entry, and a very nice ROI. If /GC breaks 1,125 it should rally to the next resistance point of around 1,150, which will carry the gold/gold mining stocks and ETFs with it, including NUGT the turd.

    That report was already addressed on this thread. Perhaps there were some technical glitches back in 2010. TST posted a response to that report. The allegation that TST would willfully engage in sabotaging a trader's results in order to make the trader fail a combine is patently absurd.

    I disagree. If you compare two traders that have never traded futures, one at AMP vs. one at TST, the guy who has made $1,000 in the TST account has an equal or higher probability of being profitable, because of the discipline/edge/practice obtained by the trading combine. However, BOTH cannot...

    FOMC Thursday?

    Any idea why the meeting and rate decision is on a Thursday and not the usual Wednesday?

    NUGT/DUST

    Looks like Direxion extended the date for the reverse split of many of its ETFs to October 1st, including the official certified turd, NUGT. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/direxion-announces-date-extension-october-225300302.html

    Lescor had excellent overall performance metrics and had a good run at Echotrade. One thing, however, you didn't mention was Lescor's EQUITY, and the fact that he had the ability to take huge draws and trade size. There is no comparison between Lescor and a funded trader with TST, until...

    TST can "pave the way" for anyone who is willing to take the time, trouble and effort to improve their trading results, whether or not they pass the combine. I highly doubt anyone who has taken a combine (or several combines) can complain that it was a waste or that it didn't improve their...

    Incredible, you finally admit the truth, while still ignoring the truth, lol! "once you have built enough cushion" Yes, the key, which you obviously admit, IS the cushion. "...are arguing about what you 'made' in the combine. Obviously that's nonsense..." WRONG! What you make in the...

    Is trading with odd lots viable? (IB)

    Again, you FAILED to read and comprehend my post. So let's go back to trade school 101. From Schwab's site (emphasis in bold): Order types A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the best possible price available at the time the order is received in the marketplace. A market...

    Suretraders

    Actually, Suretrader is regulated: "SureTrader is a division of Swiss America Securities, Ltd., founded in 2008. We are a Bahamas-based broker/dealer regulated by the Securities Commission of the Bahamas." Of course, who knows about the "regulations" of a Bahamas corporation, lol! I agree...

    Is trading with odd lots viable? (IB)

    Obviously you have reading comprehension issues, my post was self explanatory. Do some research on ETFs such as SDY and DVY regarding their price action on August 24th, instead of posting your mindless drivel.

    Is trading with odd lots viable? (IB)

    The OP was asking about market orders. On the day when ES opened limit down, many stocks and ETFs opened WAY BELOW their prior close, despite any adverse news of that particular stock (or ETF). At first it was thought that the trades would be canceled, but they weren't. So anyone who sold "at...

    What happened to Title Trading?

    Wow, another firm allegedly scamming its traders on payouts, incredible, yet not surprising. Here's what I would do: 1. Join the email group posted by the OP, and share your contact info. 2. Look over the operating agreement/contract that you signed when you joined the firm. Review any clause...

    Ya, I'm sure the guy with the market stop on AAPL on the day ES opened limit down would fully agree. :)
