Some people were talking about a trading plan... Allright... Here it is... Plan 1. Make a decision on the direction of the market. 2. Master the entry. 3. Remember your ABCs... that's Always Be Cutting! (or Be Like Rodent BLR) 4. Trade size. Works OK for...

Wonderful.... Just great... I made $405.00 in my practice account but I lost another -$35.00 in my Combine account... It's this sort of thing that makes you want to claw your eyes out...!

Good thing I did it this way (stopped @ 1.3072) because the market is at 1.3055 right now... But it doesn't count because I did it in practice.

Stopped out for a tick almost instantly... this was done in the practice non-Combine account ...

A trade example... I've bracketed the market with... A stop buy at 1.3083 and a limit sell at 1.3085.. A limit buy at 1.3073 with a quick stop sell at 1.3072...

OK... Almost have it working the way I want to... But you can't point and click... You have to go through OCO or stop orders...

For instance look at my Euro E6 DOM you will notice that I can sell 3 lots out of the market wih an OCO... But that's out of the market to the down side... Meaning the market has to fall in order to execute. This isn't really what I want to do... I want to queue above the the market on...

Hi... Thank you for that... So I watched the video for queue orders... That might be true for live trading but not for the simulator that I'm doing. My simulator doesn't have a Q button... I've clicked on everything and not much happens. I think this version only does stop loss...

I know about the Euro... Haven't really traded the other products... Crude and Euro sound good... I still have to get positive on ES to pass...

They didn't throw me on this site... I asked if they'd be willing to do a live journal on ET to try their Combine... I'm not affiliated with them in any way...! Nobody else stepped up to do a journal here for a FREE Combine except me. Not Maverick, not you, not GMST, not Lucias... NOBODY...

Level 2 for stocks sure but not on T4 DOM... Either way every newbie will have the same experience as me when starting a Combine... This is the reality of it... It's probably not so bad that this gets out now so that they can fix it. A detailed PDF on how to use T4 would be helpful...

Been a trader for +10 years now... I've spent a good deal of them with a decent firm trading equities... My strategies were to trade size (as much as 15000 shares on a trade) with tight stops... I was a high frequency trader using hot keys rather than algos... I've had really good years in...

Sure OK... I've e-mailed support about it as well... I'll wait for a reply. However, I 100% assure that I haven't been able to get on the bid/offer today.

Also check out this thread... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=249489 I'll be doing most (if not all) of my commentary here from now on...!

Allright... Day 1 finished with -$150... Had some issues with getting to know the platform but that's not the problem. The problem is that I have to make $3500 to pass the Combine. Assuming an average of $350 a day for 10 trading days this means that I'm actually down -$500... Due...

I PMed Hoag about it... I don't think you can... The tutorial here says you can but that's for live trading. http://www.topsteptrader.com/ViewSoftwareTutorial/AC I think you can only cross the market and place stop loss orders in simulator. If that's the case then 90 % of my...

Yeah it does... That part works fine... But if you click below the market... OK you want to sit on the bid with an order 3 ticks below... On the LEFT SIDE, below the market (blue color for BID) you click... Your 2 lots should appear there... But they don't...!??

OK that picture was completely pointless... The cursor didn't show up... Oh well...! But trust me...! I'm clicking above the market on the OFFER (right side red) and bellow the MARKET on the BID (left side BLUE)...

I did that Mav... I'm telling you nothing...! Both on the BID and the OFFER... It executes if you cross the market but that's it... Unless I'm doing something wrong... Picture with my mouse below market clicking... NOTHING...!

I'll admit that I don't quite know how to use this platform... But with the S clicked on or with the S clicked off... NOTHING on the bid/offer...! I've clicked the other orders as well... See picture... In the interest of not destroying this account I'm going to stop trading today until I...
