How do you get the arrows on an IB chart?

I wasn't looking at when you become funded I was looking at the ease of passing the combine. But you are right the daily loss limit of a 30K is 1.67% of capital as compared to 2% for the 150K combine. However the max drawdown for 30k is 5% of capital as compared to only 3% on the 150K

The easiest should be the 30K Combine as you only need a 5% return on capital to pass. Trading the 100K requires 8.5% but the 150k only requires 8%.

Hey Austin: Nice finish but I do have one question. Knowing that the daily loss limit was 2k why didn’t you quit trading for the day when a loss on your next trade would put you over the limit? Was this a lack of discipline on your part? Perhaps you could walk us thru that particular...

Why?

+1 Yup having riches does not always mean having a lot of money.:)

Which combine are you trading? $30K or greater?

I'm paying attention. Thank you!!:)

Thanks. The answer to number 5 makes sense in a way but I wonder why anyone would opt for a 10day vs a 20 day combine. I suppose to get funding more quickly. Tough criteria to meet. Way above my abilities.:D

Thanks ammo; I'll give them a call if I've got the time in the next couple days. Not even close to being a scalper but it's an interesting concept. Just curious about the model.

My first reaction is if I phone then you’ll have my phone number and I get enough unwanted calls as it is. Secondly if I phone then the questions remain unanswered on this thread. If the answers are on the web site then point me to a link and I’ll find them. I have browsed the FAQs and...

Not only hundreds of pages but a lot of discussion and opinions that are way off topic. thought it would be easier to get answers here. I've been on the TST web site and didn't find the answers to my specific questions. I'm sure they are there somewhere. Would you be so kind as to point me...

Why the different combines? Does one have to work their way thru the different levels? What is the procedure if one passes the $30,000 20 day combine? Does the size of the combine completed have anything to do with the size of account that might be available to trade live? Why the...

What difference does it make if it's real money or not? If the system works in demo it might work with real money. Oh And what the Hell is a TOS violation? Don't tell me that everyone who posts here has to be honest.:D

Why? I thought it was a great thread and would like to see more like it. Trades were posted prior to being taken. All trades were reported. Because it was in a demo account, what difference does it make? Oh yeah and if you had looked at any of the images he posted early in the journal...

I was thinking that the subcription rate would only cost you that much in losses each month. No way you can lie to yourself about your stats:)

Has anyone had any experience with Topsteptrader? Seem like a reasonably inexpensive way to find out if you are capable of being profitable futures trading. There is probably a catch I'm missing.

I have to ask about risk control; is the downside on the trade always worse than the upside? I'll be the first to admit I don't understand options, could you walk me thru a typical trade showing all the possible outcomes?

Too bad it would be interesting to see where withing the given time frame you entered and exited your trades.

Are you actively trading this system or just monitoring it. The reason I ask is the number of stocks the scan produces. What other filters do you use? Darvas, once he found a stock that met his requirements invested heavily in those stocks.
