    TopstepTrader and Patak Trading Partners- Easy to read QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

    Oops! I already signed up with the 10-day via the cyber special. The custom was for the 20 day. No big deal, I'm willing to do either one, or I can do the "continuous" one after I get Ninja at a later point.

    TopstepTrader and Patak Trading Partners- Easy to read QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

    They sent out an email for "CyberMonday" special, I just saw it and signed up, 20% off the combine. It did not give a choice of platforms upon checkout, so I guess I'll be using the T4, which of course is not as ideal as Ninja, however I don't have a license key and I've already used both...

    Easy mount LCD

    Hi, the description on the site says they can be adjusted: - Die-cast double joint flexible aluminum arms can swivel 90° at each joint facilitating swing in and out into comfortable viewing positions Does the Quad stand have the ability to "curve in" at all, or is it totally flat? The...

    Problem recovering my funds from Globus Trading LLC

    Former Team Trading traders did the newspaper/tv route, it was a total waste of time. Even the Trader's Expo (where they ran their seminars) wasn't interested. All they did was end up adding more legal language in their advertising brochures, sort of a "buyer beware" caveat for attendees. Ya...

    What Monitors do you have, size, specs - Led or LCD ?

    Usually, the specs section of the monitor you're looking at will tell you if it's VESA mount compatible on the DELL site, but sometimes it doesn't. (I once bought an "S" series which is NOT vesa compatible). When reviewing monitors, third party vendors are sometimes more reliable. For...

    Monitor Stand, which one is good ?

    Check out stands by Planar and Doublesight, they are both good and strong enough to hold 4 monitors. Doublesight stands come pre-assembled, so you will pay more for shipping, however they are very durable. http://www.doublesight.com/product/?idx=46...

    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    I think that's a reasonable analysis. I don't know about the ultimate price target, it could be 700, or less, or beyond, nobody really knows for sure. Gene Munster on CNBC (who seems to be an eternal aapl bull) restated his price target in the 800's. However I'd say from a technical...

    Pristine's Advanced Gap Strategies Course

    Gaps often make powerful trade set ups, especially around earnings season. However, keep in mind that moderators in chat rooms of firms that generate revenues through chat room fees or educational courses often use a simulator platform. Pristine has been around awhile with a solid...

    TopstepTrader and Patak Trading Partners- Easy to read QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

    Can someone please clarify how this will impact the trading hours of the live combine? My interpretation is that it will allow for an additional 45 minutes of trading time, or do the trades still have to be closed before 3:15pm CST? "New Trading Hours for CME Group Equity Index Products...

    If you're on a 5 lot max with the 50k combine, you can be in 1 to 5 contracts, with any combination of the permissible products available to trade, with a maximum number of 5 total contracts at a time. However, to pass you must be net profitable in EACH product traded.

    I'm almost done with my trial on Ninja and it seems 10 ticks is doable on CL, as long as you nail the entry! It also helps to make sure you're on the most current contract. Today I placed a limit order well below the bid, yet it got filled immediately. Then I realized I was in the December...

    The site shows the same profit targets as before. When does this change take place?

    It was stated on other threads that once you're a funded trader using the T4, there is zero fixed cost to trade the account. There is a cost for T4 only if you want their charts. From their FAQ on the site: [+] Do funded traders have to pay for the trading platform? Funded traders...

    That's why one has to avoid a big draw on any of the days, or the odds decrease in passing the combine, since the trader WILL have to "swing for the fences" to come out ahead.

    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    That's an interesting question. Currently it carries just under a 5% weight in the S&P, and is the largest constituent of the index. If aapl went to 1,000, my guess is the S&P goes back to the 2007 highs. It's doubtful they would add aapl to the Dow Jones, given that it's a price weighted...

    As a stock trader, I can definitely agree that futures are a totally different animal. I think the reason you feel it's "much easier in stocks" is due to the amount of leverage you're used to. Keep reminding yourself when you're trading 1 lot of Aussie, for example, you're trading one thousand...

    Agreed, if you pay for the combine and pass, then you're getting a live account for a much lower capital outlay than opening your own retail account, with the benefit of a structured trading plan with specific risk parameters which you may or may not follow if you traded your own account...

    Problem recovering my funds from Globus Trading LLC

    Right, creating the awareness has value. I didn't know about Elite Trader before sending funds to an unregistered firm. I and many others have later said "had I read the posts, I would not have sent in my risk deposit..." It's the unregistered firms giving this industry a black eye. There...

    Right, that's why I've asked if they would approve a customized objective (i.e. to change their rules) to allow a trader the ability to trade more than 10 days if needed. The other workaround as discussed was to lower the profit objective in exchange for a higher % of profitable days...
