Almost all of it.

No sim fees Don. The sim uses a commission rate to replicate net p&l in the "real" world. Nobody I know of in the real world can trade commission free, not even Goldman! Don, do you watch football? The word combine comes from the NFL combine where guys get to showcase their talent in front...

Ammo, when I get a free minute, I'll post some charts on the backwardation in 2008.

$5 not $25

You're welcome. :)

We went into massive backwardation on that blow off top. All the spreads blew out. The volatility got so big on those strips that they were trading like outrights excepts firms had on 1000 times the size as those strips usually barely move. When those spreads blow out, you see massive...

Alright let's walk through this, conspiracy theories aside. All the monthly strips are trading at .30 to the tick through the end of the year. The calendars trade at a significant liquidity to the outright market. You can move all the size in the world right now by selling the Sept/Oct strip...

That explanation is absurd. And I'll leave it at that.

SPX 30 day stat vol broke under 10 today. And it's September! That along with the record number of bulls everywhere makes me a little nervous. Even Guy Adami is bullish. LOL.

Surf, where is your stop on this? Be very careful here. Do not hold this position without a stop. I watched oil drop 9 pts in a straight line in a single trading session not too far back.

Here is what I think on that without being 100% certain. As long as you disclose all your outside business activities to your firm, there is no issue. At my old firm we had guys doing all sorts of shit on the side. Every year they had to update their outside business disclosure form. This...

I didn't understand your answer. What % of the combiners are only getting the refund each month? Not getting funded. Simply getting the refund. What is that number? I say over 50%.

No, you've stated many times that you felt the "refund" rate was very low. That was the basis of TST is killing it raking in all these fees from the combines. I stated that I thought more then half of the combiners are getting refunds and rolling forward. You said no way. Now, most of the...

Looks like another new trader got funded. Trading Crude. http://www.topsteptrader.com/fundedtradereport

Hey CTD, how did you end up today?

It's one of the ET traders who thinks stops are for sissies. As Michael said, this is what happens when you don't enforce rules on traders. The scary thing is, that guy that lost 18k is looking for someone to back him/her. :eek:

It's looks like the biggest losers were trading Crude as well! :)

That's going to cost you Michael. :)

YES. I concur. Could not agree with you more. I'm simply pointing out that these guys who are raging on this thread (about what I still don't know), but they are contradicting each other with every post. I agree, with no rules, sim trading is fun, it's a game. For the kids ya know. But...

Wait a minute Jose. You said no one was passing the combine. You said TST is making a killing collecting fees because 99% of their guys would never get a refund. Now you're doing a complete 180. So you actually DO agree with me then that most of the guys are getting refunds and therefore TST...
