    The Top Step Trader Combine: Cool Trader Dude

    I'm not sure what to tell you except that you probably accidentally clicked something on that DOM that is modifying the order. I think they have tech support on the software. Call them and see if there is a button that will re-store the original settings. Maybe try logging off and logging...

    Can you try clicking on the one lot icon for me. Perhaps you accidentally clicked on a larger lot then you are allowed to trade. Just click on "1" then try placing a bid.

    The Top Step Trader Combine: Cool Trader Dude

    It's kind of hard for me to see what you are doing wrong if I can't see it. If you click the bid column ABOVE the current market, you should get a market order that automatically buys the current offer. Does it o that?

    If everything is black, then you simply need to click BELOW the current price in the bid column to put in a bid and if you want to sell, ABOVE the current price on the right hand side where the offer column is.

    OK, let's stop and take a deep breath here. You need to spend a day watching all the videos on T4. That platform is not as intuitive as say Ninja Trader. You probably have the "S" clicked. It will be lighted red if it is. You need to click that again and turn it black. This will allow you...

    I believe the one year is a non compete. Not a lock up like in the prop equity world.

    The Top Step Trader Combine: Cool Trader Dude

    You're in the wrong month. LOL. We rolled to Dec. No biggie, I use to make that mistake all the time when I first started. This is what a combine is good for! Learning how the futures market works!!!!!! You need to roll all your contracts. If you want to know what the active market is for...

    Which Prop Firms provide the best mentorships and training?

    I hear you. I've known Don for 10 years and he can be, shall we say "insensitive" at times. Don, like many people his age, are VERY judgmental in character. He also sees the world through the lens of his business. BTW, before Don's brother got him into trading, he sold jet ski's in Nevada...

    The ACD Method

    Hi dv, I've discussed this a few times on here in the past, mainly as a cautionary tale. Like most kids in college, I was broke. I traded equity options starting with a few hundred bucks and built that up to a quarter of a million dollars at it's peak. Obviously, it was NOT skill. I didn't...

    Keep in mind that if the trader wants to leave TST, they can at any time and get that "cushion" money paid out to them. At a typical prop firm, your cushion money is gone. As far as how does the investor analyze their return, I honestly have no idea. This is the only part of their model...

    "Arbitrage" Movie

    So I saw this movie over weekend. I thought the film was OK. Reminded me a lot like "The Perfect Murder" with Michael Douglas. Both guys sitting on losses they are trying to hide. Both guys have the perfect family that is not perfect. Both guys trying to cover up a murder. Both guys have a...

    Mav's Combine Proposition

    That's the idea. I guess you can say that about the entire prop business model. Hell, you can say that about the entire hedge fund industry.

    Matt Drudge, just come out and say you want to give Tebow a blowjob, already

    He's the backup quarterback. How many plays were you expecting him to play? Until the Jets are winning consistently, he shouldn't be playing at all.

    See, they don't look at it that way and it's why I posed the question to them about monthly payouts. They don't see that 40k in open p&l as their money yet therefore you are not losing their money. They only see it as their money when you take out a withdrawal. I personally think they should...

    Mav's Combine Proposition

    Two completely different deals. Mercenary is taking guys "already" with a track record who are willing to "fund their own" account to put up some numbers over a year. Based on those numbers, they introduce you to outside capital. This combine is more for guys learning how to trade which...
