See guys this is the problem. We have a lot of people here who subscribe to the "I'm going to take 2k to a million dollars" model. I respect this kids ambition and I'm glad he loves trading. He needs to get a job. Either a trading job that pays a salary (back office, support, etc) or any job...

A 36% drawdown? Losing 9% in a single day? No wonder he thinks these combines are too restrictive. Good lord.

You nailed it traderchi. Here is our little gmst friend: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=239446

Oh Smack! 26 million! http://boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=politicaldoc.htm 2nd highest grossing political documentary ever. Has now surpassed 4 out 5 of Michael Moore's films.

Top Step Trader. There are a "few" threads dedicated to them on the prop forums. You might want to check them out. :)

But your numbers are lying. You, like the others, are not accounting for the refunds. And I have no idea where you are getting 5400 from. A majority of those 500 are rollovers and you can't count them twice as most of them who roll are probably rolling for free. And your 27 number...

Yeah I saw that show and that experiment was an utter failure. It was fun to watch though.

Sle, you figured it out. A few people before you as well, so group credit is given. I would NEVER do this. This was a mental exercise to prove a point. That backing traders is bad business period!!!!! There were accusations on the other threads that somehow TST was making 750k a year...

Satchel, this has all been discussed ad nausem on the other threads. Most of these guys CAN'T get "pre-selected. It's called a job interview. Most these guys wouldn't even get a return phone call from most of the prop firms in Chicago. So if they have no money to self fund and they can't get...

I put the thread under trading but never said the movie was about trading. LOL. Hell that debacle that was Wall Street 2 wasn't about trading either.

The film doesn't exist.

Remain anonymous? LOL. That's probably a good idea dude. I have a feeling after you do the combine we won't be seeing your alias around here anymore. Oh you'll still be here, just under a different name. LOL. I will make it my mission to make sure Michael picks you. I'll even pay for it...

Wow, never read so much bullshit in one post in a long while. First of all, you are too chickenshit to take Michael up on his offer for a FREE combine. NO RISK for YOU. Yet you still make excuses. Unfucking real. Next, can't believe I have to defend the Brights, but Bob Bright has...

They are never going to make 6k in p&l. But they will definitely lose that much. Probably multiples of that. There will be no "risk free proposition" I assure you.

I posted an idea that would offer an alternative to the TST model discussed on the other two threads. So this would involve intra-day only futures trading. No first loss. The backer would absorb all trading losses.

That's my point. But how many do you think they actually have backed? In 40 years. Rhymes with smero.

Lucias, can you do me a favor? I want you to e-mail Don Bright. His brother is worth tens of millions. I've actually heard a bigger number, but let's go with ten of millions. This guy could drop a million in Vegas this weekend and not care. Now they have about 250 traders. Surely some of...

You want to add a salary??????????? LOL. Lucias, thank god we are playing with monopoly money. Man you have no idea how tough this business is. Holy shit. Dude, you need to have your cost and your overhead as close to ZERO as possible. And you need to have your risk as close to ZERO as...
