I agree for the most part. I think you would not have much success layering more then once though. Maybe you could get up to a 5 lot in the ES but but layering crude? Not a chance. At least not without hitting that 1k limit. Crude can pop 80 ticks on a one minute bar. Today is a great...

Joe, you can actually completely customize the live combine metrics as well. Pretty much do whatever you want. As long as you give it to them before you start.

Yup, not much going today. Spent most of the day trading my other account. Made one trade in the Euro and it was not even a good trade. Was on the wrong side of that and luckily got out before risk assets lifted. I did miss two sweet bond trades early. Wanted to sell crude twice but the...

I think a lot of guys here are not realizing they can trade their "own" accounts along side this account. In fact, they can trade completely different strategies or use different risk thresholds between the accounts. They can trade their own account more conservatively and trade the TST...

Let me try to explain this. They allow "anyone" to customize a combine, usually making it more copacetic for their particular strategy. However, if you make one criteria easier, you have to make something else harder. Not "everyone" will want to do this. At first glance, looking at this...

Well, technically only 9k of that 15k is yours. The other 6k is their equity. So you are risking giving back theirs and your equity. This is based on the 60/40 split.

Two words...custom combine.

Latest funded trader. Guess what....trading Crude!!!!

Do NOT trade QM. Please. Unless you are a swing trader and are going to hold it. Ticks are twice as wide and the order book is EMPTY! I'm dead serious. You'll get 5 ticks of slippage on stops. Sometimes 10. Take that for what it's worth.

Why would you trade the e-mini? Hardest and slowest product in the world to trade. But let's say you are absolutely obsessed with trading the e-mini. I agree, no reason to trade that with TST. Trade that in your AMP futures account or whatever under capitalized soon to blow up FCM of your...

Jack, I think I can answer this. It's my understanding that once you meet the capital threshold, you can trade as much as you want in terms of size. So there really is no limitation. I think those numbers are 5k and 10k.

I'm sorry. My bad, crude has 2500 intra-day margins. http://www.tradewithvelocity.com/commissions/new-york-mercantile-exchange.aspx So that's 37,500 minimum to fund the account. Of course one tick against you will create a margin call so I assume you would fund at least 75k just to be on...

No, it can't. Crude has 1500 intra-day margins. That's 22k for 15 cars on crude. BTW, on 15 cars today, crude dropped 60k dollars. Yes, 60k dollars. You really going to fund a 22k account and trade 15 crude? How about 15 Gold? That can move 100k in a single session. How much are you...

Good job Surf! We got ourselves a combine here.

Austin, you can customize your combine to remove the avg winner criteria. Whatever your style is, you can change the numbers to fit your style of trading. Yeah, the platform takes a lot of getting use to. Some guys are getting their limbs blown off in the middle east, we just have to get use...

My order did not go unfilled, it wasn't placed! That was my fault.

Hey Michael, I have a suggestion. I think this could be fun (and violent). I know you talked about setting up an ET combine on a larger scale. Why not set up a tournament of sort with a buy in by the trader. The winner gets a cash prize. You guys can take a cut out of the pot. It would be...

Controversy seems to follow me. Can't someone else take over the role for awhile. :(

Another thing, I think everyone who wants to call TST a scam has gotten it out of their system. Please, going forward try only to post something that "adds" something "new" to the dialogue. There is no reason why this thread should be so long debating the same things over and over again. This...

Jesus, this thread went off the road today. Is there anyway we can keep general commentary about TST on that other general TST thread? Please? I scratched today. Only took one trade in the Bonds this morning. I missed a few others as I was pre-occupied with my other accounts. I should...
