I think that is fair to a point. Physical sports are unique in that respect. But as I did point out, almost all coaches DID have the physical aspect at an earlier time. They may not have been an all star, but let's be honest, even playing collegiate sports is one hell of a fucking...

Actually, most educators don't trade at all. The unscientific survey I have done from talking with these people and having drinks with them is they don't trade. Now to be fair, most of them did trade at one time or another. For example, in the NFL, the head coach doesn't actually play nor...

Brett Steenbarger had some good articles about this some time back when he kept a daily blog. I believe he broke traders down into 3 categories. I'm going by memory here so maybe a little off. These are the so called successful categories obviously. First group is the scratch trader...

Good luck man! It all starts with the right attitude.

Well, it depends on the prop firm. If a prop firm is full of only discretionary traders, then yes, the 5% number holds well. There are many firms that engage in HFT and arbitrage and market making where obviously the success rate is much higher. Those would be the salaried firms of course.

Bagger, patience is one of my strengths. The irony with all the trolls on this thread is through sheer randomness, you get some gems. :)

That's what I thought. You have no tangible advice for those who want to do this for a "living". Thank you for finally admitting it. I give you credit. Maybe you should start your own thread espousing advice for those want to want to work in IT support and trade on the side as a hobby. It...

No, but now you have a very wide range to work with. LOL.

And the rent gets paid how? I missed that part. :)

The company is only two years old and their first year my guess is they had very few people. Even getting the refund you had to make a 7% return. Very few guys did their combines their first year. Now on to year 2. My guess is they have 100 to 200 paid combines a month and maybe 50 to 100...

I think you've got the wrong Ammo. LOL. And I'm not that young, unfortunately.

Oh don't get me wrong. Quote the contrary. Not blaming you at all. I give you kudos for stepping up and still do. I'm not knocking your trading, never did actually. I'm just pointing out that you are spending far more time focusing on the model then on the basics of futures 101 which is...

OK skipper. :)

You know what's funny CTD, if you put in as much time with your trading as you did with your analysis of TST, you wouldn't have blown out in 5 days. I mean seriously, you have put hours upon hours into whether this model is a scam or not yet couldn't even take 5 minutes to figure out what the...

I think we are on different planets. I'll leave it at that. Good luck with your trading and please stay off these threads.

Yeah, but those numbers aren't correct. So garbage in, garbage out.

Yeah, you did. You said 95% of the guys were not getting refunds. When in fact 50% are. Thank you for leaving. I asked you 10 times to give a young trader advice and you were 0 for 10. If you actually posted something that could help someone, that would be different. But man you can't even...

You just have one excuse after another don't you? I refute one of your lies and attacks and you have 4 more sitting in your pocket. For the record, I have no idea if he trades or not. He hardly posts during the trading day. And I highly doubt he is a scalper. The guy has been a floor trader...

Absolutely completely disagree with you. TST is NOT for scalping and most guys who pass do NOT scalp. As CTD realized when he did his combine, even he said it, no way you can pass this by scalping. TST does NOT encourage scalping. In fact, quite the opposite. They tell guys to be patient...

Ammo, let's try this again. I am not interested in helping Lucias. There are a million Lucias's out there. I can't help them all. Your "solution" cannot revolve around me teaching the world how to trade. Telling him to find his inner self and all that new age crap is great, but he needs a...
