    Does Anyone Know if Anekdoten or Audtodidact Trader Still Exists?

    You are a reminder of why I do not like places like this. I politely ask for proof, and you give me no proof. Instead, you decided to insult me. I find it interesting that Anek would always talk about not trusting snake oil salesmen in the threads on ET. Not only that, the IRC chat logs...

    Does Anyone Know if Anekdoten or Audtodidact Trader Still Exists?

    Just curious, do you have proof of this? Not the vibe I got from him.

    Does Anyone Know if Anekdoten or Audtodidact Trader Still Exists?

    I have been studying through numerous forums and threads and was wondering if this trader still existed in ET, Twitter, or some other type of online space. I have learned quite a bit from their teachings and was hoping to continue my learning process. Anyone have any idea if this trader is...

    I failed the combine today by exceeding my limits. Overall, it was a good experience trying out for my first combine and I now know what to expect from their program in the future. I just wish I would have finished as strong as I started. TST has an incredible program and I recommend it to...

    You are right, that is exactly what I did. Going to take some time off to get my head straight.

    Day10 Could not seem to get it together today. I am in a massive slump right now and combine account is slowly deteriorating. Finished $-2940 today, my third bad day in a row. If I am going to pass the combine at this point, I am going to have to snap my losing streak, have a few big days...

    Yeah, barely got by in a very non-pro like manner. I should have stopped earlier, but I didn't and got lucky I didn't bust it.:(

    Thanks for the support, I need it. My downfall this week had a lot to do with what was going on at my house. Ultimately though, it was my poor judgment in many different ways. I will try and dig myself out next week by making a couple adjustments.

    1 .Yeah, I have been pretty lucky with not busting the daily loss so far. It shouldn't even get to that point. 2. I don't believe that it does. From my understanding from what I signed up for before the changes, I would have to have my account dip below $145,500.

    1. I have been down a good chunk of change and dug my way out. Actually, I have done it many times in the past, just having difficulty lately. 2. Yeah, you are right, I need to make some adjustments or I won't make it.

    Another tough day for me in the combine. This week did not go as planned and I need to make some major adjustments if I want to succeed in this combine. Anyway, $-2955 today and not much else to say.:mad:

    Thank you for the encouragement, I need it. I do not have a scalping system like you mentioned because I don't feel I need to do that to pass the combine. The rules I signed up for stated: Each product traded must have a Trading Average greater than $0 and meet at least TWO of the...

    Well, two days now unfortunately, but thanks for the kind words. I mostly just trade off of PA I guess you could say. I am not much of a fan of indicators, tea leaves, or moon cycles. lol

    Day 8 Bad trading today and I should have not traded. Got to bed kind of late, my son kept us up all night crying, and I was just too tired to perform the way I should have. Not to mention, I felt rushed trading with family in town. CL seemed choppier this morning which I also seem to...

    Day 7 Here are my TopStep Trader results for today and so far for the combine. It seems like they changed the format a little bit for keeping track of the results. I think this has to do with them changing their overall trading requirements/rules.

    Today started off a little rocky and the volatility caught me a little off guard to be honest. It seems like volatility has picked up a notch since I last traded last week. If things get more volatile, I may be forced to decrease my size and widen my stop a little. For now, I will continue to...

    Day 6 The price action of crude was incredible today to say the least. I caught a piece of the first leg up and that was enough for me to finish up for the day +$1165. I was anticipating a follow through move, but I ran out of time and missed it because I had a contractor I had to deal...

    Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. I will try to post some charts in the future explaining what I do if time permits. I still only trade 3 lots, but I like to add when a trade goes in my favor and price is doing what I want. I prefer scaling in and closing the entire position. In my...

    Day 5 Today I had my highest daily profit in the combine so far +$3885. I had a really nice trade at the end of the day that brought me from slightly down to extremely up for the day. Unfortunately, I had a couple sizable home runs turn into singles earlier in the day that made my day much...
