I have no problem with the Coaches failing the Combine. At least they got a taste of what we go through. My problem with them is the TST Performance Coaching program, where these Coaches call you every time when you fail a Combine or FTP for a free coaching session, but if you go to dig in their...

Good-sounding one-liners I can get a dime a dozen in trading.

Pinkman, From what I see from the locations of entries and exits on many of the charts you posted you seem to know what you are doing. RN's commenting style is rather interesting however if it does provide actual value is up to each reader to decide. To me, with all due respect, not much...

Interesting thread as I am currently travelling in China and I have used TradeStation to place trades since Monday. I can say definitely that TradeStation does work in China, however, there is about 1 second delay between placing the order (hit the send button) and seeing the order appear on the...

So the $400k you had went to living in the past 8 years, not trading? Did you find out what you did right in bringing 7k to 400k in the first place? I wish I had answer for your situation.

This book is targeted for the following category: traders who have already figured it all out, but "still have issues". According to some statistics, less than 5% traders who have figured it out. Some of the 5% who have figured out have no more issues that require a shrink, the remaining...

Then wether a trader truly has an edge or wether the edge still needs work becomes a question. That said, perhaps we have different understanding in what constitutes an "edge". An "edge" means to me not only a winning method, but also conviction in such a method. Conviction comes from seeing...

With all due respect to people who found this book useful I found it completely useless. Mark Douglas was super smart though to make it clear that you must already have a winning system, or an edge in trading. Right, however, if you truly have developed a winning system, then you should believe...

Not a day Crispy's end of day account balance dropped below the starting balance. What's more interesting though, this combine's Max Drawdown was set at "none". Michael, does this mean a trader can negotiate a limitless drawdown (up to starting bal of course) or is allowed zero drawdown?

Fool, did your strategy make tremendous success in your account for you to stand out among TS' tens of thousands of users? I don't know what you are talking about. I have used TradeStation for a very long time and I don't think there is an "eye." Actually I feel very much left alone, almost too...

I have read quite extensively on Topstep website and the relevant threads on ET and my conclusion is that this is a brilliant business model for Patak Trading Partners as well as a fantastic opportunity for traders who are (1) short of funds (2) not willing to risk his/her capital to trade...

I have used TradeStation for many years and I really like it. Other than the back-testing, it offers great charts and order entry system. I usually appreciate it all the more after trying out other trading programs, including IB, at different times. TS costs more than many other programs I...

Haha, Nod, didn't expect you to throw three losers. You shocked us :D. I am sure by doing that you endeared yourself to many of the rest of us:p So I got them wrong either....but I took them the same directions as you did! On the same page with Nodoji? Now that's something! Once again...

Nod, Thank you for giving in to my "demand":D. I can see a new thread called Right Edge Challenge getting popular. OK, First chart: short, down trend not over, also price is at a Support-becoming-Resistance level around 89.78, last two little green bars poked above but backed down at...

Hi Nodoji, I like the 3- chart challenge exercise. If you throw another such exercise, could you please indicate price increment for chart, also of all the trades you did right, could you kindly include one example in which you got the trade wrong (I understand the rarity of it :) ). Maybe...

Neke's sinking feeling in trading has been experienced by myself time and time again, though more so before than now. I think the root issue of all problems is more in reading the market incorrectly than lack of discipline. Averaging down is mostly considered a sin in trading, but if done during...

Would never have thought of "New Hampshire" to be in a headline on ET. Yes, Southern NH Peterborough area.

Since you are doing this kind of strategy, instead of using the 9:30am open, how about using the Globex 24 hour open which is at 4:30pm ET? If today closes down, then when ES opens for the new day at 4:30pm you go long, perhaps your chance of hitting 10 points target is higher into the evening...

2Steps, If all your "blow-ups" are true you have my sympathies as those were not unfamiliar experiences I had myself when I started trading futures with relatively small accounts. It seems apparent that you just throw the dice. You need to define what constitutes an opportunity (setup) and...
