Michael, do you offer any classes that can fix this?
My post on twitter is to show who is up the most money ONLY. It does not mean anything more than that. We all have had a great day in trading. It is who has consistency over time that counts. We also are scouting for those that are meeting performance requirements which show basic proper trading mechanics.
Some recruits will have a 10k day then spend the rest of the Combine giving it back (we all done this at some point or another with our live trading I would bet).. some other recruits have wild ups and wild downs and hit the loss limit on the downs thus dq'ing (disqualifying) them from getting selected for funding for their performance during that specific Combine.
I share this on my twitter usually each day but have been slacking in the last week or so due to how busy I am. It is only when I walk by our risk desk that I get the chance to snap these. Will do it more for you guys.
Follow me on twitter @michaelpatak and you will stay abreast.

CoolTrader - By "position trading" do you mean you're going to carry it overnight/over the weekend, or are you still going home flat every afternoon?
P.S. I'm writing this message on 9/19 at noon CT. As a new member, I think my posts are being moderated so it might not show up for a while.

No, now I think you're just looking for reasons to be a jerk.
There has been countless debate over TST/Patak and their system, and instead of talking out of his ass like everyone else on ET, CTD decided to experience the program firsthand.
Maybe he qualifies, maybe he doesn't, but I'm not really sure why anyone feels the need to come into HIS thread and pile on him for doing what nobody else has thus far.
Please feel free to show the pnl of the other 95%Quote from Maverick74:

According to hitnrun, they are all making money. He said sim trading was easy. Do you disagree?
It's just chickenshit to show 18 profitable traders out of the 200-500 that are playing the game. Ive seen people kill it on sim, I've mentored traders that think they are ready and 90-95% of the time once they go live it all falls apart. Sim is great for testing a strategy or figuring out a platform but it gives a false confidence to those who use it for to long.
Wait a minute Jose. You said no one was passing the combine. You said TST is making a killing collecting fees because 99% of their guys would never get a refund. Now you're doing a complete 180. So you actually DO agree with me then that most of the guys are getting refunds and therefore TST is NOT collecting all these fees and making a killing. Is that the story you are going with now Paco? You can't have it both ways.
