Cooltraderdude's TopstepTrader Combine (daily trade report and journal)

Quote from marketsurfer:

Yeah, but I am 100% game for this. Baron can worry about the moderation. I like the idea alot and want to have personal experience with it--- -- you up for it?

surf

PS the thread will likely get so many hits it will melt down Baron's server in his garage..... its win win win for everyone.

I mean look at this thread. We did 72 pages and it only lasted 5 days!!!!! What the hell man. LOL.
 
Quote from marketsurfer:

Absolutely, I am looking forward to the experience with the Combine,as long as you guys don't mind me mentioning it, or featuring my/our experiences in a future article ( postively, ofcourse win or lose) ------ I am ready to start whenever Maverick is ready to go.
thanks! surf

Quote from Maverick74:

Surf, you realize this thread would attract a world record amount of ET trolls. That thread would require some pretty heavy moderating. :)

If you guys are ok with this we can start it this week or Monday?

Mav and Surf we may eventually have an Elite Trader GROUP Combine where it is open to ET traders only. Showing ONLY ET account activity and trade reports like I post on my twitter (the account board) and how we posted individual trade reports for cooltraderdude. If there are critics, trolls etc with both of your Combines they will have their opportunity to showcase their talent as well when we launch the ET group Combine.

I think we had a great experience with cooltraderdude's and really appreciate the support you guys gave to him. Traders tend to learn a lot when true results are shared each day and then they can hear reasoning behind the "what were you thinking at the time" and "why did you put that trade on." Rain or shine it is a solid experience.

Elite Trader Group combine. Now that sounds interesting! Let's start it on Monday. Let the tension build! I guess I'm in.

But that's just the way it goes... Negative sum game means negative sum game...You would have an edge at this game if the market payed you commissions to trade...Only a small percentage of people can win at this and that's just because they're lucky and right at the same time.

Any method you use will eventually blow up in your face...

If you truly believe this, then why did you even bother with the combine?

without discipline


You lost $1200 sim bucks on a $362,000 position.

Not the end of the world

I still have 5 days but it doesn't matter now...

Sweep to the downside got out of hand... Too many plays, too quickly...

Most of you won't believe me but it will and you'll find out the hard way.

I think I'm pretty much done with trading...

It's been fun, had a blast... But I'm going to get a 9-5 day job now as well... Any job will do...
:D

CTD,

I’ll not sit here and preach… or look down my nose at you – simply not my style


Respect to you for trying

That you tried…, blew up…, then laughed it off – nothing funny about blowing up... Sim or Real


Btw; luck has not one damn thing to do with it... maybe sometimes in the short term… but not as a career

Managing risk – first…, foremost…, always

Quote from CoolTraderDude:

Anyway...

It's all over now...

-$1287.50... Broke one of the Combine rules... Oh well... Kept looking for the bottom on that market and stopped out spectacularly.

The triple bottom was deceiving. When it finally broke, I had a bad feeling......
