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

Quote from Maverick74:

Don, the reason I keep asking you if you are with me is because it's very obvious you are not reading this thread. There have been over 20 pages about me and surf doing a combine. Surf asked me to do it with him as he is going to write an article about it. Michael also personally asked me. I didn't want to do it really as I have a shit load of positions on right now. But since no one else stepped up, I agreed to it. There is no profits to split as it's a combine!!!!! LOL. Seriously, I know we have discussed this about 18 times now. You keep giving me a hard time by talking down to you but Don, you are not doing a good job keeping up here.

So anyway, yes, Michael offered Surf and myself a freebie to demonstrate what the previous guy couldn't. Going through the entire process. Don, can I ask you a serious question. Do you really not understand this? Or are you just being coy for some other reason?

1. The reason for a combine, according to you and others is to get funded for a profit split account. Therefore my question about caring about being backed and splitting profits.

2. OK, so you're going to paper trade with Market Surfer, fine, great. As I said, I'm going to follow this stuff as well, it may get accepted by my magazine.

3. What big positions are you holding these days? Just curious.

Hey, I was challenged and I answered the challenge. I have this funny feeling very few of our ET super stars will step up and do this. I rarely ever turn down a challenge.

On a further note Don, I would like to see YOU do a combine! Are ya up for the challenge? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Thanks but no thanks, I keep busy with actual trading, LOL. I did think about it for a second however.

But, have fun Mav, and as I said, I'm sure you'll do well.

No, the reason for doing this demo on ET was because TST was getting attacked relentlessly by some of the locals here. So they became a sponsor and offered a few free combines to explain what the process is.

I didn't hear if you said you wanted to showcase your "talent" Don. :D

I currently am long a shitload of risk reversals in ES options as well as a pretty sizable bond option position short vol and leaning a little long deltas. Any other questions? LOL.

Sorry. I was referring to when Michael put the challenge out there. I heard a lot of crickets at the time.

Don, come on, you hardly trade these days. I'm carrying far more deltas right now then the opening orders or whatever you play around with while at the office.

I see this is going to be the common excuse given by guys who don't want to go under the spotlight. I'm busy with my own trading. LOL.
