Illini,
Were you provided a report of your trading? Were you contacted by Earn2Trade when you were finished eventhough you did not get funded? I am curious if you got some sort of trading statistic or printout...During your Gauntlet were you ever contacted?

No we do not provide a report to Helios if they do not pass. Each report requires our staff to do an actual personal analysis of the trading and give our input/recommendation as to their trading. Since we try and market to existing profitable traders and not new traders, we do not feel it's beneficial to bug traders during their Gauntlet. We are always here if a trader needs anything but we try and just let a trader do their thing. We used to have a statistics dashboard when we were with CQG but it was rarely used because the majority of traders have their own trading platform which can provide more up to date and advanced statistics. Sierra and NT both provide detailed statistics. We're working with Rithmic API to build a similar dashboard but it's not high on priorities because of the points made above.
You are providing a great resource. I noticed you are offering the bootcamp to those that feel they need it.

Ryan in the end...you will have an entire group of profitable traders over at Helios. Sure they come and go...but the churn will cause the good traders that stick with you to rise.
Your business model is fascinating.

ES: I trust Ryan's answer is sufficient but I do keep a detailed spreadsheet of my own with all the stats that I need ie. winning percentage, ave profit to ave loss ratio, cumulative and by instrument traded etc. Congrats on your good day and new total profit high. Keep grinding it out. You win-loss ratio is very impressive.
Question to Ryan: When I did the Gauntlet the commission was $4.44 but in the ES attached report the commission calculates out to $3.64. Is that the new commission that the Gauntlet uses now? If so I will plug that into my Sierra sim testing instead of the 4.44 that I am using.
I am soooooooooooooo thankful that nothing got reported to Helios on my disastrous first attempt. I am pretty sure I set a record for the worst Gauntlet performance ever.

Hey - As mentioned earlier in this thread, if someone trades only certain things, we can adjust the commission if it would be lower. They just need to reach out and let us know what they trade.
I requested a blended rate (the default rate is a "fit all" attempt) due to the constraints that Rithmic has. When you get funded and go live it can be set instrument by instrument. I am trading CME and CBOT. At the time I signed up for the Gauntlet I was trading the ES and the ZB only. I had twice as many trades in the ES that I did in the ZB.
I now trade ES, NQ, YM, RTY, ZB (CME & CBOT) and am confident I can remain a profitable trader for Helios. I do not know how much I will be charged for two exchanges after I get funded but for the Gauntlet there was no charge eventhough I requested a second exchange.
If I pass the Gauntlet but there is a problem with the changes I made midstream and if I must do another 60 days with my current method then so be it. I have already got my money's worth with what I have learned trading the Gauntlet thus far.
Earn2Trade has been very forgiving of my rule changes...(I think). I will probably get asked some questions during my personal analysis about why I changed methods in the middle of the whole thing.
I did not choose the "freestyle trading plan" as I want the BEST offer. I hope that after my personal analysis I can present Helios with what they need to feel confident about their risk management. I have never violated my loss rules no matter what I trade.
