Hi Nemesis,
Michael Patak had a question-and-answer thread here on ET at the site below:

Also, several traders on this board and at other popular forums have taken the combine and a few have passed it. Some of them kept journals of their combine experience. The two most interesting journals I have read so far are shown below.

Best of luck in your search.

It's legit. I've met the owner. All your questions can be answered by reading through their website. I don't work for them and they keep changing their structure so I don't want to give you incorrect info that is not up to date. If you REALLY have an edge, you should be able to pass the combine. If you DON'T have an edge, you'll do what most do on here and bitch about the risk limits. If you are going to risk 10 ticks to make 1, don't even bother. If you are going to avg down until the trade goes in your favor, don't bother. Just being honest with you here. If you get one thing out of the whole process it's probably going to be the realization just how tough this is and how much more work you still have in front of you. And it will keep you from blowing through your 30k in savings. Good luck.
