Maverick74 and marketsurfer's TopstepTrader Combine (daily trade reports and journal)

Quote from Maverick74:

Not a pro? Down 1% makes me not a pro? My real account swung 5 times more then this account did today. Does that make me not a pro? How about that day I dropped 60k in a single day in 2008. Does that make me not a pro? Curious what your definition of a pro is. And also curious when you are going to do a combine.

The ET trading pros never lose. We all know this!

I'll ask one more time. Can you please troll on the other TST thread. Not this one. It's just as active over there. Stop trolling here. There is no reason for this thread to be over 100 pages long with nonsensical posting. Thanks.

Treat what seriously? It's a simulator. I was asked to go through the process. I am. I stated that I would spend a few hours every morning doing it. I am doing that. It's not real money dude. I stated at the beginning, on the first post of this thread that I have other accounts with overnight positions that HAVE to be dealt with and WILL take priority over a paper money simulator. I stated that out in the open on day one. So what exactly are you bitching about?

AUSTIN P--- how did you do today? Hopefully you made back "our" losses!

In all seriousness, why did you even bother with this? Patak seems very serious about it, Mav is taking it very serious, and you are just acting like some casino gambler at a blackjack table doubling his bet after every loss. Obviously you are just flinging shit against the wall doing a ton of RT's, getting crushed, then claiming you are on a vacation in some far off land doing something much more important.

Out of respect for Patak you should have probably not treated this as a joke. I HIGHLY doubt if you do in fact trade real money (which is in doubt after seeing this debacle) you would never trade this way. Yeah yeah...I know...you have price drivers that trade longer term going for the huge wave..blah blah blah. But newsflash Surf, traders whether long term or day traders have certain characteristics. You can't tell me you would trade like a blow out trader while day trading, but have better risk mgmt doing the longer term.


And if by some crazy chance you do trade this way with your own capital.....my condolences to your trading account.

I did fine with CL, did terrible in executions with ZS. Shorted it all the way from break off highs into the close... and failed to profit. Once again I fumbled keystroke orders when it mattered most, and ZS was not forgiving enough today for masking my execution errors.

Quote from volente_00:

My definition of a pro is someone who trades real money and does not waste time on a sim

my definition of a pro definitely does not include anyone who makes paper trade calls in the chit-chat section of an anonymous message board.

can you agree that would be about the least probable place to find a serious, real-money trader in actual operation?

Austin, you traded 155 contracts of Soybeans today? I'm curious, what was your commissions today?
