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

[austinp]

CL tape had a bad hair day. Total range-chop, very spastic pops and drops, some slippage on more than half the turns. Usually when CL puts in a session like this, it precedes a strong trend day or days to follow. Will be prepared for that scenario if it unfolds tomorrow.

Otherwise, chopped on longs and shorts all day from pullbacks and/or breakouts. Nothing went anywhere, hit my own max loss limit and ceased. The minimum profit objective inside combine limits means you have to press the pedal hard enough to make things happen but not so hard that you crash & burn.

Treading water these first three of ten sessions in the midst of that balancing act.

I saw the TST Facebook page postings. Some of the best daily P&L is coming from crude oil.

One point, I would like to do a combine and get onboard with TST to trade SI. The margins are so high and they take up too much margin in my accounts as I trade other contracts intraday. I like the idea of running SI trades on another account funded by TST.

How close until ninjatrader is part of the program?

1) ?.... "SI", you're referring to silver futures? It appears TST does not permit trading in that market. You might be able to ask for "special permission" to trade it. Verify the status of that market before committing any money to a Combine.
2) Silver is very illiquid. You may be better off in gold instead.

Surf is the "hare" and Mav is the "tortoise" ?

What happened to?

Quote from austinp:

I use this price-measure study to help guide where price itself tells anyone who will listen with an open mind where price itself objectively wants to go.

Like everything I do, this is dependent on no one's interpretation or wild-a** guesswork... just mathematical price measurements of price action itself.

You have used this pitch over and over again where you have tried to mock other traders and imply how easy trading is with after the fact charts.

Two nice dollar swings on that chart.

Not so easy after all?

This question is for Michael P. or any TST representative

Does TST EVER take the other side of traders positions when funded ?

I remind everybody this is a thread about those actually taking the Combine. I'm sure you probably just missed it, but if you have Questions for TST there is another thread for that TopstepTrader and Patak Trading Partners- Any and all questions answered here.
