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

Quote from marketsurfer:

The "talented individual" is mostly hearsay or unsubstantiated rumors. When they do exist, its often "inside information" or other edge that simply is unreplicatible. Jack hershy types working alone in their basements and cracking the TA code are myths and creations of overactive imaginations.

Agree with you that some edges are very hard to replicate, though.

30 of 5400 make the combine.

0.5% success, 99.5% failure.

If some of them quit or lose funding it could be down to 0.3% success.

But those are all daytraders. I think swing and position traders probably have a higher success rate...

daytraders better polish up our picks and shovels... market will be opening soon.

I disagree.

that statement sums up roughly 90% of your contribution,do you have any other records we could listen to

Show me the successful savants --- so many post on elite, should be easy to find a few. Heck, they are even afraid to paper trade the Combine. Wonder why?

This was real money Surf. It says for last week my win% overall was 80%. However, I will need to concentrate on performance for the combine and go for longer targets if I want to meet my goal.

Looking forward to it. I hope you prove me wrong about TA, but I won't bet on it. Waiting for creative excuses....

You guys must be scared to be exposed as dreamers and TA faithful, otherwise th Combine would be a no brainier. Why don't you step up to the plate?

Isn't it obvious? Anyone doing the combine is 1) in desperate need of capital or 2) trying to create an image to profit from. Traders with real edge have no need for either of those things.

3. Think they have an edge but are afraid to be tested against an objective standard because they would rather keep on pretending.
