TopStep Combine- Starting 10/29

Quote from atticus:

When are the acolytes actually going to make some money? I think FCX is good people, so it's disconcerting that you're feeding him a line of BS.

FCX is great people. He has gifts I haven't seen since working with a guy back in late summer 2010 who traded me under the table using my own tactics. The irony was that he ended up getting a job with a major investment bank a couple months later and was not allowed to trade his own account any more :p

FWIW I'm not feeding FCX anything except a couple key price action concepts (staying out of trouble during chop/range and with-trend continuation trades using a smaller time frame).

I've given him a few study assignments he's been too busy to do, but he's got a really good head for pattern recognition and seems able to recover from mistakes without a lot of drama, so I think he'll do well :cool:

Gifts you haven't seen... what gifts have you seen in your 3 years of one lots?

Yeah, I remember that guy...! That guy from 2010 was awesome!

Sir, you are definitely not the namesake of our dear Mr. Finch.

Its the same dynamic that attracts the naive to hershey-- nonsense speak, bad english and confusion that can have multiple interpretations seems to attract a certain segment of market participant....
You're discussing your own journal and posts now? :p
 
Quote from austinp:

Monday's start was delayed because of TST = Ninja issues as noted in an email announcement from TST support.

Today there was an internet service provider outage between TST and NT that may have been storm related per the email notice from TST support.

Hopefully those connectivity issues are resolved and it's smooth operations tomorrow onward :)

So Austin, we have not heard any updates. I assume we would have if you knocked it out of the park. What's the latest?

How did the rest of the combine go?

It was ok, I didn't have the time to trade like the first week. I work at a credit union and was preparing our budget all week so I was strapped for time.

I basically stayed in the same place as i was as of my last post. I would win some days and lose some, but I just wasn't quite as invested that second week. Too many distractions!

I do plan on doing the combine again though. I just got Sierra Charts so I can start practicing using their replay feature as well. So hopefully in a few months or so I can give it another shot. Thanks for following up man.
 
I think you are going to really like Sierra Charts, I have been using them for 3-4 years. Support is awesome, along with other users.
 
I tried it out the other night and really liked it. I definitely think it is going to be beneficial. I think there is a way to calculate MAE and MFE with it right? I need to figure out how to use that if so.

Go to "Trade" menu, drop down to "Trade Activity Log", and you will have 4 very detailed reports to choose from. You could see MAE, MFE, and whole lot of other statistics.
