Quote from MichaelPatak:

Laissez- the profit target is a line in the sand. We do not review those that are less than the amount that is standard for the Combine they are in or what they were approved for when they sent a Customized Objective.

You may customize your objective as to avoid trading only for profit. If you do request a lower profit target we will most likely reply with a max drawdown and other metrics so we may see that you have proper trading mechanics and downside control but ultimately a trader needs to produce profits as well.

Would you consider a customized Combine for the $150 000 account with a $10 000 profit target then?

All other performance metrics unchanged.
 
Michael, I have a question. What I ask may or not be possible so whatever your answer is, ends the conversation here. Just so I'm not opening a potential can of worms :)

When I began my combine eight days ago, I made the decision to attempt trading three (3) symbols at once: CL, ZS and NQ in that order of preference.

For logisitical platform reasons, I never got around to working the NQ. That is a symbol I'd like to work with later, more on that in a bit.

I have decided that trading ZS in this program, aka the combine and/or live-trading while funded is of no further interest to me at this time. Maybe in the future, maybe never at all but definitely not now.

So with that in mind, would it be possible to adjust my combine parameters, past performance and final two sessions ahead to reflect CL results only on the basis that I'm only interested in real-time trading CL alone going forward?

If so, that would now accurately reflect what I would trade if funded status. In the near future I would be perfectly happy to run a second $150k combine process for NQ alone and qualify (or not) separately from the CL process.

Whatever the answer is for this request is fine with me and there'll be no further requests or discussion on my part. I'm only asking this question out of interest with the next stage as a funded trader, solely interested in trading CL and not ZS into the medium future if ever at all.

Thank you for your time and consideration with this request :)
 
mp: any updates to allow a continuous trading period for the 20 day combine? (i.e., trading any day during the 60 calendar days with a minimum of 20 days)?
 
If I were to become a funded trader, would I be penalized for periods of inactivity? My real life job is unpredictable and there would be periods of several months that I wouldn't trade throughout the year.
 
I would like to invite everyone to attend a webinar presented by James Dalton (author of Mind Over Markets) right now on our Squawk Radio http://www.topsteptrader.com/TradingFloor.

After Jim's presentation we will be hosting our Funded Trader Draft Day segment. We are announcing TWO new funded traders. One of the funded traders we are announcing is EliteTrader member crispy http://ow.ly/iA9N9

After Draft Day, I will be on Squawk for "In the Know", at this time, you can ask any questions you have about TopstepTrader or becoming a funded trader with us.
