I blew it again. I find their daily loss limits awfully tight. Still my fault for blowing through them of course.

YM and ZB were net negative though with the criteria I asked for and got that wouldn't have disqualified me. Also neither hold times or avg win vs avg loss were part of the custom criteria.

1) To trade more than one market has to be proportionately tougher because it's as though each additional market traded becomes a "separate" Combine to satisfy. You were trading three markets. You had to "work" three-times as hard compared to someone else who is only trading one market. :eek:
2) It seems you're risking too much, too often, to make too little, too infrequently. The use of "time stops" could help you decrease losses and their time duration. :cool:
3) I'd be curious to see your entire report and any other "quirks" within your numbers. :)
4) Good luck with it if you continue but be willing to make adjustments. :D

I stopped trading YM and ZB a little over half way through.

I do, it's long been my Achilles heel.

I can show the entire thing if you like but it's more of your "2)"

1) Good. Get rid of them altogether. :cool:
2) That's bad, really bad. :eek:
3) I would want to see if you're getting within ~$5 of your daily loss limit on a losing day. Again, that's bad, really really frickin' bad. :mad: :(

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.

Bump. Can a funded trader take time off (months at a time) and still remain funded?

And good job Crispy!
 
I searched on the combine website, but I couldnt find exactly what products I'm allowed to trade. Is it only futures? THanks,

I do pretty well with my own accounts, but I don't think anyone will give me a job without a track record at a real firm. So I signed up for the combine. Wish me luck. If you're thinking that you "do well" then why work with someone else? Because I want to be on magazine covers :)

Here are my results (verified-LIVE). I just have to be careful with the drawdown and holding period.
