Thanks for update RDK91,
If a trader hit drawdown, its not a bad thing. Perhaps when started trading the trading strategy does not meet current market conditions. I have experienced this a few times while trading in the combine.
With a $2K drawdown choosing the time or market condition to start trading is a challenge. You have to think of long term, especially if trading systematic. Even discretionary trading.
Also, don't forget the trader have to escape this drawdown of $2K three times. One in combine, another in FTP phase, and another when finally funded. So the smart thing to do don't worry about reaching the profit target, focus on trading a stratey of some sort that does not have a max drawdown of $2k.
Also, keep in mind, the trailing drawdown stops once balance is up by $2k. So lets say, you make $4K, well now you have a $4k drawdown. I hope this makes sense.
So if the coaches, have not pass the combine yet, its no big deal.
Still working on this myself.
I never said hitting a draw down is a bad thing, i am only saing the coaches are 185$ from their max draw down and then just stopped updating/trading.
If they hit the limits they shouldn't hide it and maybe even start over, like most of their clients would.
Nothing against the coaches but they are the ones who are training other traders, have 30 year experience, call you every day and want to know why you have a bad day.
It would be nice to see some proof from those who call themself professionals.
I have almost never seen trainers/coaches who are profitable themself and it looks like we have another example here.
Ps, i perfectly understand the combine rules and how TST works. But thanks for explaining
