Actually, I wasn't clear in my post. What I meant to say is the daily loss limit imposed by TST combine is WAY TOO HIGH when you factor in the trailing max draw. In other words, if you take a hit near the daily loss limit on any given day, then it's very difficult to play "catch up" given the trailing max draw.
I have plan for increasing number of contracts and the rest which depends upon built cushion. On Combine it is impossible until I moved away form trailing stop far enough which is not my goal. But on live funds it is all about building cushion for each additional contract and managing that cushion reducing position by one contract if for example 2 days full personal daily limit loss hit.
And you're correct, only the 50k and above combines have weekly loss limits as a Jr Trader. So for example, the 50k Jr Trader not only has a 1k daily loss limit, BUT ALSO a $1k WEEKLY loss limit, which means you must structure your plan to manage risk with an average $200/day loss limit PLUS incorporate the trailing max dd. In other words, the "1k daily" is rendered irrelevant, since if you go near it, even for ONE day, you run a greater risk of being sent back to combine.
