Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

@StockTrader100k. I believe SMB has the right program. Sure they take 50% of the profits but they take all of expense. They up your Maximum Loss Limit once you are consistent and doing well. I just feel like it's more of a main street thing and I like that.

I am using OneUp because their customer service has always been awesome to me and they are straight forward. Some would say " but they start you off on a demo account pretending to be a funded account". Then show someone complaining about OneUp not honoring their profits, I would say. Also, you are funded within 2 to 3 business days and that's quite a feat imo. TST I have been with, but you never know what you gonna get from them.

All in all I think the trailing drawdown is a bunch of BS, more so with OneUP than TST and Earn2Trade.

Alright I failed the TryOut Last week on SMB :(. I am using LeelooTrading now. Doing well so far but I have to cut out the gambling format which consists of overtrading and high Daily Loss Limit and Trading on Sunday nights. This week I will be doing things differently. Check back in on Friday/Saturday for an update :).
 
So the week was rough with LeeLoo. Started off great, 3 days profitable up 4300 dollars on the account but on Thursday had melt down and had to Reset. Now I am up 900 dollars and I trade one Trade/Day on this account for discipline and not overtrading. Earn to trade bigger lots right :).

I am with OneUpTrader atm. Made my 9k already, should be funded in the next two weeks. Just did a reset for the first time with SMB. Platform I am using is Ninja Trader.

If all goes as planned, I will try one or two more companies as well for the combines.

I also have a micros account with amp futures which I use as practice. Funny that I have not blown it up yet.

Are you in any Trading Combine and if so, which company/companies?

Best of luck - sounds like you're making progress.

Quick question: I thought there was a rule prohibiting a trader from having more than 2 "funded accounts" at these funder companies, no?

I thought I saw a post about this rule in a forum some months ago -- forget exactly where...
 
Not that I am aware of. I know that I cannot have rithmic and NinjaTrader open at the same time because of CME new rule. If I do have NinjaTrader open and I log into rithmic, NTrader will automatically log off of that company.

I think the rule is you can't have more than 1 funded account at any given company. So you can't have 2 TopStep funded accounts, but 1 TST and 1 E2T and 1 LeeLoo etc is fine.

How do they track your performance. I thought Rithmic was instrumental in that.
