How does someone get the capital required to turn trading into a business?

You may certainly want to start with the 14-days sim combine.
From there you will get more clarity about what the main issues might be.

 

Yeah, when I did the full-time trading thing, it didn't work for me. Probably because I was trying to day trade instead of swing trade. I believe also with me having a job, there's not so much pressure to be right, whereas before, my fear of losing would handicap me.

 

There are issues? Please explain.

 

passing the combine -even on sim - is not a given.

 

Issues = operator error

 

give us names.

 

One has publicly discussed it on here: Crispy. The other has not so I'm not going to provide his name.

 

Ok thanks.

 

Maverick, Supposedly you got funded - You trading with them still?

 

I'm not sure where you got that from but I have no relationship with them. Surf and I in good spirits did a combine two years ago with them for the purpose of showing how the process works and there is a quite lengthy thread on that as well as several others discussing TST.
