Mav, You haven't made much sense at all lately...You claim that my risking 5% per day is ludicrious but in order to maximize the TST/PTK risk...
Just reading through the answers and read this page http://www.topsteptrader.com/deposit I had mistakenly had the understanding that one...
Mav, I'm not sure where you get all these ideas: yes I do send you many PMs but perhaps you read them sloppily. I don't recall ever to admiting...
Mav..... I use a daily risk limit every day. I limit that risk to about 5% of my acccount. I always limit my loss to my daily loss limit (or to...
Mav, All the math I've shared makes sense to others. All the numbers come from either Mr. Patak, who has been generous to answer all my...
Actually.. my analysis was wrong. You're not really given $800 risk capital because you do essentially a 50/50 split (60/40 at lowest level unless...
Previous arrangement I suggested was fair.. another way to look at it is that a trader has to hit an abnormal return for them to be considered...
Mav, I know full well what notional return is. You can't make a comparison anyway because most equity/hedge funds produce value based on...
Mav mentioned Pulsarcap. Anyone have experiences with them? http://pulsarcap.com/our_approach/trader_guidelines It looks like they...
Thanks Michael for answering my questions. I think it is a good thing that you don't charge previous traders who pass the combine a fee....
TST_Hoag Does this mean that all future combine fees are waived or just the first one? This is important because I've claimed that it is...
Michael, I appreciate that you've taken the time to answer my questions. However, your answer raises a lot of other questions. It is my...
Wanted to bring this back to the front... TST_Hoag Thanks for the reply. Your answer was NOT showing up there earlier. Unfortunately, your...
I mostly trade the ES, and I'll agree with Maverick. Hitting these numbers on ES is going to be extremely difficult.. better to try crude or...
Interesting thoughts.. I'm not 100% sure if the risk limits are the same in the combine though. I don't believe they cut you off when you are down...
Mav.. yes would be interesting to discover. Keep in mind I'm asking for traders who cleared various hurdles versus "consistently profitable"....
Volente, you must have misread. I have my own account funded, live trading futures, and I've nearly doubled it. So, I have my own account and it...
I will say it again. I think the negativity on Maverick is misdirected and unwarranted.. See my last post for fuller explanation. What really...
We've already established that TST/PTK has posted some misleading figures. They show on their website that they fund one with 30k account when in...
HurricaneUS, unfortunately, I think you are more then likely right: they are stonewalling. And, its a shame because there are so many schemers out...
