Thank you for that you're right... That's part of the picture... Never traded crude... traded XOM which somewhat correlates with oil... (sure that's debatable)... Thank you for that... makes sense...!
Going to the Futures Trading 301: Market Relationships (under Technical Analysis) class with TST Hoag... Looking to review this as well...
Top traders in the combine. Looks like today's p&l. https://twitter.com/MichaelPatak/status/248445278804389889/photo/1
Pretty much all of them traded crude... Vulgar99 made enough today in FX to beat the combine...! Nice... A few of them (like Auctionere let's say) are actually under "practice not reviewed" so they're not in Combine...
numbers all look great on sim , just try that with real money You would be lucky to make a few hundred If everyone can do those figures with a live account . you would be a millionare
trading crude is where the money is these days for tst traders Lol most traders do make money on sim , not sure what's happening with ctd , still early in the game
Hitnrun, perhaps you did not read the other threads on TST, but 99% of ET was complaining about how HARD this sim was, not how easy. There was at least 100 pages of debate on this. Everyone kept saying the rules are too hard. They kept saying TST is making a killing because the combine has a 99% failure rate. All a trader has to do is make one dollar in profit and follow the rules to get their combine refunded. And across the board, a majority of ET thought nobody could do that. But you are saying it's easy? I'm not saying you are right or wrong. But you are in disagreement with almost every poster who was criticizing this firm. And you certainly aren't making cooltraderdude feel good about himself right now.
I got killed on ES that's what happened... Simulator is easier than real money, much easier... Today I just got caught up in that crappy zone and I got killed. I'm a scalper... I'm not going to do anymore scalps... I think I'll just stick with position trades so less trading, bigger swings...
