Optionbull- recruits in the Combine trade how they want within the parameters allowed. We do not recommend maxing your position. We always say keep the powder dry and wait for the right opportunity. To teach people you have to let them do it how they want first (though we do say prior in our scouting criteria page and emails what we advise is the right way and in our classes each day). Then and IF they do not succeed we provide feedback on what to do the next time using their prior experience to continue to improve and move forward in their trading. baby steps breaks bad habits if you know what your bad habits are.. mp
All Combine and Practice accounts have Commission and exchange fees factored in for accurate read on their performance. We set this at $2.50 per contract (commissions are $1.25/per contract and we add $1.25 for a rough estimate of exchange fees). mp
And it is looking like a super trend day, additional 20 pts up from here. Gotta pick the days. Forcing to trade every day is forcing the ground beef trades when you want to look for steak.
Trading with 5 lots... 5 winners 1 loser for $475 net Combine (which I didn't mean to do today) 3 winners 1 loser for $400 net...
I payed $100 in commissions in combine and $50 in the other account... I'm pretty sure I'm the one that got scalped!:eek:
(Just trying to follow all this, so much input, so little understood, LOL). Are you paying for "sim trades"? I'm thinking "of course not" Not even GS charges for demo or sim accounts. Secondly, damn I forgot, too much reading...oh yeah, what the heck is "combine" supposed to mean? Just new to me. Note to Mr. Patak, as I said in my first PM, "good luck with all this" LOL. Don
