No! LOL. Man you get so close and then blow out at the end. LOL. They don't join a club or pay a fee. Let's keep this simple. Pay to do a single combine. If you make money, you get it refunded it. If you pass the combine, get funded. If you get funded, you also get a refund. That's it. There is no club or social community. LOL. Don, I pray for you.
The number one trader at my old firm LAC was an unemployed 22 year old teacher--- no market experience at all, she made an absolute killing!
Then what the hell is the $150 monthly fee that gives you free advice, a platform, and all the stuff on their website? "I think you are confusing the $150 monthly membership fee and the 1 time combine fee. You dont have to become a member. http://www.topsteptrader.com/membership." Don
MAV ok fair Enough i do see your point on that and i agree...u cant always tell., but maybe u could still weed out the reckless fools who u know will blow up in the future even if they managed to make something early on. I wonder how much TST is actually making in profit so far? They must have big overhead with employees, office space, and oh ya traders losing money for the most part.
Is that Ben from The SP pit? I worked for a few firms back in the day that had him squaking from the pit. Back when there were people actually trading the big contracts in the pit. Was helpful at times .....but with nobody really trading in the pit anymore what use is it listening to him ? I can't imagine these days how anyone trading ES would have any use for knowing what's goin on in the pit.
Disregard that. It will keep things much easier for you. LOL. That's for guys who need some basic education and support to get started.
Yup, that's Ben. He can usually be found sleeping out in the courtyard during lunch over by the CBOE. LOL.
My brother and I won't trade without it. Since both the big and emini's are trading in the same pit, with the size orders coming in, Ben's analysis is great IMO. Apparently so do many others. My buddy was there 2 weeks ago, still quite a number of traders in the pit, added to the "Paper" coming in, still a big portion of the market. Don
I think I'll write an article, following CoolTraderDude's and others progress. Might be of interest to those who keep asking me the same questions about how to get started. Maybe you can contribute your words to the wise? Don
He is/was a trip. "BORSELLINO 50 BID FOR 500!!!!! MERILL BUYING!!!!!!!!!!!!PAPER BUYING EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Always wondered if he was talking up his buddies on the floor books. Also remember the guy in the 30 yr pit on a squak. Basically he was just telling everyone what Baldwin was doing. But then again...back then that's all you need.
