Saying you passed a trading test is one thing but claiming long-term profitability with the intent of trolling is another. The OP got the reaction he was looking for.
LOL...this reminds me of that scene in "The Devil's Advocate" where Al Pacino is berating God saying, "Look, but don't touch....Touch, but don't taste....Taste, but don't swallow!" If you trade on SIM they say, let's see if you can do it in a Combine. If you do it in a Combine, they want to see FTP...after that, a check. Then a year of profitability could be luck, so they want to see 5 years...geeze...lol.
Why do you think that is so ? Why would a firm who gets paid when you get paid want to create rules that limit your success ?
That's a whole different ball game on risk exposure. Why do you need to hold through the close ? I believe they allow trading at the reopen so in theory you could hold the position for 22 hours?
On you combine it says 33% win rate ? I thought tst required 45-50% or better to pass ? How many contracts were you trading and what product ?
cQUOTE="Pekelo, post: 4331911, member: 39548"]That is one big ass size of pile of bullshit. There are plenty of profitable traders who wouldn't pass the combine, Big Mike is one of them.[/QUOTE]Can you back that up; that Little Mike is a successful trader...let's see the proof.
