We have not announced this anywhere yet but for all those following this, Maverick is getting funded by our equity partner. He successfully completed a Combine and will be working with John Hoagland our Head Trading Coach. Just a little fyi. More to come. mp
these were my criticisms exactly when reviewing the rules of this "combine." I play poker, and I have traded very profitably. Most of the time in poker I fold. In fact, thats is the statistic shared among the to 10 money winners in poker prior to 2008. I don't know the current statistics on top poker money winners. These criteria for the 'Combine' are selecting for an even smaller subset of the already very small subset of traders that demonstrate profitability. My currect systems would not work with this combine.

Pairsarbtoo- Submit your proposal to our scout team. We evaluate many traders different then what you see above if they were first approved. http://www.topsteptrader.com/Customevaluation mp
Magnetar- Maverick didn't accept anything as we never offered him anything. Maverick was in our Combine after initially participating in this thread where I offered a Combine to both of the ET vets, and he continued in the program and ended up earning his opportunity by meeting and exceeding our $150k Combine Objective. Hats off to him. mp
I didnt say you funded him. Your equity source did. What's the difference? Anyways, he's been on here for 10 years and took a stake trading futures at $5 a round-turn. wow.
Congratulation Maverick on beating the combine and becoming a full time emini trader. Hopefully they will ramp up your capital so you can trade large enough size to make a living--- you have what it takes, its just a matter of execution and size from here. Good Luck! surf
Guys- I had updated this post about my mistake on announcing Maverick74 as getting funded last week. I guess the revert back to the old ET site wiped this post. I will reiterate that I made a mistake when seeing the name 'Maverick' come across my desk as the next trader to get funded. I do apologize for assuming it was the Maverick here at ET. We call everyone by their chatnames in the office so there was a bit of confusion. I have met the real Maverick74 here at ET and do owe him a beer or few for the misunderstanding. Sorry about the confusion guys. mp
