    No deposit but a fee to participate. Fees and combine rules outlined on their site.

    What the hell is a combine? The only combine I know is the machine you harvest grain with, and that's called a combine because it combines cutting and thrashing, which used to be two separate operations. So what is being "combined" in these "combines" Ya'all are talking about? Seems to me it is nothing but a trading contest with specific rules.

    It is, but they use the sport analogy of:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Scouting_Combine

    Or we could say, they combine the candidates' talent with the company's money.

  7. I asked the same thing a couple of years ago. Evidently it has to do with the NFL and their recruiting methods. Kind of "try before you buy" kind of thing I think.

    Vegas needs to get an NFL team. I knew what a combine was when I was 7 years old, but I then again, I was one of those weird guys that liked watching football. :)

    How is the health holding up Don?

  9. I cannot understand why I never heard the term before. After all those great years of Joe Montana and the Niners, back in the 80's when I was on the PSE, weird.

    Health is "ok" - trying to prepare for another heart operation sometime soon. I'm in the 12th year of my 8 year warranty on my aortic valve, LOL. But doing ok. Thanks for asking, John.

  10. I have got my third rollover combine in a row. Just started new Combine.
    Should have made last time . first 2 weeks were choppy and I made mistakes and was not 100% disciplined which pushed me into 2% DD. Last 2 weeks was not breaking no rules and traded all back moving into small profit.
    This time I am not breaking no rules and being disciplined 100%.
    People who complain about TST rules do not have a clue why those rules are in place.
    Thankfully I finally got it 6 months ago. Better later than never.
