Maverick74 and marketsurfer's TopstepTrader Combine (daily trade reports and journal)

Discussion in 'Prop Firms' started by TST_Hoag, Oct 1, 2012.

  1. Most viewers here are not the target audience of such an offer.

    The vast majority of posters here are not profitable, have never been and never will be profitable traders. They are too lazy, too undisciplined and too unmotivated to do what it takes for real success in this profession.

    So that eliminates all of them.

    A smaller percentage have been profitable for periods of time in the past but for whatever reason(s) are not currently, and seek to rediscover their mojo.

    A smaller percentage yet really know how to trade and will accept additional capital if the paramters and math involved make sense. That includes plenty of guys in the stock = stock index futures world who ain't made two real dimes of profit this year and seek opportunity elsewhere.

    The smallest percentage of viewers here in this (or any message board) are consistently profitable and 100% perfectly content right where they are today. This is the group whom you almost never hear from, because they rarely ever make one post any more.

  3. One could extrapolate further logically and ask why would a professional trader post on elite? Why would one ask this question, already knowing the answer? Pro ballers generally don't post on message boards, neither does tiger woods or Agassi. However, there seems to many "supposed" pro traders who rarely lose who post on elite anonymously.

    In regards to those who want "paid". One of the members here requested 50k from me to participate for the 10 sessions. There is only one response needed--- if things are really that bad, maybe you are in the wrong business.

  6. the target market would be skilled traders who are open to more capital offers.

    traders who cannot really trade obviously know that, and won't try to participate.

    traders who can trade and truly have enough capital to meet their personal desires are not candidates

    message board posters who pretend to be successful traders for all the ego reasons men pretend to be what they are not tend to be most vocal of all other groups

  7. I am waiting for the "Main Event" where Michael Patak enters the Combine and tears it up. That's going to be wild like Wrestle Mania.


    WE WANT MIKE! WE WANT MIKE! WE WANT MIKE!

  9. No clue who the target market is really. Only Michael knows. Or maybe he himself doesn't know.

  10. I think your 100% correct. Nice insight.

    By observing who your statement "bothers" the most by their responses will be your mentioned demographic, or those who find humor in noobs struggles. Quite sad but very accurate. Watch the pros go silent now. Lol! surf
