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

I want to do the 2 week 50K combine. Yes, I will post daily results. What do you have to fear?

 

I need peace of mind if I am to trade successfully. I can`t risk being destabilized by a flame thread and politics such as the one we`ve seen here.

 

Maybe a little off topic. I can walk and chew gum at the same time. But I can't trade and be in a chat room at the same time.
Too much noise and BS.

Agreed. Plus, why would I want to listen to other traders? Might give me a bias that's not my own.

 

Totally agree. My system works, through the good, the bad, the ugly.

 

I agree to all four previous posts, nil distractions required, not even a radio or TV. I prefer total silence, but in between trades get outside for exercise. Posting on ET while trading draws you into a debate which is often hard to extricate from, so better not start is my opinion.

 

Yep!

 

Perhaps once one has a system down pat and proven to be rock solid and reliable one can afford distractions, but during a system development stage I require total focus in order to succeed and not make blunders, but even then still make blunders

A system is like a Ferrari(good thing for spellcheck). Always needs finre tunning to get better performance.

 

What distractions, I am going to post after a trade ends, not while I am in a trade.
