    If I understand it well,
    The Pro account is the way to go ?
    It's simulated (No fees) ...

    Same for profit but you can exercise it anytime.
    Get the funded account.

    Why would someone go with the funded account ?
    Someone that want to withdraw less than 5k ?

    Guess it's risk free for TST and the prop firm.
    So it's better for them. They make it better for us too.
    If I lose then it's going to be fake money. If I win they give me 5k.
    Then they fund me with these 5k which will act as a cushion (0 Risk)

    Rules are the same.

    I can't figure out why you would do the funded either, maybe someone else can explain.

    One thing I do want to point out is that he said if I was watching the video that means I've passed step 1. That is 100% factually incorrect, I watched the video, but I am not currently in a TST combine nor have I passed step 1.

    Why would anyone go with TST anything after seeing that vid? The guy seems like he just doesn't want to be there, and is being forced to. No excitement, no "atta' boy". Almost like he's on something?

    I have to share the contract URL with you now.
    5K risk free for you.

    I prefer it this way I don’t like clowns.
    He’s not my buddy neither.

    He says "One other benefit of the pro account is that if for some reason you're unsuccessful while trading, you are able to return to step 2 of the trading combine as opposed to going all the way back to step 1 of the combine." So you can save money by paying less after failing when using their simulated $5,000 account?:confused:

    I am glad it's not just me that's confused. The only angle I can see is that it's a test, anyone who picks pro account is considered weak and you wont be considered as an option to lead a massive hedge fund, but if you pick the funded acc it shows you like a challenge therefore they will let you trade a 200 million dollar hedge fund acc once you pass and make more than the 5k.

    I chose the pro account and got to $5000 in month or so.

    The $5000 turned into real money the moment they converted me to a funded account.

    So far my experience with TST has been 1st class and I can't recommend it enough.

    I am waiting for my first withdrawal, when it comes through I will let you know how long it took.

    Is that all the trading capitals they provide you to trade?

    If so, how sad. :(

    Why? in this market environment particularly how it is currently you can make a good bit of money trading small and catching bigger moves. Obviously you'd have to have good setups and understand the market, but if you've passed / trading / are funded with TST than that's probably a given or at least it better be if you plan on using that as your main source of income.

    You can make $60-100+ dollars just trading 1 micro mini contract in this environment on just one trade. You don't need a huge account to turn a decent profit.

    Thanks. And please subtract the cost of your Combines from it.
