topsteptrader combine for Oraclewizard77

I happen to be in the middle of a combine as well.

Current stats so far.

 

What trading period did you choose?10 days?Meaning you`ve made $500 for the ten days,right?

 

Nice trading, Lucrum. take out those 3 fat losses and its quite impressive.

Sorry,didn`t pay attention on the attached.It`s all there.Not bad stats,you should probably be qualified with this stat.

 

Very good job. I wish I followed my rules today. Will try to do better Wed.

 

Thanks, my average win/loss was also in the green until day before yesterday.

IF I could avoid any big losing days I figure making my average winning daily amount for the duration would "get er done". Assuming the same winning daily percentage though will require over $1200 per winning day to pass. My best day on a previous combine was + $3,000, so theoretically anyway I can do it.

On a side note, my best days occur when I'm not worrying about average hold times and win/loss ratios. PROVIDED, I don't let any losers run into the land of stupid.


My pre-trading prayer:

"Please God...don't let me fuck up"

 

Trade Well My Friend

btw - we all fuck up - keep em small

You're willing to "flirt" with the daily loss limit. Is there any way you can cut that in half? :eek:

 

To be honest, flirting with the loss limit is precisely why I haven't passed a combine before.

 

You want to treat the market like a casino treats its paying customers.

However, YOU are TST's paying customers. The STRINGENT RULES are in place for them to have the OVERWHELMING EDGE and treat YOU like a casino. As a prospective employee, YOU DON'T PAY YOUR FUTURE EMPLOYER TO GET A JOB! IF YOU DO THEN >>>YOU<<< ARE THEIR JOB! [And I don't mean that in the sense of some pct cut for trading Other People's Money.]

Most of you are too young to remember "The Waltons" episode where a company is eager to publish John Boy's stories. He finds out, after it's too late, that HE HAS TO PAY the publishing costs for the books! So, of course they were eager. They'll print books for anyone who pays to have them printed!

You hard heads won't listen to Donna. Take 100% responsibility for your risk and you will receive 100% of the reward. Use the time you don't have 10K of excess cash to your name to save and spend some seed money on real-time data to trade ONE Crude futures contract. If it takes 2-3 years (or more) to find your edge and take command of your emotions, so what?! It's a done deal after that and then your only job is to FLAWLESSLY EXECUTE your trades, win or lose, and collect the positive residuals which accumulate over time. This is true investing in yourself.
