The problem is trading is not black and white and another persons rules may not work for your style of trading or personality.
So if you fail at tst, you are going to get mind f$ucked into thinking you can't trade when the problem is you could not perform with such tight parameters that are set up to make the majority a failure to pay the house.

 

"Many traders send their track records into prop firms or say they can trade. We simply ask, don’t tell us show us"



Call me crazy but if you showed me an audited track record that showed you have been net profitable trading futures for multiple years and asked me to back you and I got to keep 40% and make another 20% in overides charging you $5 rt commissions and only risk $2,000 of my money I would jump all over that and would not even make you pay me $160 to play my lopsided game.


On the flip side this very argument and the fact that traders generate 1/2 of less of their combine profits after going live and eventually blow up and get sent back to combine seems quite reinforcing that what you did in the past is not even relevant to how you perform in the future as a live trader.

 

Definition of "professional'?

 

While I went OPM route myself at least partially, I can perfectly understand those people who don't want to do it and just make a nice living trading their own funds. Not everybody wants to take more responsibility in exchange for more scalability, some people may be very happy without extra buck. Why not?

 

Must say from 1st hand experience that public performance is indeed something extremely tough emotionally. Feels almost like learning to trade from scratch again from the stress point of view. Not just my opinion, I believe most people who ever went public can confirm.

 

You simply have no clue what markets are,how they work,how to adapt yourself,etc...as i`ve been telling you umpteenth of times admit that fact,finally!

 

Says who? Where's evidence of your success?

 

You forgot the previous word "proven". You see there's an entire community of traders that use real names and exist off the Internet. No aliases and proven results --- these folks often say the exact opposite of what the Internet aliases say about trading. I choose to believe and try to emulate those in the real world whom I have seen evidence of their success. You are welcome to follow whatever or whoever you find credible.
