I am Chikot at TST, but I am very rarely there. My trading is very demanding and I am really focused cause I watch both chart and DOM. I am there usually after my trading is closed and still not very often. I wonder why you deffer your start? I think it is time to let the dice fly paraphrasing Caesar. Cross that Rubicon , man
first i applied for high speed internet( 10 Mbps ),it took me near 7 weeks (hello reality ! here is damn middle east)...and it's real speed is equal to your 1Mbps internet.so now it's ready and "hopefully" i will participate in it soon.
I see. Actually here in Canada I have had numerous internet outages with Rogers. Once it happened at the exact moment I was placing Stop loss order... Was without internet for about 2 hours. Gotta go with OCO orders only when go live.
19 combines : wow!!! I am curious, after each combine that did not work, did you do some extra non combine demo, or did you jump straight into another combine?
Actually, your efforts and persistence is a real example. . VERY well done. And thank you for mentionning the effort one puts in.
i use one ADSL internet connection, one 3G connection, two wimax connection,and then i mix all of them (dispatch) into one unit connection in order to connect to a VPS ( virtual private server) for trading which is located in Chicago and has a few mili seconds delay or ping time .. say thanks to Rogers to rogers cuz it disconnects only for two hours ...
Most of the times I took a break, analyzed and then restarted another one. There are times when I had 2 or even 3 going simultaneously to track different products/strategies. The times I jumped right back into another one are when I would blow the max DD early on and then use the rest of the days to tweak and stabilize so by the time the combine period ended, I was ready to continue with another one. I didn't do any non combine demo in between during breaks. The combine keeps it real for me, demo does not.

Already did a long time ago and you ignored facts but I would expect nothing else out of you but more lies. Show me where I said millions or even a 1 mill you clueless dick ? Quote: Quote from Maverick74: But yes, it's about 2 to 3 guys a week during more active market periods. Quote from Volente_00: If this is true then combine revenue from the other losers is minimum gross 544k per year. Now you can assume 50% get refunded but I don't believe it's near that high as evidenced here as nearly every one who did the combine ended up negative. But maybe you believe rookies with very little futures trading experience have a better chance at being net positive ? So take 544k, with imaginery 50% refund, puts you at 272k revenue, now take 3 employees to run this for you at 50k salary and the net is still minimum 6 figures to the company owner regardless if anyone ever trades live. Now up the failure to be profitable rate to the more realistic 75-80% and the net becomes 275-300k
