    Pekelo continues to struggle with anything numbers related. There is no difference if someone does 10 day combines for a year with horrible results and then passes on the last 10 day combine in Dec vs the guy who does a continuous and takes an entire year to pass. In fact, more often then not, the guy with the continuous will have better performance metrics.

  2. I got response from TST that it is regular new/old crop dynamics. Which means it is summer thing related to agricultural products only.
    It is still tradeble because volatility and price action are actually pretty good in July unlike June, but lack of liquidity creates spread issues. Entries should be picked carefully.
    There is however the whole complex of soybeans products like oil and meals and may be something else, so, orders might be spread in the future among few products. I think there is always solution.

  5. In other words, seasonality. Right? We both agree to that fact now :cool:

  6. There shouldn't be any concerns for rollover from a continuous program. Why would there be? If you almost make the benchmarks in eight or nine sessions, twenty-one sessions inside a 30-day period should be more than enough.

    The entire talk of "rollovers" is rendered nullified and moot.

  7. Exactly! :)
    PA is good actually., but I used to think that summer months are the best to trade agri products. Looks like it is not.

  8. i will start my first combine by end of July,i'm capable of reaching profit target of TST,but i doubt i can pass this criteria : being profitable on at least 50% of trading days , cuz i'm a trend follower ,so it may take me multiple combines

    A lot of people seem to feel the win percentage is too high. According to TST management the CC can be customized. FYI.
