    Now I am looking forward to next step.
    Gotta be disciplined an focused.
    I feel happy I was disciplined, focused and calm during this Combine. Never broke any rule in my plan.
    Frankly I did not expect to pass this one as start was not only bad it was hopeless with very bad market conditions.
    I just did stick to my plan.
    Market got better but still liquidity is bad and market is very jerky. I hope it will pass as soon as possible.
    I did trade it within Jr. Trader parameters. with 1 contract only. and so forth.

    So are you going to trade real money for them or do you have pass live trader prep before they fund you ?

  7. I am waiting. Scout team will decide whether I go live or have to take LTP.

    Prove them wrong about what ?

    Give us a review of the stats

    2-3 have passed from et in what 2 years ?
    And how many have failed in that same time frame ?

    The only thing still proven is tst makes more from people failing than they from live traders. Until you can show me this has changed then you have to call a spade a spade.

  10. My friends. It is not about if 2-4 people can pass the combine.

    If I took 6 combines $1,200 (let's say) and passed my last one, I get moved to trade a live account IF the discretion of the failed screen trader (John Hoagland) (head of scout team) decides not to put me in LTP.

    I make $1000 in the live account and then I have a losing streak and get sent back to the combine. Which means I couldn't even withdraw.

    How much money have I made by taking 1.5 years of my time and committing myself to their combine program where I previously had 4 years trading experience?

    I have made -1,200 dollars., when someon can make $20,000 by working in McDonald's in that time.

    So who makes more money a TST funded trader or a McDonald's worker with no education?

    A legitimate firm never lies and does not make excuses for not showing their traders' incomes. Companies only lie when they have something to hide. I had worked in a prop firm after college for 1 year and when I was on the desk I knew every profitable trader there, I knew how much they made, and I knew how and what they traded. There, we are a team and when they are recruiting they introduce you to everything and everyone so you already know what you are getting into and so you can know if you like this team or not if you are successful and make it as a trader
