lol If they know how to trade profitably themselves they wont fund traders with money to trade with , and instead they would trade themselves .
congrats again. how long it took you to pass combines ? i know that it was a series of a roll over combines. rolling over multiple combines and keeping consistency is so hard ..
i think no one can generate profits consistently.but TST is capable of generating profits consistently.whether the generated profits by it's funded traders or other educational /combine fee stuff . so TST still can make money even if their traders are not making money.also when it comes to real trading tolerating a 1000$ loss is really hard which in TST it's not your own money and you have almost nothing to lose .i think TST is designed for people with zero equity like foreigners outside USA.so it's a great choice for some specific group of traders...
Did you ever read John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty"? In it he has a chapter on free speech, libel, and defamation. Just a quick synopsis, it is better to let ideas compete and allow people free expression then censorship.
My interpretation would be libel or defamation does "hurt others" and would go against Mill's thinking. From wiki, "He argued that even if an opinion is false, the truth can be better understood by refuting the error." However, I think the opinion is something not harmful to others, say "The Sun is blue." I know he says libel is absurd, but I have a feeling, may be wrong, that libel at that time was different. Saying "i don't like this" could be libel. In fact, in certain countries you cannot say that still today. "I don't like this soup" could land you in jail. Real Trader has no right to name names and say they cannot do this or that, unless he is extremely confident in his position.
Oh man. I took first Combine November or December 2012... It took me some 12-13 Combines and the whole year of Combines for me to get out of the loop. Markets are unforgiving. There must be total package to succeed. At least I am so sure in me keeping losses low that i am opening my own account in December to start trading in January 2015. It has been a long road and I wonder how long road is ahead before I become full time trader.
Basically realtrader is lying until he proves otherwise about the "failed traders" part. Lets see the statements of Michael, Eddie or John that you have in your possession as proof of those allegations realtrader? And dont give me the whole "if they were profitable they wouldnt be selling this or education they would be hunkered down trading all day" bullshit. You know why? Cause im a profitable daytrader but I also have a career. Its icing on the cake man and my version of selling options month after month against my real career. And I suspect its that way for a lot of people. I can have my cake and eat it, why cant the Patak management team as well? Im nobodys cheerleader I enjoy facts only. So lets see the facts realtrader. Prove yourself righteous in our eyes and the ET board. And spare us the 100 line diatribe...account statements or other proof of failure will suffice.
ok,waiting for your interview .what are the advantages of opening an trading account with them compared to other brokers?
