  1. Stopped out for a tick almost instantly... this was done in the practice non-Combine account ...

  2. Good thing I did it this way (stopped @ 1.3072) because the market is at 1.3055 right now...

    But it doesn't count because I did it in practice.

  3. Wonderful....

    Just great... I made $405.00 in my practice account but I lost another -$35.00 in my Combine account...

    It's this sort of thing that makes you want to claw your eyes out...!

  4. Some people were talking about a trading plan...

    Allright... Here it is...

    Plan

    1. Make a decision on the direction of the market.

    2. Master the entry.

    3. Remember your ABCs... that's Always Be Cutting!
    (or Be Like Rodent BLR)

    4. Trade size.

    Works OK for making your daily bread and butter but it ain't going to beat this Combine.

    To beat this Combine you need position trading...

  5. Something wrong with my connection again...

    Market at 1.3054 in reality but showing 1.3067 on DOM... and this time it ain't the month I'm trading. Unless E6 doesn't correlate to spot...?

  6. 6E won't correlate perfectly to spot since it's a futures product.

  7. traderchi128- Agreed. That is what we say. We want you trading your plan and managing your risk. ie. Just Trade. Like you said if your strategy is good the money will come. Besides instilling discipline or seeing who has discipline, we want to see who has a trading plan or strategy that works in today's market... that is our goal with the Combine.

    No dude, futures do not correlate to spot. There is something called an interest rate differential.

  10. ScalperJoe- Reports change as we recruits that submit a Custom objective (which is basically a proposal on how they would like us to evaluate their trading)... We added this awhile back to allow us to evaluate recruits who's trading did not fit well with our standard scouting evaluation criteria.
