    So you need to pass the combine and then pass a pre live prep before they take you live? Has it always been like this?

    And now an extra $50 charge for a customized combine




    Why nickel and dime undercapitalized dreamers to death if your true intent is to fund them to trade for you ?

    I think it has been. Their web site isn't entirely clear on this though. The web site doesn't say it outright, it says things like this:

    After you meet your Trading Combine Objective and you're drafted by the Scout Team, you will be provided with a FUNDED TRADING account.

    Step 3: Go Pro
    (Fully-Funded Live Trader)
    Qualified traders who prove themselves in the Combine will receive a fully-funded trading account - paired with a very competitive profit split.

    On the front page they say if you pass the combine you will be funded. On other pages they slip in things like if you pass and drafted/chosen you will be funded.

  4. It seems they do that to "weed out" traders who made it through Combine with "dumb luck" instead of skill. It's almost like doing the Combine twice. :eek: :cool:

  5. Do they distribute $50-off coupons in the Sunday Tribune or via Groupon? :confused: :p

    Isn't that the whole point point of the combine? Anyone know what the requirements are to pass the pre live combine?

    I traded 2 time last week with TST. As long as you adhere to the final trader plan after you have gone live, essentially your contract, then they dont force you to do anything.

    Thanks Baggerlord.

    No, I blew it. Mental note: do not agree to watch a very active 1 year old toddler for a week while trying to trade. This story does not end well.
