Is there a way to create a max position size in ninjatrader 8? I am doing a topsteptrader combine, they set a max size of 2 in their combine, I do one misclick boom one combine is busted just like that because I put one lot over the limit $100 gone. I want to make sure this doesnt happen again. I am thinking maybe I should just fund myself with $2k.

I don't know much about TST or their combines....but... I get the feeling they make the rules unrealistic on purpose to keep everyone chasing the carrot/dream.
Pretty good business model actually.......
Check with your broker for a max position limit perhaps they can place on your acct.....wait combines are sim trading...scratch that idea.... how about order placement confirmation in NT8.... Tools/Options/Trading

yes that will help. I agree with your assessment of the rules. If they wanted to they could have set a limit to max position size so it blocks extra orders, it used to be that way 4 years ago.
Understanding yourself is just as important as understanding markets.
There is a way in NT8 , just go to tab TOOLS , scroll down to RISK open it make a new template , select add the products & max lot size U want to trade, if it is set then go to your TST account in the the accounts tab, right mouse clik then scroll down to third row "ediit account " add your new Risktemplate and you're set. When U will try to put on more contracts than you gave yourself permission, it will block them. ****Btw: TST is not really worth your money, U should better save it. It's a hamsterwheel , been funded twice, once in, they don't scale your account as stated and keep it @ max 3 contracts even when I was up 5k on the month… and they order U to stop when you're having a good day , so limiting your winners, not limiting your loosing days. Do the math ...They WILL screw up your system. Then they brag how many traders they funded, but in the private chatroom with funded traders you'll find yourself very lonely only like 5 people and the rotating changes, says it all, most drop out... For them (TST) they have a great business model , it's not about funding traders, it's about collecting fees****
