It looks to me based on others' results and on my personal experience, that the more instruments you trade, the less parameters you have to pass. The average winner vs. average loser disappear from...

Here is a trick for fast moving markets, like gold has been in the last few days.

Their account value is misleading. You can trade the 30K Combine with as little as 5K with your own money. So if we compare 1K max. DD to a 5K account and not 30K, that is a 20% DD....



Well,...

I think you misunderstood the max. DD. It would be true if you can't dip below it, but since now we know that we can, there is no reason to revenge trade. You just stop trading on the day when both...

There has to be a time limit for both the profit target and to eventually end the combine. If there is no time limit, how do you measure profit, specially compared to others? By daily average? And...

Xeelar, good point. I guess the 100-150K combines can be used for testing, when one just wants to use the T4. For the price of 350-400$ one can basicly use it for a whole year...

A well established (meaning decent account size) profitable trader doesn't need the Combine, because there is little to gain. Definiately not the 30K or 50K. According to Mr. Patak, the 50K is the...

Sure, you don't have to. But more contracts you use, less wiggle room you have for a stop loss. Less contract you use, more time/trades it takes to reach the profit target. So it is a balancing act....

Well, the Max DD is basicly just a summarized DLL, and the same logic applies to it. Let's say you lose 2200-2200$ in the first 2 days. You didn't get close to the DLL, but you only have 100$...
