I've got to giggle at your skepticism, BeachTrader.
If you don't put in work, the commitment, the passion to what you do in trading, then you're not going to amount to anything. I can see that you pontificate without doing any due diligence with half-truths. That, to me, is being the ultimate sleaze bucket.
Responding to your thread isn't worth my time. I recommend that you return the favor and ignore this thread, altogether; especially, if you're not going to read each post.
Why should I defend myself, beyond what I've already stated? Does anyone read the entire threads, before jumping in?
Do you like the sound of your "voice"? It's inane.
And LTP is not voluntary, but pretty much mandatory. So once again, there was absolutely no advantage for you to make a custom combine for 35 cars. I am not sure why they let you do that, but I guess they thought: "Well, if the lady wants to swing, let her swing."
It doesn't matter if you pass a 150K Combine or a 475K Combine, because after sucessfully passing the LTP, you will only get a 150K funded account, and you have to earn your right to trade bigger than 15 cars size. After you build a 10K cushion, you can ask for more cars. That is how it works.
So there is no point in customizing such a large Combine, unless you want some bragging rights. But since this is Sim so bragging is meaningless and in this case, costly...
Well...I think I'm just going to lean back and relax while I'm looking forward how things will develop here and how you're doing on this extraordinary combine.
However, I wish you best of luck on your 'mission'!

I spoke with Conor, at TsT, and he advised against getting into these arguments as most people are not worth a response and anonymity does weird things to people. He confirmed that I will be funded with more buying power than a normal $150K funded account due to the Custom Combine that I negotiated.
Please continue to argue for YOUR limitations, not mine. The more people who post a response, the higher this thread stays on the board. So, thank you!
First I want to wish you best Martha... on trying to pass your combine!
I have never tried it myself due to all the people I hear pass it only to get another test they must pass then I never hear from them again. I don't like ambiguous challenges...
I personally think your odds of success increase greatly with the ability to add in more contracts using (position sizing). I can sim trade the CL every day and make 5-20 k using 5-15 contracts. But when I have tried it with real money its like some one is sticking there hand inside my stomach and sqeezing my intestines. And with that kind of pressure its a loosing battle.
Its a lot harder with position sizing just using 1-2 contracts you have to have more perfect entries and exits and that takes a lot extra skill but not as hard to transition mentally to real money because a lot less is at stake. I personally trade Micro Forex and that is very easy to use position size adjusting in and not risk a lot if your having a bad day reading the market(great for beginner traders too).
I hope when you finally pass it you can somehow get over the real money pressure syndrome that keeps getting me with large size.
