another reason why these guys, and why i would finish the combine out is i think you can hit 2 or 3 of the 4 goals(i could be off on these numbers but i havnt looked at them for awhile but i did know at one time) and get your money back or roll it into another combine... so not only for the mental side of things, or for the extra time(already paid for) that you have to work with their system and improve, you can also get your money back..
dont believe anything you hear and only half of what you see
Excellent question. It is net and I am certain you are correct. On the surface it seems like a trivial thing to just get the details wrong on something like that. The problem is those details effectively relate to the opportunity to trade someone else's money. It's probably a good idea to err on the side of caution and a better idea to know as much as possible before placing their first trade
While I agree with finishing out, it would only be to get what I can from the experience and practice. Exceeding your Daily Loss Limit always eliminates you from contention for refunds and funded accounts. It's the only rule you can't recover from (unlike hold time, w/l ratio, etc). Exceed it, and you are done.

Is anyone else using Sierra for their combine? I just signed up for a 20 day (it seems to be what the cool kids are doing), and I am unclear as to whether to use the Sim server or Live server, and also under Accounts I have two listed -- they are both long and one starts with a letter and another with a number. Anyone using Sierra or T4 know about this?
It will be interesting to see if I can manage my regular live account with this one simultaneously.
You will need to use the Sim server. Did you sign up with the practice account as well? Guessing one is your practice account and the other is your Combine account (that gets reviewed).

Thank you omni. Yes, the practice account came free so I have one. I sent them an email to ask, but have not heard back and was trying to get everything set up tonight so if I decide to trade this account tomorrow it will be smooth sailing. Do you mind looking to see if your combine account starts with two letters, or two numbers?
EDIT: nevermind that, I figured a way to find it. I can log into the CTS T4 mobile and it's labelled in there so I can do it this way.
Awesome! Glad you got it squared away. I think the dual account capability is relatively new in SC and haven't actually used it. The only time I've used my practice account was for the first couple of days of my combine when unbeknownst to me my T4 platform defaulted to it instead of my real-deal combine account
Funny thing is some guy was on here the other day talking about how TST traders need to make sure of the details before they put on a trade ... Hey, I never said I was immune to these things. A lot of the knowledge I try to pass along comes from mistakes I've made

is there a way we can sorta list all of the TST journals in one area, or leave them in their respective posted areas but note them as being TST journals somewhere?

This journal is temporary because it will document my experience in the Top Step Trader 20 Day Combine. I've done the combine before without success, but am feeling confident that I can succeed this time around.
OK based on the example by David_R (, I'm biting the bullet and throwing out a journal here in nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) as well. By no means am I a perfect trader, so I will be copying directly from my personal trading journal every day I trade. …
Will be adding more later in the evening, but wanted to post up the main charts I focus on. First time attaching an image so hopefully I didn't screw it up!
Being a recording engineer in Nashville, Tennessee, I think trading would be a wonderful second career for me, as I enjoy the technology involved. Technical Analysis is fascinating.
So here is a brief history of my …
I think that @josh and @Silver Dragon have mentioned they will be starting the combine, but don't quote me on that.
