You should submit a custom combine eliminating all performance stats and focus only on profit objective an max loss.
After all, this is what really matters in the end and for those with discipline, this is the right way to go. That way you are not trading to some arbitrary stats. This would have eliminated the last couple of days worth of conversation as well. It cost $50 extra but worth it.

You learned/reminded of the fact that you need to be patient and "hold the course", meaning that once you define a way to measure yourself, you need to then actually do it. It doesn't mean blindly trade a system cash that is losing money, but it does mean you set up a test environment and certain conditions to meet before you started trading it, and then once it goes "live" (in whatever environment) then you need to follow through with that experiment.
If you start altering the experiment then the results are invalidated and more or less worthless.
Whenever you get a pass at something, you have to do something else harder, when you are doing a custom Combine. So I would say your profit target would go up significantly if they approve that plan. Like 50+% more.
I saw one funded trader whose profit target was less than the usual Combine and I couldn't figure out why he got that lowered. Maybe because he was trading multiple instruments....
