ChrisAP?- If so nice work in your Combine. The scout team updated me a notable recruit in the Combine hit the radar.
As a word of advice when you start live, just focus on doing what you do. There is no rush, but you also want to keep pressure on yourself to keep continuing to perform. Some traders get into a relaxed state, you can't do that. Trading is ALWAYS uncomfortable... Getting used to being comfortable while being uncomfortable is a good skill to have.
Trade smart, looking forward to seeing you as a Senior trader soon.

Congrats @Chrismind for passing the Combine, especially because you're getting funded without having to go through the LTP process before !
Best of luck for your transition from Junior to Senior Trader.

I have passed a 10d-30K combine; no lights out performance, pretty pedastrian. ( 2014-01-21_2143 - SyedB's library ) Have a call scheduled tomorrow with the scouting team for LTP. Win-loss-draw with the LTP, my combine experience had been nothing short of a "reality-check". And if I go on to have a successful trading career, the combines... I'll remember them as life-altering "turning point."

Congrats EastCoastTrader!! Good luck to you in LTP. If you can pass the combine, you can surely pass LTP. Keep doing what you've been doing!!
Best regards,
