Well, if the goal is to pass, become funded, pass the live combine, and then trade successfully for many years, then what's 10 more days? Said another way, if you can trade the 10 days successfully, shouldn't you be able to trade the 20 days successfully?
Yes, you should be able to do that since you need to successfully pass the Live Combine too and build your account cushion, or you'll have to go back to the Combine status you just completed before...
As I mentioned earlier, just by profit target wise, there are 3 Combines: 1 easy, 4 averages and 3 harder. Usually the longer the Combine the smaller the average daily profit target.
For example compare the 30K/10days and the 30K/20days. The first one has a $23 per day per car profit target (you can trade for 22 days), the later has a $15 (you can trade for 42 days). That is a 50% difference....
Now in the old version it was $50 vs. $30. So with the changes, even the new 10days Combine is easier than the old 20 days, profit target wise...
I am posting a response here from another thread, because it belongs to this discussion, not in that journal:
I agree, the smallest Combine is although the easiest, but for real money generation, it is almost worthless to pass. According to Mr. Patak, the 50K is the most popular, and I agree, that is the one what most beginners should try first. The price is only slightly higher, but there is more room to make mistakes.
Now the 150K Combine with the 3000$ DLL is the exactly same like the 50K with 1000$ DLL, so there is no advantage in either, but the profit target is less for the 50K, so keep that in mind.
Your 3rd point, to make it to refund/rollover, it is equally easy/hard in all Combines, you just have to make $1 and have good stats...
thanks appreciate your response. by easier to roll over I mean its hardest to hot max daily loss or max dd unless you use all cars but then thete is more room to buil the cushion. all depend on a strategy but trading with 1 or 2 trades per day I think is the hardest to pass a combine becase you need to trade with planned size from the start.
I agree that the two combines traders should focus on are the $50k and the $150k. If you look at the requirements, once funded, for account cushion and such, they are the same for $30k and $50k, and $100k and $150k. So presumably they would be easier to achieve on the $50k and $150k accounts.
