As I understand this journal is for an offical record of the combine the original poster will undertake hence do not wish to add extraneous stuff without good reason.

I plan to just trade Soybeans futures doing this combine. I have done a couple other combines, but my focus there has been hit and miss since also trading a live account with Open ECry software. I'm hoping this public journaling will force me to focus on the combine better.

No trades, got software setup and did not like to start trading mid-day.
Good thing is you don't have to trade every single day the market is open, you do get flexibility so there's no need to rush IMO.

No trades on the TST account. Had a couple nice longs in the ZS today on my personal account but was not quick enough to get them into the T4 dom. In hindsight I could have traded longs later in T4 but it felt 'too late'.
If nothing else, you are showing that patience is key. Many people start a Combine (or open an account) and think they have to start trading immediately.
