DAY 3:

Expectancy is now $34.98. This is the amount I would now expect every time I click my mouse. Winning % is now 81.48%. My losses are still bigger than the winning trades where I'm risking on average $1 to win $0.435 and my average trades per day is still holding around 9. There are 18 days left in this combine and $8055.38 more in profits needed. With an average of 9 trades a day, I would need an expectancy of $49.72 to complete this successfully. If anyone has any questions let me know.

Informal poll. Would anyone be interested in watching my trades live? I think we can set something up for free on Google hangouts or like a live streaming thing on YouTube. Keep in mind this is from someone that doesn't even own a webcam or microphone so I'd have to buy those and I guess figure out logistics of setting all this up. Also if we can set something up here on Futures IO let me know. I can see the value in people watching live and learning. Anyway please respond if you guys are interested. This would be a free thing for whoever. I'll still post my results here for those that just want to read about them. I most likely won't go out and spend $200 on a cam and microphone if it's only a couple of people but if people are really interested in this idea I don't mind.

"

The overall Combine pass-rate at TopStepTrader, the last time it was independently audited/verified, was about 20%, as mentioned above.

Is that published somewhere ?
are there any other metrics published ?

Nice journal.
My question is, after how many trades do you consider your expectancy to be stable/trustworthy?

Also, I don't believe there's any time limit on the combine, as long as you're willing to pay the recurring fee.

Thanks!!! Obviously the larger your sample size for any statistical interpretation the better. I'd say at very bare minimum 50 trades you start to notice a consistent pattern but I'd personally rather have 100 trades logged. I think for the combine I have 27 trades so far. I trade live so looking for funding isn't the primary reason for me taking the combine. I'm not planning on paying for combines on repeat endlessly I more so view it as this is my one shot.

It was, because I remember reading it and feeling satisfied that it was probably an "independently audited" figure as claimed, but I'm afraid it was so long ago that I can't remember where it was, now.

Sometimes, but only in incidental comments (e.g. in this forum) by TST's staff, I think. They do publish some information about the few hundred most recently funded traders here and about some people's successes with their funded accounts here, but those aren't really "metrics".

Day 4 update:

TST has not updated their website to reflect my results from today. They are supposed to have it updated by 6pm. Once they do I'll post a pic. I made $705 in profits today. After commissions the amount I think should be around $609. Ninja and R Trader both reflect the update so I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to break down the stats.

They have issues both with the dashboard and with the routing in rithmic with NinjaTrader.
