I know there are many, many members on futures.io (formerly BMT) who have passed the TST combine. I cannot keep track of them all, so I thought it would be helpful to maintain a list here in this thread.
If you have passed a TST combine and/or been …
I know some of you who have passed and some of who participating in it.
If you have passed a ONEUP Trader Evaluation and/or been funded, please just make a short post in this thread.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I did the 50k combine and passed on my first try. I submitted for funding and was approved in about 3 days. Then it was just another day until I had my credentials and was good to go. I've had some issues connecting Rithmic with the broker and MotiveWave but have been exchanging emails with all three entities -- Motive / Rithmic / Funding partner) and these issues are actually being quickly addressed but I had to do a lot of the leg work. It was work that I didn't think I should have to do but if you want things to get done in life you have to be outgoing and take the reins, so I did. Anyway, I haven't started trading live just yet but my live account is confirmed as I have logged into it with R/Trader and now I'm just waiting for my data feed issue with MotiveWave to be ironed out. If I really wanted to I could place trades in R/Trader but I'd rather do it in MotiveWave.
There seems to be several people on OneUp that have gotten funded and people seem to be looking for a place to communicate so hopefully this will be expanded upon and people can gain more clarity on OneUp.
The only update is that some of the issues got fixed so I am getting data to MovtiveWave but I can't place orders in the platform. It does have my account info, and displays the orders that I enter through R/Trader in the MotiveWave active orders screen but I can't place the orders in MV. Anyway, I just place the R/Trader dom over where I had my MV dom and just execute in R/Trader. Just rolling with the punches. Anyway, I have been trading for about 8 days and I'm up about 2k so I still have a little work to do but I'm taking my time and playing it safe.
I have been a funded trader with two of the best known in this business. Its a fabulous business model. I don't think the guys who created that paper trading app had imagined it will power this business model. That app remains available for something like $57 a month (including exchange data fees) and it gives you as much as the business model by different names do.
That's great. Are you still a funded trader and splitting profits etc..with at least one of the companies you are referring to?
I think many people are curious if anyone has long term profitability with companies like One Up Trader..or do they just find reasons to disqualify traders once they are supposedly "funded"..
I am not taking any names here but I believed each of them until they told me to stop believing them (for example orders not updating the DOM but P&L generated or contract clause violated by the company but not accepted, etc).
Last week I made three of these companies this offer : I pay you the max drawdown amount upfront (so your risk on my account becomes zero), you give me the account and we split the profits as we go along. All three refused the offer. I hope I have answered your question.
