If at first, you don't succeed...

We recently blogged about a trader "profiletrader7" who managed to pass the TopstepTrader Trading Combine after many attempts. That blog post is here

ProfileTrader7 is now a funded trader over at TopStepTrader. It is customary for each new funded trader to have an interview on the TopstepTrader Squawk Radio and ProfileTrader7 had his interview last night.

Listening to that interview was a humbling experience.

ProfileTrader7 is down to earth, funny and a really nice guy. He's been trying to figure trading out for a long time and you have to admire someone that has kept it positive for so long and then been rewarded for sticking with it. On top of this, he gave us a mention as being a significant factor in his success. Of course that is a great advert for the product but more than that, it is a humbling experience when you hear that in some way you had a positive impact on somebody on the other side of the world and they felt it worthy one mention it.

The interview is below. I was listening to it live last night along with a bunch of other people over in the TopstepTrader Lounge and I am sure there were more than a few teary eyes in the house by the time he got to the end of the story.

This truly is inspirational.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Note that the Jigsaw Leaderboard contains a mixture of SIM/Live Traders. For many traders, you can click by their name to see the trades along with the SIM/Live designation.

The following is a mandatory disclaimer for SIM Trading results:

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.
