Passing the COMBINE (FUNDED FUTURES TRADER Book 2): A Systematic Playbook for Evaluation Phase: Target-to-Drawdown Geometry, Pacing Mathematics, and Difference Between Being Ready

An evaluation looks like a race to a single number. It isn't. It's a five-constraint system: profit target, drawdown floor, minimum trading days, time limit, and consistency rule, running at once, and traders who optimize for only the target routinely pass the eval and lose the funded account within days. This book gives you the math to see the whole system together. The Geometry Ratio shows exactly how a firm's profit target sits against its drawdown, and why that ratio tightens as account size grows, against most traders' instincts. The One-Big-Day Trap explains why hitting your number in a single session can still fail you. The Reset Trap explains why some traders keep buying evaluations they were never going to pass, and what actually breaks the cycle. Four case studies carry these mechanics through a deadline panic, a reset spiral, and a pass built to last past graduation. >- The Geometry Ratio, and why it tightens as account size grows - The One-Big-Day Trap and the minimum-days problem nobody reads the fine print on - Micro-sizing to pass without starving your own pace - The Pass Plan: a three-part system for pacing an evaluation on purpose - Four case studies, including a deadline-panic bust and a res - Evaluation parameter tables across five major firms
