It seems the requirements of TST are for weeding out most so only the best traders can pass it.
a/ The trader can make the profit target.
b/ The trader can fit to the parameters.
And mind you, some of the parameters are completely irrelevant BS. Trading duration winner vs. loser? Who cares about that? Even the win% is irrelevant because I can have 5 small losers and 1 huge winner and be nicely profitable.
So let's say you need to make 2K in 20 days and you actually made 3K profit, but you didn't pass the parameters. Why would any normal backer NOT back you because of that? And it seems they are really not having that many traders to be backed, so it makes no sense to make rules so strict. Now if they had a dozen traders hitting the profit target every week, sure, try to filter them out a little, but so far too many good traders hasn't been their problem.
