Hi Babanky,
As I have received a few private messages regarding my past experience with Pulsar, I will try to summarize everything in here.
Last November I missed my last trial with Pulsar (to be honest I did not even manage to finish with a positive performance).
Since then, I have been quite busy due to professional motives and, therefore, did not apply for any other trial with them.
I have read that they changed their guidelines, and therefore, might consider giving it a try in the near future, as I hope to have some free time and believe their new set of rules fits me better (my trading profile is quite volatile and, therefore, would be penalized by their previous Sharpe condition).
Regarding the company and their trading programme, I was quite impressed with them.
I can only talk about trial phase (as you know I never managed to succeed it), however, during that period they were always very straightforward and honest with me.
Do not expect them to come here and say anything about themselves.
I once emailed them about a thread where they were profiled and they could not care less about it. Below is their answer:

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your email and info provided.
Please understand that we are a company owned and managed by professional traders, where 99% of our income is generated through this activity.
The trading programme we currently run is a way to discover and add traders to our group, so that we can increase our profitability, mainly through the diversification of strategies involved.
If a trader is not confident on his ability to succeed on our simulation, then we strongly advise him to not join our programme, as this will turn out to be a “lose-lose” paradigm (trader will lose his fee and we will lose time and resources).
On the same way, if a trader has any reservations about this company, then we will not take any actions to convince him otherwise, as we do not want any unsatisfied or doubtful trader working with us.
We are aware that from a commercial point of view, this probably would not be the way to act however, and as previously stated, we are traders, not commercials…
Best Regards,
"""""
Hope this is of any help to those sending me private messages.
Apologies for not posting my past experience on the forum before, but have been really busy on the last few months.
