On their site, it says that in 2020, $1,600,000 has been withdrawn by funded traders. New funded accounts in 2020: 3049. Let's assume that the $1,600,000 was withdrawn by those 3049 new accounts (I know it's not). That would mean that on average, each funded trader has withdrawn about $525...

English, please

I have tried TopStep and it seems that their business model is more about failing traders and making money off of that, rather than trying to get them through. This was awhile ago though, so maybe things have changed? Not sure what the Swing Trading Micro contract is

I agree that the trailing drawdown rule is an issue.

Someone commented (and then deleted) that they allow traders to "overlever." Cool, McDonalds allows you to order and eat as much food as you want. It doesn't mean I go there every day and order 8 big macs and 4 mcflurries

Just wanted to update my experience with E2T and Helios. After completing the Guantlet I was given a "live sim" account which is effectively a live account, but the trades are not actually executed as a way to reduce risk for Helios. I think a lot of people were going live and screwing up (as I...
