    No, I blew it. Mental note: do not agree to watch a very active 1 year old toddler for a week while trying to trade. This story does not end well.

    TopstepTrader and Patak Trading Partners- Any and all questions answered here

    All of you are correct, I did have some decent draw downs during the combine but I never went below my starting amount.

Took me 3 tries but I did it, I just got an email from them today saying they are "prepared to provide me with a funded trading account pending my performance in the Live Trader Preparation".

    Why Turtle system uses 20 and 55 days?

    I agree, I don't think the actual number of days is critical. They were looking trot trends so I you just need a tool to help which means the actual numbers aren't used, just be consistent with what you use.

    What's the best futures for a beginner to trade?

    What's the best futures for a beginner to trade?

    I agree with dom993, crude gives you lots of movement. You will quickly find out if you are right or wrong with your trade. The market is 24/7 but no need to trade all of it, just the busier times (generally US mornings). As far as taxes, talk to your accountant and ask him about the 1256 rule.
