Started my evaluation with Oneup trader. I discovered NASDAQ for myself. I have always looked at Crude. But in all sincerity, from what I already see over back testing and trading NASDAQ for 2 weeks. Crude is not a very good day trading instrument compared to NASDAQ. I always depended upon big...

They have two loops to jump over. Basically one has to make $2500 goal twice while risking $2000. It means you have $2000 and have to make $5000. Then without discount they are more expensive. Multiple it by those challenge stages and failures and time needed to achieve those goals. Basically I...

I did not have any issue with this consistency rule despite not scalping. Probably because I had a number of those big winning days not just one.

So, she is just talking. Not an issue for me anymore. I am running with pampers around when trade is on. I noticed my daughter is quite consistent in this regard. Anyway, I have to adjust. So far so good.

Positive means above $0. Not that trader must be above the high watermark of the previous 15 days. The fact of the matter was that I was capturing very large moves as volatility was good but I also had trading plan that precluded winner going loser or break even. I had only winners and losers...

I did not say tricky. But this rule is the most difficult to overcome. Why? Because market changes. In my case I sometimes had 5-6 days without a trade. Now, if I lose first trade, the count is on . It is 15 calendar days including weekends and so forth. I think 15 trading days rule would have...

No idea what is that fuss all about. I was funded and stayed funded for almost 5 months with Oneup trader and never had issue with them. I closed my account and withdraw my account stop as I decided. The reason was inability to trade while babysitting my daughter who just got mobile n December...

I am planning to start soon.

Are you still with them?

I wonder, if trader is profitable can he withdraw all the money with Oneup trader once he has amount that is 100% his and before he has to pay 20% to Oneup trader?

Not within one day. For doubling I need to have cushion build to cover few max losing days. My daily loss limit is 500-600$. To double I need at least $5000 on my account.

I will be on one contract until I have enough cushion to double. Having r:r adjusted take profit consistently takes care of that max winning day vs 3 average winning days too.

This is already in my trading plan. I am testing forward with 1:2 risk to reward. making it consistent. I understand logic behind that.

I will still go with one up trader. I wonder if price went for 50 pips with target being 60 pips and profit taken say at 30-40 pips will account still show 20-30 pips draw down? Looks like 10 days rule is not always and is it only for the first 10 days or every 10 days...

One thing is that Oneup is still better is the lack of funded trader preparation. I am not planning to stay under water after 10 days next time. It was 4 years ago and I traded soybeans.
