Similar theme to the others, I listen to a completely different type of music while trading. I switch it up between natures sounds (rainforest, waves), smooth jazz, or "flow state" music. All with noise canceling over the ear headphones, basically want to tune out the entire world and just...

On the other futures forum in the AMA thread with the E2T director of support, someone said they were told 1st week of February recently. But no specific hard date.

I basically agree, the only saving part of it is that since TST is 2 steps, if you are on step 2 and if you cancel your account and re-sign up, you lose the first step. If you are on step 2, you reset and stay on step 2. That's basically where I was at for 2 months. Granted, passing step 1 is...

2nd Paragraph: https://help.futures.topstep.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012706888-How-does-the-monthly-subscription-work- I think I read on their FB page back when they made this change that as well if you are below the start balance, but no rule broken, they'd reset it as well. Michael Patak...

Ill look for it, I can attest to it though as I have taken advantage of it at least 2 months. Well not sure "took advantage of" as I'm paying monthly fees month after month.

A few months ago they made a change, where when it comes time for your monthly billing, IF your account is below the starting point, and/or you busted, so say $150K combine and your balance is $148,500, they'll reset it to $150K. Or likewise if you busted, if you wait until your rebill day you...

@DevBru thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated. Question on rule #5 the 50% trade volume - do they let you know a hard number this needs to be, or is it up to you to figure it out? It would suck for sure to get an email saying "oh btw you broke a rule, you only traded 23...

Looking to hear from OneUp Trader funded traders (and not start an argument over whether programs are scams/etc, there's plenty of other threads if that's your thing). I already read thru this thread discussing OneUp, but a lot of the info is old at this point...

I don't know that it's "Crazyyyyyy" - they don't want people going for a home run then just coasting if the home run cashes. OneUp has a similar rule. TopStep doesn't, I see people posting in the facebook group doing exactly the above, day 1 they just hail mary it, if it hits, they coast.

Been there many times myself. Not with Speedup but other tryouts. It's a tough lesson to learn for sure.

So what became of this? You were looking to pass mid last week (quote above is from Dec 3rd), did you end up passing and getting funded?

I would normally agree, my 1 caveat for you with E2T is they are in between brokerages right now for funded accounts, moving from Helios to ? (they haven't said). The process has been going on for a few months, and when questioned don't want to give a specific time it'll be complete until they...

Fair enough. Good luck with it, let us know how it all goes. Curious to see how Speedup turns out, honestly hadn't heard of them before this post.

So you went into it suspecting you wouldn't get funded even if you passed... and there's other more reputable companies available who do pay out. As well some are cheaper (Earn2Trade is $90 for their $25K account currently on discount). I mean, sorry to be semi rude but your decision making...

I started a thread with this info back in September which has several hundred replies. I'm pretty sure everyone knows. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/earn2trade-founder-charged-with-fraud.349936/

I use them and no complaints.

Doing great man

Great job, right back at it with a grand day.

You see the same in any industry it seems that involves big swings in profits/loss. Sports betting industry, there's a million guys with pics of lambos and stacks of cashing, selling their "winning" picks because they supposedly win 90% of their bets. Horse racing, same thing, not as...

I've been following along on your attempts, appreciate your transparency, and in some ways feel like a kindred spirit. Plenty of resets for me, tilts, day 10's made only to blow up, etc. It's frustrating, seems unfair at times, can be mad at myself for violating all the things I said I...
