No i want to trade only 2 lots in crude oil. with some in brent-wti spreads. then scale it up with profits. it is a bad strategy to use all of your margin, generally i have a criteria for 10kUSD per lot in crude . ( with 2.5k to 3k USD margin req per lot) i am totally willing to pass the...

By pit i meant an electronic trading floor. its common lingo here . pls dont confuse with open outcry pit. could have just said so... didnt know it would cause confusion.

your first post, what the hell is anyone supposed to think! also i do have a job and a resume, but how many prop firms do you think are there in India, and the terms they would offer. Gets frustrating at times knowing you can trade but didnt have a platform to get through. I'm not here...

well 25k is a very good amount . if so i apologise for my comments above. better wait for their reply before continuing this further -no point wasting time for the both of us. in my defense it just said 3k max drawdown though. and you just seemed like a troll from the begin(still do)

why did you say that they would back me with a 150k usd account in the first place, when you knew it wasnt true. i had no problems passing their tests. but for a 3k max drawdown? i already have better options. maybe i give it a try for fun if and when i am free. some other time i might...

Forget about a solid, funded live account. TopstepTrader, or the company Patak Trading Partners, backs you financially with almost nothing. What they do is to provide you with a $0 account with a small loss limit, from $1,500 to $4,500 depending on your successfully completed test-account. On...

Thanks for all the replies.

any one here already working with topstep? how is the experience, do they give regular payouts

Thanks mate, this looks quite promising. Must admit though i thought you were a troll at first :) plus 60/40 split is better than what i am getting atm :D They'll reply tomorrow i guess. combine account is the demo account 150k? funded account balance only 3000k...

could you please give me a link,i dont see any info on that site. also thanks for the lecture on trading :P

Thanks for the information! http://mrtopstep.com/ is this what you are referring to? a 150k USD account would be great, do they trade futures too? What are the pre-requisites for the combine? is the combine live trading or simulator ( simulator i guess) is the daily cut off the risk limit...

I hope the post i made before gets through. willing to work on a 50-50 split. The way i described above, you could take out your money any time you wanted ( 4-5k volatility would be standard in oil, so if you're serious i hope you give me a better cushion than that) Estimated break even...

Thanks cmb, i think i have better options even here in India than a 500 USD daily stop loss in oil lol. It would barely cover the risk for one trade in WTI oil.

Let me see if I get this: 1) You don't want to put any skin in the game; 2) you want a firm/backer to put up 30K to prove your strategy; 3) and the reason you want it done this way is that risking your own money makes you too nervous. Is that a reasonable recap of the basic deal...

I have tried putting my own money on the line, but it was psychologically much harder to trade when compared to trading the firm's money. I managed to break even in around 10 months. For the same time period , trading firm's money(previously) i had generated a handsome profit .( with a...

I thought the post was quite clear. Do apologise if it isnt. I am looking for a proprietary trading firm , or someone willing to bet money on a Price Action based strategy. Thanks

I am experienced futures trader, trading mainly oil futures on nymex (spreads as well as futures). Have a good reputation and track record. Have tried out numerous strategies over the past 3-4 years to try and see which one works out and why. Have made money over every instrument i have traded...

Hi, I have been a professional trader for past 2 years. Now thinking of starting my own trading setup. It would be great if you could give me a list of some of the better brokerage firms offering support for CQG integrated client since i have been using this software for a long time and dont...
