    Is Topstep Trader legit or a scam?

    earn2trade mentioned how many traders passed their prop firm evaluation. I think it was around 20% and considering earn2trade has the lowest amount of rules and is the most easy. I can only imagine other prop firms are more like a 5-10% success rate. What I really want to know, is do these...

    Anyone think Trump is going to keep pumping the market?

    Trump and the Fed can keep trying to pump the market. However, the markets and maybe even CHINA can decide on something else. (most goods are still made in CHINA) Overall tho, its clear TRUMP wants the markets to make ATH everyday :D

    Trouble Choosing Between Futures and Options

    I would highly recommend you learn both. If you plan to do this full time, there should be time to learn both. The reason being is there are many times where depending on market conditions, one is more favorable than the other. For example, you feel short but premium is to high, futures may be...

    Question to options traders

    "no cost" Isn't the cost if the markets go up, the calls you sold have unlimited risk As far as OP, It depends on your targets and time frame you think it will happen. Puts are fine as long as it fits in

    Review of One up trader

    I am curious if you don't mind, what went wrong with the Earn2Trade combine? It seems a lot easier than OneUpTrader because it has a lot less rules. As far as Apiary Fund, One that may be able to compete would be FTMO as they seem to be a 1 time fee not a monthly like Apiary

    Can trading micro Eminis be a competition to the TST/OneUpTrader business model?

    Some brokers offer even lower margin, just $30 per micro for day trading margin. Anyways, hopefully it makes prop firms more competitive with what they offer. I think prop firm who require "scaling" will be affected most as being required to start small could make traders think they might as...

    Review of One up trader

    "case-by-case basis" meaning I wont know the case unless I risk my time/money first. If so, that is an understandable and Interesting offer. Others lay out their terms upfront. Which makes it more straightforward and transactionally savvy. As far as your questions regarding oneuptrader...
