I have a dumb question but i'd like to ask it. Say i am allowed two funded accounts. I go max contracts on the ES, buy in one and sell in the other. I blew up one account but the one remained is guaranteed gain. Am i correct or mistaken?

Exactly. Like in war you are a general commanding troops. You have the vanguard and the main force. If i were you, i'd trade with the micros account and when the condition is right i'd go super sayan with the funded account. FYI, my micros 's been taking a hit but my funded account is doing...

Definitely, back when a dime still had a lot of value LOL. And as for replacing Mr. Powell, unless it's a Greenspan replica, i don't see any improvement.

Greenspan is the only Fed chair that impressed me. The rest just line their pockets.

This is my take. Capital loss offsets capital gain fully. Any loss leftover gets deducted against wages income up to 3000.

a question for after being funded. What platform do i use to execute trades without paying the $105 data fee? Can it be Rtrader pro?

Hi, anyone still using quotelink to get quotes into excel from td ameritrade? Since the new API authentication i have not been able to. Can anyone shed some light on this? And i only use excel 2003. Thanks in advance.

I have some questions regarding the Guantlet. Can i have maximum drawdown, assuming that is $2500, as my intraday drawdown? I am always a sore loser and not take losses easily. Is Rtrader free in the funded stage?

It's easy to make one. It requires only an email. I don't know what parameters mean, but the account starts at 100K. I see people trade instruments like 6A,6J,GC,YM,QM, ZS,CL,ES,LE,6B, GE,BZ, RB,RTY,NIY,RB,ZW,SI... The contest lasts a week, probably ends next friday. No entry fee. First place...

There is no reversal for the positions i am holding. I am now down 10K and it seems i do not have the trading skills to come back from this, especially the instruments I trade have the volatility of a snail. So i bid this thread farewell, crap the leader is now 48K. There are some crazy traders...

First place is going to be hard to catch, but i still have a chance at third; 500 for the winner i believe. Good luck.

What a letdown. It ripped even higher after the open. I've no choice but to hold on to this position for now and not add in more short. I was down 7K but the NQ came back some so now down only 3500. the leader is now +18K but the game is just starting.

No worry. I am now down 1500 but still a small amount for a 100K account. I will now double down on the ES before the open and hope for a comeback.

Wow looking at the winners from the leaders board I feel like I need to put my ass in gear. I am currently short 5 contracts of the NQ and losing 700. Any ET playing this?

Thx for the support nobody. Anyway, Topstep is cool with my first error so i can go on. Of course with a little penalty.

Hi guys, have a question. I tried the 50k combine, almost passed but tripped the trading outside allowed hours non intentionally, just did not know. Can i appeal? It's a shame because if not this may be my last try.
