    Anybody else worried about IB?

    I've had this question in my mind for quite sometime now... Hedge Funds manage billions of dollars AUM...many of them trade only futures and currency...their AUM are safe because they use a prime broker who is almost guaranteed to never fail? Is that how it works? Thank you

    Anybody else worried about IB?

    Plus their segregated funds dollar amount is insane last time I checked. I don't think either stock or futures account holders should be concerned...

    For anyone attempting OneUpTrader/TopStepTrader

    I have been funded (and made significant withdrawls) with both TST and OneUp and they both are legit companies and each has their respective pros and cons. The pros and cons will depend on your unique situation and trading experience but with either one if you are serious and diligent, you will...

    "Slow Computer" audio alert running Rithmic...

    Has nothing to do with the speed of your computer 1) Go to your Rithmic trading platform 2) Click Windows 3) Click Sounds 4) Click Yellow LED indicating slow computer and change to none This happens when the trading activity gets crazy and has nothing to do with your PC - I have a top shelf...

    Big-3 "Pay2Play" Prop Firms and the COVID-19 crisis?

    At the end of the day, no one can doubt that the business models of TST, OneUp, E2T, etc. are extremely savvy and profitable. Are the trading parameters difficult? Of course! Trading by nature is one of the hardest ways to make a living or extra income - the success rate of traders who DO NOT...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

    traderjo, I think you can get an overall sense of the investment I put in -- "So after a few months of resets and monthly renewals..." -- simple math, you don't need a specific dollar amount. I am trading the $150K account but that is irrelevant -- I just need 2 contracts...more than enough...

    Big-3 "Pay2Play" Prop Firms and the COVID-19 crisis?

    The reason you have never heard of these firms is because you are in a different category of trader. You are driving a Ferrari while we are taking the train with our Metrocards. No facetiousness -

    Big-3 "Pay2Play" Prop Firms and the COVID-19 crisis?

    I have updated the title to more accurately reflect the distinction in their prop firm category. Agreed...most are trading on sim -- but within the past few months, they have been very transparent about that. At the end of the day, most traders are not experienced enough to take a profit...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

    Not sure - I will play it by ear. It will also depend on how they operate for "true funded traders" -- right now, I am in my Pro-Account but so far, so good. For example, they gave me my Pro-Account a few hours after the close of trading on my 10th day which was pretty impressive. I'll update...

    Big-3 "Pay2Play" Prop Firms and the COVID-19 crisis?

    My question for open discussion is how do you think these companies will fare in the wake of this current crisis? After all, it's a question of the financial health of their broker. Right? If their broker goes bust, they are essentially out of business... I don't recall any of the Big-3...

    TopstepTrader Q & A

    TST, OneUp, E2T....all these firms provide a great opportunity for "experienced" traders with solid risk management parameters/contingencies to generate profits using the firm's money. It is not their job to cater to traders who are unable to trade according to their rules and requirements...
