It would be interesting to know what gets you kicked out once funded the rules basically say you can go as low as the margin and still be funded. I highly doubt any firm will actually let you do this so what is the funded max drawdown.

20% win rate efficiency of only 30% If i can get it up to even 50% I think that would be a huge boost. The problem is im not sure how to do that

June 2018 results commissions and fees are my biggest expensive again only 6 day of trading this month. Going to look at the actual data again but I actually felt like I did really really bad this month turns out I only lost around $150 on trades and 481 on commissions and fees.

I looked at my balance and its around $13k today. The 1st and 2nd day were massive lossing days a mix of random entiries holding onto losers. Im in recovery at all cost mode which is probably what is expected of most people once they are down since they technically can go as low as the full...

The Earn 2 Trade Gauntlet last until 8/25/18 but essentially I failed it they say you can still pass but Im not sure how that is possible trading and meeting days dont mix something else to add to my list No Fridays, meeting days, angry days, watching kids, lunchtime, multitasking. I ended the...

i saw a tweet on twitter from somone that says he trades full time and has been since 99 "if the market is down 15% for the year and im down 1%, i might be a great money manager, but i failed big time as an independent trader" I agree with this. independent traders trade to make money managing...

I'll start a journal i well have 2 weeks off for the upcoming holiday so i will be able to actually properly log my trades

This is what I would expect from a firm that is trying to get good traders they would not want you over leveraged. And honestly anyone can probably catch a good day and make their goal in 1 day with 5 or 10 contracts. Hence why the other 2 companys actually make you go through the process twice...

My stops go in automatically normally there are times when I enter a trade on error or try to go for a few ticks. From all my data I have about a 30% win rate so I go far 4-5x winners typically use a 4 tick stop I’m more comfortable with smaller stops because I know the more trades I do the...

Normal trading issues where having so many winning days makes me feel as if I will eventually get that big winner. Everyone’s issue letting a small loss turn into a bigger loss

Mine is from a traders perspective the only thing someone that pays for this will be is it real.

I just heard about Earn2Trade and while Im waiting on my TST to renew next month I thought why not try it out there is a 50% off coupon(bigpromo50). Im always skeptical of these become a trader things. there are now (3) that i know of TST, Oneup and now Earn2Trade TST I've verified they give you...

I dont understand what is up for debate here even if global warming isnt man made things that most scientist are trying to get countries to do will help air quality which is linked to several chronic illnesses the real issue is cost stop saying chemistry isnt real . If dont believe that air...

the first post has the pictures of the payments to Tst started Oct 2017 but i guess would say March 2018 is when i started actually paying for it. I tried it in Oct 2017 failed and didnt do it again seriously until March

My step 1 busted out on the FOMC day where i was trying to make quick cash after a few winning days though that after so many loses i was due a win.

I decided for the summer to do another topstep combine rather than have my live account get chopped up. I passed the first part with 2 resets then i violated the max 2 contracts(they dont allow any exceptions to this rule although it was a error which i get i guess) i was going to reset but im...

With summer coming up sounds like your essentially just tosing a coin hoping something comes of it you have to meet the target 2x before you see any cash in TST and Oneup. One thing i would advise is use a realistic stop dont do small stops unless you are actually good at orderflow and can take...

TST can probably help with testing a strategy but the max drawdowns are purely based on how well your strategy happens to work in the current trading environment. I wouldn't spend more than the amount you will be funded after that your losing money to trade in a simulated environment even if you...

May 2018 results were not what I expected I took about 62 trades had a 1.5 profit factor. I found that part of my rational for switching to NQ was faulty. I thought that I was losing more trades in ES that somehow were going against me after being 3+ points in profit I only found 3 trades were I...
