Sadly I think out of topstep and oneup One up has better terms. Topstep will terminate if you violate the daily loss limit even though the trailing stop wasn't violated. I agree if the news shouldn't be traded it would make more sense for the company to auto flatten all positions for specific...

I contacted topstep about the news thing and its also I terminable "offense" as well. if you didnt meet the min withdrawal threshold i think your balance would have to be over 159,000 in order to qualify for a withdraw i dont know the policy if for some reason you do have a profit and get...

They only count realized gains(raw price difference*tick value) Im trying topsteps evaluation account now does anyone know if they automatically close positions during news events or do you have to be out yourself and if not does that mean that eliminates you from funding consideration?

Does topstep use the commissions that are used in the TST Trader app? 1.16 i think. Also during news events are you automatically closed if your in a position or if you are in a position during the evaluation during an event you are automatically not funded since you broke one of the criteria...

It looks like its assured though the probability is on their side that most evaluation accounts will fail to hit the target and meet the requirements. And then even if someone does make it they have them trading on sim until they feel the person is a really good trader(until they lose enough...

10/14 3 day week summary of the demo account overall -$500.I really need to work on my tilt issues. Friday was pure gambling.

I decided to give TST a try since I was banned from One Up Trader for asking if it was real. I was pleased to find that they are using tradovate for TSTrader so I should be able to place trades while at work..... Im going to stay on the 150k demo until 10/24/17 then depending on how that goes I...

You really just need patience wait for a dip and buy calls $AMZN, $GOOGL, $AAPL, $NFLX get at least 3 months of time. If you have levels you can buy a spread and leg out.

lol the survey is almost 50% of course. I wouldn't say top 20 for myself

$650k is the largest account based on the website

I was listening to 52 Traders(the mentor challenge one) I personally think he mainly interviews scammers but when there is nothing else to listen to while driving occasionally you may pick up a nugget or two. I bought the mentor challenge because i thought it was interesting that he put regular...

I swear selling education to traders is the way to go.

I've been with them for about a year they came a long way they have been really accommodating. I among others requested Sierra charts/Bookmap access and they made it happen. Still waiting on Investor RT though.

I have the bookmap desktop version with tradovate and it uses CQG they charge a per trade fee(0.09) to route it though

Each 1 point(4 tick) move is $50 each tick is $12.50 you are paying a something either opportunity cost(waiting for an aggressive order to fill you) or the bid-ask spread(jumping the bid-ask spread ie) paying 1 tick more than what others are willing to pay)

I appreciate your input you have confirmed what I suspected about not trading live immediately and clarified some claims about being paid made in the One up community while i was a part of it.

If your trading big contracts cash will take your entire 10 - 100 lot order. In futures you would have to work that size of an order in or risk moving the market

The spread in /M6e is 1 tick in the eur and us sessions. Currently Austrian session it's 2 ticks The reason i care who is on the other side of the trade is that you don't have more money than them and you will always say uncle before they have to liquidate especially when they have all the...

Whatever you use to trade execution and money management is key. It kills me when people rag on a particular method they may work for someone else. It's true indicators are a derivative of price and volume but I agree with the OP you even if you don't use them directly if your trading on...

I traded but I cant use my current tight stop strategy because of the low liquidity(best trading time is from 3am-10:30am sometimes longer) so I am testing another strategy for M6E(e-mini eur/usd). In America retail cash is a Dealing desk(aka market makers ie the broker is your counter part to...
