    Legendary oil trader forced to shutter hedge fund amid low prices

    I think in some hedge funds you either buy only or sell only. But I might be wrong.

    Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

    Enter the Gauntlet. Whelp, I got suckered into this program by my ambitions :). Judging by the rules and duration of this challenge, I will start with just "one trade per day" philosophy. My Daily Loss Limit $150-$200, still debating. Targets per day==none. Should be turtley fun :).

    Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

    @caacapital Think of it as a funnel if you do not have a 300$ daily loss limit. Imagine losing $700 in one day, and the next day you wish to make it back but market may not favor your system. I do not know the most you ever made in one day under earn2trade conditions. Which one's better, to lose...

    Prop trading Firms

    I am trying Trading Dock right now. What drew me to try them is the lot size you can use in the future. However learning a new platform takes a bit of time for me. I am glad these companies are here, it can really help with your development in trading. I may try earn2trade but maybe next...

    TopstepTrader Q & A

    It's been two weeks now waiting for my Premium Funded Account. This is unprecedented since it does not take more than a week, by your standards, to set up a funded account. I am not getting any answers so hopefully someone from TST can explain, thank you.

    Funded traders

    I just got funded with starting balance 5k in topStepTrader. Should get the account next week since it's been a week waiting now. My journey was a long one though. My combine started in January and I kept on resetting. I guess I was still fine tuning and some people say I am a...

    Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

    I see you are a Forex Trader? Adding my 2 cents if you do not mind. The stats you showed on your Gauntlet Account was very impressive until that 2k drawdown in one day. If you were to remember the settings of the streaks of winnings vs a few minimal losses for the day, would lead you in...

    Which is better - TopStepTrader or Earn2Trade ?

    https://www.danielstrading.com/2013/03/27/tax-advantages-of-futures-trading I live in the US so...but I will try Earn2Trade once finishing up with the new program of TST. I passed my LTP and they offered a Pro Account with very attractive goodies and I just could not resist. Oh yeah, this...

    Do you rely on your trading to put food on the table?

    Nah, had some good runs but too much praise got me distracted. Would be back at it once I have my emotions not too high or too low, cheers.

    Review of One up trader

    Hamster Wheel? What exactly is the definition? Around and around we go continuously? The truth is I put so much effort and energy into these companies in which I was funded once with OneUpTrader and funded several times with TST. Never once did I withdrew any money which I am to be blamed. One...

    From $5000 to Trading for a Living. Is it possible to?

    It can be done, even lower in the futures market. How? Try to get trades that are 70$-120$ stops. Have a loss limit of $300/day. Know the difference between ranges and trends spatially and add a resource or resources to confirm. Know a few reversal patterns/signals and implement them in your...

    Which chart time frame do most intraday traders use for s/r?

    I hardly ever do pyramids, same with adding to losers. If I have a cushion, say $200 for the day and risk $100 and market comes back almost hits my stop but gives another signal, buy/sell, then I will enter another lot. I may "pyramid" it if it goes my way or just get out with two lots. Depends...

    Which chart time frame do most intraday traders use for s/r?

    If I were trading the FX, the lowest TF would be 5mins. I trade futures/NQ so I use the one minute. I do not have a set target most of the time. If a candlestick stick formation goes against me and I am in the green I get out sometimes. NQ gives crazy moves at times. If you are on the right...

    Which chart time frame do most intraday traders use for s/r?

    Not sure about the consensus, but I can illustrate s/r on every TimeFrame I look at. Not interested in Major R/S vs minor r/s since I look at one timeframe (1min) mostly.

    Back at Topstep trader TST

    It's really difficult sometimes to find the right timeframe that suits your personality. Not to mention you are up 50-100 ticks for that day and get overzealous. I use to trade CL but trade NQ because it's the ideal product for me, day and night, night and day. My problem only is not knowing...

    Traders consistent with intraday futures

    It does not matter if price move fast or slow. All you need to do is create a system that works for YOU. BackTesting helps but I suggest live market is better. Seat time helps alot. Personally, I do not think you are that serious yet. It's not a competition to defeat HFT, HFT is going to "hft"...

    my personal thoughts after 20 years of trading

    Hello Mr. PaduTrader/TraderGod, a real trooper you are, "never give up" would be the motto. Maybe you can mention all the tools/resources you use to make a decision on a buy/sell position. I am sure someone will help you. I don't do indicators, for instance my resources are trendlines...
