    Should I go Pro or Funded account ? TST

    It took 10 business days from the day you "requested a profit withdrawal" to reach your bank account? That's insane

    Cloud Computing for traders?

    Anyone have thoughts on www.chartvps.com ? I like the ease of their program but am concerned that they can basically access my "Virtual PC" almost whenever they want... And I'm not PC smart enough to create a Google VM but I am learning right now with a free trial. This stuff is not easy ---...

    Cloud Computing for traders?

    MrMuppet, Firstly, thank you for sharing your knowledge -- really interesting food for thought in this thread. Is there a way to determine which company is stronger in their own infrastructure against hackers?

    MrMuppet, Thanks for your insights. Any good service providers you recommend? The only one I have been able to review in-depth is Winity.

    Cloud Computing for traders?

    I'm new to the concept and am doing some research but... Is it possible to trade via a cloud computer? Sorry for the elementary-level question but I am not as tech-savvy as some of you guys and would like any guidance. Ideally, I am thinking that I can log into my "cloud computer" via the...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

    I never would have quit trading if it was because of my own inability to trade. However, if it was because of a platform provider or broker and it was my last straw then... Maybe, yes. Anyway, the next 2 weeks of my life will depend on how TST responds and acts.

    Hello TopStep Mgmt, Per my Facebook public comment, I hope you help correct this unbelievably crazy unfair situation your company has contributed the majority to. I really do not want to make public all of the events that transpired since I have public (BankofAmerica) + emails + screenshots...

    TopStep "Funded Trader" trading rules

    UPDATE: Just confirmed by calling TopStep -- the only trading rules for funded traders are explicitly stated on the website. Much Props! Some of you guys probably read my other thread where I am trying to earn a funded account with TopStep. I've had many resets and monthly renewals but worth...

    TopStep "Funded Trader" trading rules

    No one ever said that trading was easy. No one "deserves" to be funded "just" because they tried to pass the evaluation. Trading other people's money is not a right but a privilege -- only reserved for those who have put the sweat equity in and to be honest are good enough to make money...

    TopStep "Funded Trader" trading rules

    Hello, I scoured the forums to find an answer but was unable to. I have a question regarding rules for funded traders? OneUp imposes additional trading rules (i.e., must trade 1/2 of weekly volume traded during evaluation phase, must have positive equity at the end of every "2 week-period"...

    TopstepTrader Q & A

    Hello TopStep, I have a question regarding rules for funded traders? OneUp imposes additional trading rules (i.e., must trade 1/2 of weekly volume traded during evaluation phase, must have positive equity at the end of every "2 week-period" versus the beginning balance of said "2 week-period")...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

    If I was working a full-time job, my breakeven would be infinity since I would never quit. But since I am not working and have limited savings right now, this is literally "do or die" time. I have just enough savings to get me through this month so I need to get funded by month-end. No...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

    Absolutely -- that's a good idea. Initially, I thought that posting my daily PNL screens would serve a positive for my "mental trading game" but it actually did not and may have had the adverse effect. I also know how difficult it is to pass these evaluations so I wanted to be a source of...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

    This will be my last post. I thought it would help me but after some hard thinking, it has not and has most likely impeded my progress in some ways that even I am not aware of subconsciously... Anyway, good luck all!

    My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

    Absolutely agree....I was having my Internet installed into my new studio when I was in the bad trade and well.....I'm not going to make any excuses, I should have exited. I look at every loss as a lesson and I think I finally realized one of the missing pieces to my trading strategy. Thanks...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

    Not sure what you mean by the "childish" comment but I do 1,000% agree with the mental aspect of trading being more important. Thanks for the feedback!
