    Haha. Good trolling. Down to earth guy rofl. You sound like a negative lost soul broken by the market. someone who needs to constantly add negative filth about TST to this thread because they failed and as a self protection mechanism they call scam constantly. I know a loser when I see one dude...

    What are you looking for? You want them to show you 100s of traders making 20k a week? Not going to happen as most traders fail with or without topstep. The whole most people dont take a decent cheque with TST so therefore its a scam argument is very dumb. Most people never earn from trading...

    Day 5 down on the farm. just hit a +1 tick winner on ES. This time next week I will be submitting the combine for approval. Of course the only thing that matters is the live account performance. The FTP target of $3000 seems very doable compared to the $9000 combine target albeit with a few...

    So you want to know the correlation of the Day 11 equity balance to the combine traded. It's bound to be a high positive correlation isn't it if we are talking about the subset of people who make it to Day 11 live. Of course it is likely that those trading the larger combines will have higher...

    No it's not flawed logic Joe. TST does want traders to exercise strict risk management. The combine has less strict rules than the FTP it's a progression into the stricter rules. If they had the strictest rules from outset even fewer would make it through. Saying it is set up for the...

    I dont agree Joe. To ask a day trader who is supposedly building an account to be flat 3 times a day is necessary not ridiculous. When they have a bigger account they can survive a hit but not while starting out. Most people cannot exercise strict risk management and thats one of the main...

    I simply dont agree on every point. Business model is clear. They make money on combine fees and splits probably more on fees but so what. They offer a service and the customer pays. no sympathy for the chef here. Risk control is not optional in this business. The vast majority cannot control...

    Yeah its unfortunate but I dont see how else I could play this. I just had a huge day, thats my strategy to clean up on trend days. Now the FTP is mandatory I dont see the issue. Whatever the response from them I will post it on this thread. I can only trade to the rules.

    Joe that's news to me. So they have different rules for each contract? I was under the impression that it was the same rule for all contracts. Can you point me to where they show this info. thanks.

    Where are the facts Pekelo? They obviously market themselves. I go into a store its buy 1 get 1 free. Is that second item really free? You see what I am getting at. On the end they are funding plenty of people, most will go on to fail but most start up businesses fail its no different.

    Day 3 combine update. The trade report covering days 1 & 2 has been updated overnight - see below. As planned I took a +1 in 6E (euro) this morning to maintain limits in that contract for the FTP/funded stages. 7 days to go now. The plan is to hit 1 tick winners in 6B(pound) & ES(S&P) in the...

    Yes I am aware of this rule for the FTP and live accounts. My understanding is they may waive this rule accept for the really big data releases NFP, FOMC, inventories for CL etc. IF a funded trader has a sufficiently large balance in their account. I totally agree with this rule. The trader is...

    I don't see the point of this post it's just pure unadulterated negativity. Yes they relaxed the combine rules and it does look like it's easier to pass now so naturally we would expect more traders to make it through. Some months will be more some will be less, lots of reasons why this could...

    Understanding institutional trading can help prevent losing money in false breakouts.

    you are on the right track in your thinking but just scratching the surface. support and resistance drawn on charts is just showing your hand to market makers. Yes most breakouts fail that is the result of larger players building inventory. Trading is a complex game and the beauty is the...

    good spot sir. I will bear that in mind when batting out the remaining 8 days. I am only $225 over the target but I intend on playing for -1,0,+1 ticks on ES,6E, 6B contracts, ideally I will take 1 tick winners on these 3 contracts, then -1,0,+1 back on the CL to pass. In the past 'batting out'...
