    Choice between Topstep and Oneup ?

    I am probably late to the party but it's not what you are most comfortable with. Cons of OneUp: live trailing and once funded, every 15 calendar days you have to be in profit. Not make profit just be in profit. Cons of TST: two steps to be funded or 3 if you opted to take their performance...

    150K TST Combine

    I was like that once. Like a kid in the candy store, lots of candy to choose and eat from. Nowadays I just trade NQ, more specifically mnq with two charts. Good luck though.

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    They have the Nadro Course but imo, if you pass their Tryout you do not need their course. I am not even worried. I rather put myself on the pedestal than them anyway. Making my little pittance with my own account, no worries here. Just that I had be plans after passing their tryout but it...

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    Alright it's been awhile. So after I passed the Tryout with Apeteros, a month later I received the account. They deposited $2500.49 in the live account. When asked about that and if it was a demo account, Merritt told me that it was a live account and that they will put money in the...

    Read Atomic Habits and The Compound Effect though the latter imo is better. GL.

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    @marsku when it came to the rules, I only focused on maximum drawdown and the daily loss limit. There was a mistake I made in forgetting that I needed to close my position early on the Wednesday before thanksgiving day. One of those holidays. I thought I was disqualified. As for commissions and...

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    I did!!! I passed Apteros, after 3 months of battling with myself. My Hercules heel was reaching 4k-5k and losing big the next day and the next. What I mean big is 1k to less than $1500. Daily Loss Limit is $1500. There were no resets but there was a close call when after reached around 5k...

    Time frames

    I use the Daily, 30min and 2 mins. I use to use the one min alone but like someone said, it is too unstable.

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    @tango29 and FlashGordon. Every Funded Account I acquire, I am borrowing a few thousand dollars to trade with to potentially make profits. I am in the market more regularly than just trading one account and my skills do not dull. Who puts all their eggs in one basket? One of my greatest...

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    So I lasted one trading day on LeeLoo funding (they do not have a daily loss limit restriction) and lasted two days on OneUp funded (they do have a daily loss limit). Moving on to progression, I just got funded with SpeedUp Trader, signed contract and waiting for my funded account. Earn2Trade, I...

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    I do apologized Mr. Alexander for the misunderstanding. Anyone reading the "exampled offer" might probably think the same thing if it is not worded clearly as in "Fixed withdrawal period" and "Money is not withdrawn on the same profit twice". I still think Earn2Trade approach is unfair to the...

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    @theOrangebarron, trading is fine. It's not where I want to be but I am still struggling with my attitude. Like today I just blew my account of SpeedUP because I was just bored, sigh. The Upside, I am sending in my results later to LeeLoo Trading, since I will reach the requirement to be...

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    This week would be considered a lazy week by my standards. I tried the 400 dollars daily loss limit but since it is one account, it's too minimal for me and so today I asked OneUp to up the Daily Loss Limit to 1k. So I have basically 3k out of 5k to spend before failed. This area imo would be...

    How do you trade: one setup or one product?

    Looks like I do not belong to any category. One setup mostly and one chart with one product :).

    Am I Wasting My Time?

    What type of trader are you or would like to be? What type of chart do you look at, if any? What kind of TimeFrame or timeframes you look at? Do you have an edge? What are the characteristics of this edge? How fast can you identify this edge once you have open up your charts. How much are you...

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    Alright, I had a great 3 days and a miserable 4th day. LeeLoo has a never ending trailing until funded and does not have a Daily Loss Limit. I'll try again some other time, maybe. I am back with OneUp since my only disaster plan was a stoploss and just could not adhere to my personal daily loss...

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    Not that I am aware of. I know that I cannot have rithmic and NinjaTrader open at the same time because of CME new rule. If I do have NinjaTrader open and I log into rithmic, NTrader will automatically log off of that company.

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    So the week was rough with LeeLoo. Started off great, 3 days profitable up 4300 dollars on the account but on Thursday had melt down and had to Reset. Now I am up 900 dollars and I trade one Trade/Day on this account for discipline and not overtrading. Earn to trade bigger lots right :).

    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    Alright I failed the TryOut Last week on SMB :(. I am using LeelooTrading now. Doing well so far but I have to cut out the gambling format which consists of overtrading and high Daily Loss Limit and Trading on Sunday nights. This week I will be doing things differently. Check back in on...
