Day 2 FTP update. nosebleed day. balance -$1969. max draw is $3k for week so I only have $1k draw left for next 3 days. Lets see what can be done.

I think I might know why he no longer participates. Maybe he just got ground down by the endless negative baseless comments from certain members who have been broken by the market. you are da man Pekelo, all your ideas have been implemented, ha. The idea of yours that TST should automate...

marex is a well known broker in london and they offer access to a number of OTC markets. They offer a number of OTC voice and OTC screen markets in energy. http://www.marexspectron.com/the-markets/energy

thanks for posting that's interesting. So are these types of markets limited to broking (is that a word?) for a customer. I was thinking about power and energy markets. I certainly don't want to get involved 'pitching' trades to anyone.

I was hoping for someone to share their experience of trading OTC markets. My understanding is that these markets are less liquid and therefore the price maker can potentially make a profit by handling the customers specific requirements.

I am trying to find markets where the bid/ask is sizeable and it's less competitive. I am guessing the barriers to entry are going to be high in these markets. Perhaps OTC options.

Day 1 of FTP complete. finished on -$29.78. couldn't get the expansion I was looking for, was up $1k at one point but gave it back. Some days it isn't there so will see what tomorrow brings.

Hey Just wondered if anyone out there is trading an OTC market apart from FX? I am always interested in learning about new markets, it would be great if anyone could share their experience. Thanks endicott

if people are saying on a trading forum that now might be a good time to go long then we could be in for a pullback. :sneaky:

I bow down to your superior TST knowledge. Yep the $1 for the month re load looks like how they reworked it. From outset I figured i would allow myself 2 resets, so if I do fall down at any point I will use this $1 combine to take another shot. Hopefully I wont need them, my FTP trading this...

Whilst I don't share Volente's negative attitude I think he is correct that previously the combine fee was fully refundable IF you did not break any of the rules even if the profit target was not met and you finished positive. This has now been changed. I have to admit it was a sweeter deal...

I haven't read the thread as I am not looking for a new strategy but I will throw something out there in the public domain that people can do what they want with. You can formulate a strategy based on the 2 timeless market concepts of: 1. market expand and contract. 2. the markets like to (but...

omg now we are onto the tax angles, more excuses. The majority of traders will never pay a dime in taxes ever as they wont make a profit ever. The idea of TST is to start your trading career. Once you hit your number $100k, $250k or whatever it is you are obviously going to structure your...

It's not unrealistic at all it's natural to need to try something again and again when learning. As I said in a previous post the own live account equivalent of a reset is that the trader has blown a large whole in his account and then has to save to reload it or worse borrow money. The sim...

Errrr maths fail.

Man you are sooo negative. The reset just gives you an extra chance whilst learning. Consider what a reset would mean for a newb in their own account. They will have taken a big hit of real money and be emotionally damaged by it. The reset allows you to try again. People shouldnt be taking...

Day 10 update - received confirmation from Topstep that my combine was passed and go ahead to start FTP. They must be up early in Chicago! Starting the FTP monday. It says in the email if I fail the FTP I will go back to the combine and they will give me the 1st month of a $150k combine for $1. GW.

Trade report updated overnight. No response yet from TST on starting the FTP, I guess it's going to be Monday now. GW.

I am not laughing the 245-249 could easily happen its around there a 100% monthly measure move would reach, the contrarian view always runs further. When it makes ATH tho it will be a great partial/majority banking point for the pension fund, doesn't matter if you don't catch the top its one...

endicott 48% lol and that's with mucho trolling.
