iccenuol, Please explain what is skin in the game? What do you mean wake up and smell the coffee? Explain yourself

dealmaker, I can say this: It's better to born into privilege and wealthy family, and full of luck , and know-how, resources, good community, successful parents, THAN to be born into poor/ low-income, not good community and no resources and struggling parents. It is what it is, Kylie is rich...

murray t turtle, There is an old saying I adapted in my life about 10 years ago, and goes like this "If you can't beat them, join them". I will stick to the S&P 500 index auto investing twice a month. Easy, Automated, Good back test results, and makes money long term. Keep it Simple.

Thanks for explaining, I only invest in Vanguard Index SP 500 fund for long term retirement. I don't have the energy or time to be playing around with Hedge Fund people, just invest index and move on. Keep it simple. Warren Buffett kicked the Hedge Fund people ass from one investment in 2008...

murray t turtle, I am sorry, but I do not understand what you are talking about. Can you please re explain? What are you saying here about WSJ?

Frederick Foresight, I think i spend about $1200. I had to pay $100 reset fee for doing stupid stuff and hitting the daily loss limit 2 times. Lol, I understand what you mean. Now I know the what it takes, it makes me practice better and be serious.

ktmtrader, I lasted about 1 month in funded before hit drawdown and failing. It was fun and challenging. My reason for failing was all MY fault, it has nothing at all to do with TST. Hesitation, fear and missed trades made me fail.

Frederick Foresight, Yes and No. Yes, I could have set the TST rules and profit target and tried in SIM before going to TST, then saved my own capital. No, I can not simulate real live emotions and pressure in the beginning of trading live. Paying the monthly cost puts skin in the game. The...

volente_00, I left because the trading strategy I was using in TST was not proven in back test or forward testing to make consistent money. In order to get funded, a trader needs a proven trading method (discretionary or automated) that will make money AND AND have drawdown within TST rules...

Frederick Foresight, Of course I am better off. TST taught me the following: 1. Risk Management of a small capital account. 2. How to handle pressure day to day with its strict drawdown and daily loss limits. 3. It gave me a goal to reach 4. I was able to know my flaws of my trading in...

qubit000, They are not a scam. My friend and I was there for 6 months. Very good service.

qlai, I agree totally. An opportunity to make money.

Thanks tommcginnis, I apologize to you, but I really don't not understand post #11 you wrote or what your complaint is with TST. Unless you can break down for me in simple terms, I do not know what you are talking about man. The traders in the article are making money and to me, that's all its...

tommcginnis, Just to make sure I understand you, are you stating that TST only show a few days/weeks/months of a trader profitability and should show more trades or more months/years of a trader progress? I guess it's like me having one month of trading profits and start bragging to a new...

ironchef, I was trader at TST (a year and half ago) for about 7 months and failed the combined 3 times and made it to funded once and failed. I am currently not a trader at TST and trade live now.

tommcginnis, If you are suggesting the article(s) should track the profitable traders trades over time (6 months to x years) to show consistent profitable traders, I Agree with you. TopStepTrader should track their traders over time to see if they are a consistent. I agree.

tommcginnis, Thanks for your comment. The way and how TopStepTrader runs their business, is their business. The objective of the article is to show there are normal day traders making money and beating the odds. In a nutshell, winning.

You're welcome vin2018, A bit of encouragement and evidence of day traders making money is always helpful, atleast to me it is.

pinetboltz, Good point. I believe the edge is this for us retail traders. Edge is hard work and effort and smart thinking and working with smart people who have the same trading ideas as you. 1. Trade the future markets only on the intraday charts. That is where the money is. Looking for...
