I would label myself a periodically consistently profitable trader as I've had months of good results, but was not yet able to maintain my results at end of the year. Maybe one day I'll reach consistency, but in some ways I already gave up, although I keep plugging away. Okay. Good. Still...

You seem to have a lot of knowledge about these firms and TopStep in particular. How would you rate E2T in comparison? From my point of view, only TopStep and E2T are viable alternatives with the critical parameter being that they actually put you on a live account which doesn't introduce any...

And length of track record? It seems to me there might be a bit of a catch 22 situation here as by the time anyone would have amassed an impressive track record for any length of time, they might not be in a position where they'd need external capital or a 'job' anyway.

You should not need to 'believe your day trading edge is high' - your results alone should answer this and clear out all doubts. From my perspective, trading, and day trading in particular, is a very marginal business and you're either making money or you're not. Sadly, being nearly good enough...

Could you kindly elaborate on your strong recommendation of TopStep? Did you or do you know anyone who withdrew substantial funds from them? Feelings are generally not interesting. Only facts and numbers. I checked out their TrustPilot reviews after @DevBru made me aware that they reduced...

Few, if any, have any clue about where the market is going. This latest rally was unimaginable and irrational for some, yet that's where the market went. Likewise, for some, this recent correction was unfathomable. By Wednesday's Close some poster said the market was unstoppable after a strong...

Seems slightly off-topic, but curious what changes they made that make their offering much more interesting?

I can't offer you any guidance, but I'm curious about specifically what type of job you're seeking with these firms and what your background is? I had imagined that any or all market making these days were done electronically and that to land a job with any of these firms typically required a...

You remind me of someone who used to post here. Interesting. Why would they do this and specifically what are the differences from the 'standard performance accounts'? Exactly. I don't see Apex as anything other than a modern bucket shop and would hesitate to call it a funded account as...

Interesting. Went a bit further than I had anticipated to be honest.

A drop or a pop by the Close seems equally likely here. Easy morning. Tricky afternoon.

Looks like that gap below (4399,75) will be taken care of after all. Curious if that can unlock some buying or we continue lower.

Time based long signal here. :) I'm not uber-confident, but looking for a move to 4430/35 in the last two hours. There's a chance this can roll over still, though, so not giving it much wiggle room.

ES new lows. NQ not. 6 points shy of that open gap. I'd say we still have good probabilities of a sizeable bounce from here, but we may fully fill that gap first.

NQ trying to clear yesterday's low here. If we start ripping - I would guess a move back to mid range, i.e., 4435 or so.

Bounced off yesterday's low. Outside Days tend to nudge a bit more below the PD Low than this, so not convinced we have the LOD yet. We could, though.

Outside Day on NQ. Would be surprising if ES doesn't fill the gap from Tuesday, too. EDIT: And now Outside Day on ES as well. 4400 incoming.

Bag holders which piled in yesterday, overnight and in the morning session should be feeling the pain now. Trend days commonly reverse, but I'm sure everyone knows that. :)

Didn't post the entry, but went flat on a trailing stop at 61.50 on the second PB from the highs. NQ not participating must have been what killed this rally. Still a nice day with a morning short and a reversal long. Not sure how this day plays out from here, but it can be a tricky one, so why...

NQ not playing with so far....
