Avoid TopStep....from a former Topstep cheerleader

Been doing okay with my own IB funded account.

Thinking about opening another evaluation with OneUp.

Topstep and the bullshit micro swing account "holding over the weekend" rule is total nonsense. Then again it is their capital so nuff said. Thank goodness for competitors...

You're doing "okay" with your own account, yet consider doing business with OneUp?

Makes no sense...

"I added a second funded account with MFF in 9 days.
Although their minimum trading days to pass challenge is 5 days, if you pass early on the 5th day, you are immediately given access to next phase. I was able to trade phase 2 in the 5th day morning right after I passed phase 1. My funded account was given me in the 5th day phase 2 morning, when I passed phase 2, and I got funded account access 2 hours after I sent in my signed contract.
MFF used to be slow, but after automation, now everything is fast, it is much faster than FTMO.
Compared with FTMO, there is no cons for MFF, only pros.
Challenge is easier, price is cheaper, customers service is fast."
 
Topstep and Earn2trade are the only ones I believe currently that actually put you on a live account(E2T makes it optional for you). Most others are Live-Sim where they reserve the right to copy your trades. You may already be aware of this, just an FYI if not.


All that really matters is that the firm will pay you your share of the profits you generate promptly and consistently when you make a withdrawal request. Whether the trades are done with a “real” Account or not doesn’t matter —IF— the firm has a reputation for paying the full amount due to you promptly and consistently.

Additionally - firms that offer fixed daily loss drawdowns below the zero line and fixed max total loss drawdowns that are below the zero line are definitely more favorable to the trader—
—as opposed to firms that only offer trailing drawdowns and/or firms that eliminate drawdowns (meaning they eliminate their funding) once you hit a certain profit amount are to be avoided at all cost in my opinion
 
This is very late, but we lifted the weekend hold restriction on Swing Trading Combines.

Why would you even have a weekend hold restriction on a swing combine? What is the point? The weekend swings in the futures are no lessor or greater than during the week overnight? Weird.

The Weekly Loss Limit is functionally the Daily Loss Limit for the Swing Trading Combine.
