Choice between Topstep and Oneup ?

[LCK2000]

Scam implies they take your money and give you nothing for it. They are not scams.
They are difficult to pass, they aren't for everyone.

They are all scams. Just some are slight less scams than others. But at the end of the day they are all scams.

You need to Google the definition of a scam ...

Hi - You seem to have experience with all these firms. Which one, in your opinion, has the most straight forward program? In other words, they all seem to have a "gotcha" hidden somewhere which you don't see until you're actually funded.

Leeloo's withdrawal schedule is ridiculous. They're playing with your profits and you can't touch them for at least a month. Then they have this 60 day no trade period on top of that. They do everything they can to prevent a good trader from taking their money out.

Earn-to-Trade has practically no information at their website. What are their hidden "gotchas"?

Topstep now has a 20 second rule and clearly says they don't want scalpers. Okay, goodbye to them.

OneUpTrader is probably the most straight forward, although their withdrawal schedule seems a bit strict.

Speedup Trader: Looks like a scam - poor reviews and experiences from people who have tried them.

So which one would you commit to? Are there any others out there?

Thanks for your input.

I had my best experience with LeeLoo so far, but i choose the accelerator program, not the investor program.

I think you also misunderstood LeeLoos 60 day pause, it doesn't mean you can't trade for 60 days, it means you can't increase trading size for 60 days once you have reached your evaluation account max contract number.

For example my max during evaluation was 8, so once i reach 8 i have to trade 60 days with max 8 contracts and after that i can increase again if i meet the conditions set by LeeLoo.

Edit: this only applies to the accelerator account, with the Investor account you can never scale beyond the maximum of your evaluation account.

With OneUp vs TopStepTrader - OneUp seems like a no-brainer. 15 days only. Realistic parameters.

Add LeeLoo and it gets even better: no daily loss limit, no news rules, the option to hold trades overnight and the option for a static draw down in the funded account.

That's a brilliant move on their part. Because if you attempt to hold 8 contracts overnight, you are instantly margin called at 4PM ET and have to pay for a reset.

Thank you for the clarification - didn't pick that up.

Why do you think it's better when their withdrawal rules are so stringent? Thirty days before you can withdraw? Seems like they're playing with trader's money during the month.

Maybe if you read the rules before commenting on something you know nothing about.

You are only allowed to hold 3 micro contracts in the beginning.
