How does someone get the capital required to turn trading into a business?

Ok this topstep is looking legit now.:

You may certainly want to start with the 14-days sim combine.
From there you will get more clarity about what the main issues might be.

I definitely agree with this approach. And for some reason I make a lot more money trading when I have a job, compared to when I try to sit at home and try to do it full time. Professional income + 100% returnz on trading account = retired in 5 years :eek:

Yeah, when I did the full-time trading thing, it didn't work for me. Probably because I was trying to day trade instead of swing trade. I believe also with me having a job, there's not so much pressure to be right, whereas before, my fear of losing would handicap me.

I'm not sure where you got that from but I have no relationship with them. Surf and I in good spirits did a combine two years ago with them for the purpose of showing how the process works and there is a quite lengthy thread on that as well as several others discussing TST.
