Passed the SMB Futures tryout in 15 days
- Thread starter trade2020
- Start date
You forgot to mention it's $325/mo. to tryout. That is nuts. Given their requirements for tryout it's practically free money for them. You'd be better off donating it to charity. Or better yet save for 6 months and trade MNQ/MES.
Cool shill post though. I'd be surprised if anyone wanted to donate.

how many dont pass what is the ratio?
Nice work, SMB the only ones who don't suck.
What's the point of this? Do they offer better commissions to reduce trading costs and make scalping viable?
you can trade the micros as well. I just trade ES not MES
Not sure about ratio - this tryout is a little harder to pass in my opinion than Topstep because the daily loss limit on this one is $1,000 but the profit target is $5,000 so that is a 5 to 1 ratio
whereas Topstep's are all 3 to 1
I also passed the Earn2Trade $100K tryout. I will also post the link, the tryout rules and parameters for it as well. I simply took the tryout for it as well like I did SMB. I dont work for either one (SMB Capital or Earn2Trade) and neither posting is a shill posting trying to promote either company
