Exchange seats -they are for institutions and big traders. Want to guess why I was talking about them and not pumping up tst on another thread?
I'm busy so I won't be responding anymore by the way
Quote from Maverick74:
I was giving over night margins you idiot. For Crude Oil in the last 12 months that has ranged from 6500 to 12k. Bye bye kid.

Quote from colonial dr:
No you weren't giving overnight margin, you were giving exaggerated made up numbers. Topstep does NO trading past the close, like you mentioned earlier. Like I mentioned, real traders can be spotted on this website like a banker in Compton, LA.

I know I said I would stop, but about your question on exchange seats -you asked anyone can lease them. No they can't, only rich people like me can lease them because they cost a little under $1 MM leased and more when purcahsed. That was why I mentioned it. -mike![]()
No you can't trade past the close. The close on the ES is 4:30 and the open is a few minutes later. I found this on their /your website http://www.topsteptrader.com/ScoutingCriteria "Do not hold a position into the electronic close of the product trading (recruits may trade overnight but must be flat when their product's electronic market is closed)" This remains true for funded traders. Just pointing this out so people don't take your misrepresentation seriously (you do this allot by the way, with CL lot sizes, exchange seats, etc.).Quote from Maverick74:
Of course you can trade past the close with TST. How the f*ck do you trade over night if you can't trade past the close you buffoon.
Hey lookie here kid, here is your big man link to leasing a CME seat with a standard discount broker!

Quote from RenkoTrades:
Both programs have their pros and cons. Both programs are definitely doable for the typical successful independent trader. I don't think the TST program is too difficult to get funded, I think their program is set to weed out the undisciplined and they must do that. The $350 charge is no big deal, how many traders blow that on their new shinny indicator every other month.
It is great to see these type of businesses offering "a shot" to already successful traders who want some additional capital access. Why not, reduce your own funds in your MF Global and PFG accounts and work off the "backers" dime.
Oh wait, all the money in the MF Global and PFG accounts you had is gone. See how these new business models offer excellent alternatives? I definitely do!
I hope more of these companies start popping up in the months ahead. $250 to $350 entrance fees to "pay to play" is no problem imo. I will pay that for the opportunity to work their program if i want access to their capital. Heck, how much did you leave on the last blackjack or craps table you took a shot at?
The fees are cool by me. Thanks for the information in this thread about these companies Mav.
