I am curious if you don't mind, what went wrong with the Earn2Trade combine? It seems a lot easier than OneUpTrader because it has a lot less rules.
As far as Apiary Fund, One that may be able to compete would be FTMO as they seem to be a 1 time fee not a monthly like Apiary
Earn2Trade is easier than OneUp yes I think so. Without going too much into it, with OneUp
you get to be funded faster, they also have a disable account feature for if you go over a
certain amount your account is disable until the next trading day. Once reaching the profit
target, you can just scalp the rest of the days without your trades being judged as long as
you make the consistency rule. I do not have to open Rithmic trader to trade two lots at a
time with One Up since I do get the leverage on my NJTrader. All of my trades are Market
OCO orders. Finally my frustration with both companies is that if I lose internet, whether the
trade was placed on rythimic or NJT, and if the market reaches and passes my stop, it will not
activate.
I emailed Francis or Ryan, one of them told me that if I were to trade differently
after reaching the profit target, it would affect my "offer" adversely.
I did not like that answer. After I lost all my profits in about 3 to 4 days. I found the mindset
to make it back but then my stop did not activate and so that was all she wrote.
So to keep it simple, I trade two lots and monitor my trades like a hawk lol, while focusing on
my Daily Loss Limit. FTMO reminds me of TST, Earn2Trade is closer to Apiary than FTMO
because of their BootCamp Education which I do not have any knowledge of its contents.
Apiary, in my eyes, would be considered a sanctuary for any who is actually serious and
wants to learn about trading. What I get from Apiary in my one week with them is that risk
management of 1 to 2% on a trade is vital to my success.
