13 Upvotes

I’ve been steadily progressing with my trading on XFAs, and I’m excited to share that I’ve passed my 5th combine in just three months. I currently have one XFA live account, which has been running successfully for 35 days. Today, I confidently took a short position at the market open, and it worked out well. I’m sharing this not to influence anyone’s decisions, but simply to express my joy and progress.

In my last post I had a rough day I was down after like 9 trades then the day after i made like $80 and was happy. Today i did things a little different and made $500+. Pulled out early but hey Chase winners, and slow and steady. Any second could have a crazy reversal so I'm happy with my 500.

Payout FIRST PAYOUT WITHDRAWAL RULES ? Confused

Upvotes

Hello been trading a funded account for a while and I’m eligible for my first payout but I’m confused .

I use a topstep tradovate account so my platform is a little different but this is the only topstep subreddit

“I understand going forward, my account cannot go below $0. (Required)” is the prompt I’m receiving

I understand you can withdraw 50% of your account balance

So if I have a 1000$ account balance and withdraw 500 I only have 500 to trade now ?

Upvotes

Hey, so I bought 5 accounts and by mistake I traded 5 full NQ contracts instead of 5 MNQ and made 3,400.

What will happen now ? They will ask me to make additional 3,400 ? Close my accounts?

Thanks guys.

Express Funded (XFA) Circuit breaker level today (04/07)

2 Upvotes

For those trading NQ, do not trade below 16612 today…

Although if you’re trading a combine, I believe the price limit rule does not apply.

And please, anyone in the community that has a different level, do share and challenge, but Im pretty sure I am right.

Express Funded (XFA) Scalping vs trend intraday trades: Which is better?

1 Upvotes

For long, I've been a huge proponent of trading the larger trend and ignoring any trades on the opposite side. I enter on the 10-second timeframe and aim for a 1:2 risk-to-reward.

But I've been recently flirting with scalping on the 15-second timeframe, and my backtesting shows that I get a lot more trades – and ultimately a lot more returns.

I was wondering what do the people here think? I've seen some crazy account gains recently on this channel.

Express Funded (XFA) Percent limit rule

Post image
6 Upvotes

Just wanted you all to know, if you have Tradingview, it tells you the percent the market has moved since open in the watchlist. Hope this helps, instead of doing math all the time lol maybe if topstepx has a watchlist it may show the same, this is also the free version I don’t pay for Tradingview.

Trading Combine So with that drop and huge gap, can we trade combines today? Or the the 2 limit rule is active

Trading Combine Too many trades?

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

This is my first combine and I am coming from trading small caps for about 10 months everyday and journaling.

Bought this challenge and my form of trading is super hyper scalping on the 1m, 30s and 1s time frames. Obviously with higher time frame key levels.

I’ve been doing okay and I will rarely do this on impulse but I tend to enter my dip buys too early expecting a reversal even when I know where my key level is at but I just enter a bit early with small size and I get stopped out, then size up on the next trade, catch the real move, and hold to my target but those small paper cuts sometimes add up.

My easy money setups are :

  1. Finding the trend direction on higher time frame, going on smaller time frames, waiting for a pullback and entering on the 90ema bounce

  2. Going on the 30m time frame and marking a recent FVG, going on smaller time frames and waiting for that zone to bounce from it or fill it for entries. (Direction has to be favorable)

Trading Combine Minimum Position size

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have just joined TX; I have a question on position size. Is 1 lot the smallest position I can open on Micro NQ? Is there no way I can open 0.25 or 0.5 lots? Opening a whole lot size for an initial position doesn’t work well with my risk management approach; it’s far too much. Generally I will open very small trades and get more Information from there; I call these probe trades. Having such a large size gives me very little room to breathe setting my SL at $250 on a $50k account. If the platform is there encourage good risk management, why not allow much smaller positions? It seems counterintuitive. I guess I should use the practice account for the probes and then add my trade when I have more confidence. Psychologically I have more awareness of price if I have a tiny trade on that I don’t mind losing $20 to get more information. Losing 1/8 of my account for less info isn’t helping my style of trading.
