Almost doubled my target just cause I had a good comeback day.

I need some help for tomorrow so I know not to trade in that range

regarding the email we got about trading when its past 7%, are we good now? how do i determine the %? is it the % up on the tab when you have your preferred exchange open?

Micros now are technically minis.

Why isn’t there an extra micro. Which less value

The market js completely untradable.

Can’t even trade 1 micro. Without is swinging 100s of dollars. Per tick. What is going on.

. Is this a result of increase of global money printing?

Damn, finally passed my 1st combine right now before my rebill tomorrrow, but since the dashboard doesn't reflect my new score ima still get charged i think?😭

Just got my combine and they are requesting copies of my ID which honestly seems very sketchy to me. Just wondering if anyone else has had to do this?

Started my Topstep Combine today and accidentally made $27,384.42 on NQ. Felt great — until I realized I violated the Consistency Rule. Now I have to either grow the account to over $54K, lose $25K to get back under $1,500, or pay $50 to reset.

I chose to lose it.

Been trading 5-lot NQ trying to bleed it out… and I can’t. Market refuses. Every bad setup I take still goes green. I’m literally trying to lose and keep winning. I’ve never been more frustrated making money.

Topstep, I get the consistency idea — but this feels like I’m being punished for a good day. Can we get a better solution than “pay $50 or nuke your own trades”?

Anyone else run into this? This is the dumbest win I’ve ever had.

Is this normal during times of economic ehh… panic? (For lack of a better term)

It’s like no one knows what to do! Candles flip flop up and down, and they don’t even make a proper “fence” lineup, with the next one suddenly showing up way lower or higher than the one right next to it, instead of the usually somewhat connected structure…

New to trading since beginning this year, I’m probably not using the right description here but you know what I mean?

Keeping my fingers off the buttons today 😅

Go to your chart setting scroll all the way down and thank me later implemented it into strategy and it works wonders might help you🤝🏾

trying to just play it pretty safe here and go for decent profits each day, 1-2 trades a day (1 or 2 MNQ contracts & 5-7 EURUSD contracts)

So on the combine i risk more then my normal strategy as shown on the picture. Usually i risk 10% of MLL. My strategy is catching bigger moves ranging from .6% - 5% on NQ/ES. My strategy also allows me to have tight stop losses. I look for a minimum 1 - 1,5 risk reward. If my entry is a top tick type entry i will put tighter stop loss with bigger position.

Day 1: i was $1,800 profit but got greedy and wanted $4,500 and lost some trades, i very rarely let my emotions control but slip ups happen.

Day 2: My trades were simply wrong.

Day 3: Got a perfect setup where all my critiria for what i call a 'guranteed' win trade hit, Witch includes: Liquidity, FVG, IFGV, MACD, SMT divergence, previous session levels and a bit Fib retracment.

Day 4: Got a good entry for a long and reason for '11' trades is because i trade between the ups and downs until my TP hits. So my TP without those trades in between would be $2,300.

I started my trading career 4 months ago and been studying an avg of 6+ hours a day. I don't watch any program or game. i sleep 8 hours a night, go to 6 hours school and go to the gym. I am a person who takes in information extremelly fast and learn almost instantly from my trading mistakes.

Now that you know how i trade and a bit how i am as a person, have you got any tips for my XFA and rest of my career. Would mean the world for me if you have ny advice.

So I had my trade locked with my tp and sl set on the chart this morning. I only had 650$ to make to pass the combine and my tp was at 760$. I closed my cellphone to do my things and looked back at it 5-10min after. The price touched my tp, touched the sl but still ran through it and I lost my account to that. What do you guys think I should do.

Secure my 4th green day on my XFA with a lockout?? Sounds like a good idea!

I broke my rules and traded minis which probably won’t happen again

It actually has me up on the new account even though I tilted on Friday and cooked the account. Im so confused

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.

i’m just gonna go for $200 dollars for the next two days so i can get first payout! i have been using the lockout feature everyday

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 ?

I just wanted some Clarification from you guys. I’ve blown two combines already and am hoping the 3rd time is the charm.

If I do $1500 dollars tomorrow will I have successfully passed the combine.

Thanks again for all the advice on this Sub

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.

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.
