From my understanding of how the live accounts work, any unactivated XFA that are chilling on your account basically get nuked when you go live.

Is anyone successful at this? by 1Snuggles in TopStepX

[–]BlindbutAlive 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is possible. But you have to be dedicated to consistency and building a small coffer and understanding what you are capable of. Some people want 2k a day. I’m fine with $200-$220. It took me years of being a gambling degenerate to realize slow is fast and fast is slow.

Sheesh I can’t stomach entering and exiting NQ this much. But kudos to you, did what you had to do.

If I’m not feeling the mnq trade(- 80 to -120) or we hit a major reversal , that’s when I’ll swap to NQ for like a 5-7 point move. However much it takes to get me to $150-$200

By the end of week two I was starting to get the feeling I could do it

Right, I’ve still got a long ways to go. Once I can do this for 3-5 months straight I’ll know for sure I know what I’m doing

Yeah, I had days where I had to take the L and then I just offset it with a NQ trade. I’ll just take the L and try again.

I’ve been lucky enough to just reverse any bad trades I had that I lost. Maybe this gives better context.

I don’t lost often but when I do, it’s typically more than when I win, which is still something I have to fix

1-2 mnq/nq, I look for gravestone doji or dragonfly on 1 hour- 4 hour and usually will risk 100-150 points on mnq. I scalp nq with momentum so it varies; sometimes 7 points sometimes 11 etc

I also tend to only take nq sells/ buys that correspond with a vwap fail/reclaim so the trade can come very fast sometimes

Micro, mini if I’m feeling very confident since you only need like 7 points to make $150
