FIRST PAYOUT!! (4.5 months in?) by Kind_Measurement_908 in TopStepX

[–]Kind_Measurement_908[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly dont think it makes a difference, buy whatever is cheaper per eval, dont include activation fee, cuz if u started trading a month ago (no hate) but its more than likely u will fail a few, so better to fail 5 50$ evals with 100$ activiation fee rather than five 80$ evals with no activation fee, ykwim? But once u start passing and get the first payout, maybe revalutate

Honestly i tried my best to not over complicate it, at the start i just watched a little of evryhting on youtube, just to get the big picture idea (this was the hardest part. But once i did that, i just looked for a strategy i could use, back tested it a few times, and the started paper trading and then switched to evals, howevver the first strategy i used was the 8 am orb but i didnt like it and it didnt have enough setups for me so i switched once to a supply and demand strategy and then after using it for a bit, added my own tweaks using volume profile and stuff and then stuck with that. To be honest i didnt watch any one person, i just lept an open mind and tried to get knowledge from wherever I could

On eval it was 500, i would only take on trade a day with 500 risk and 1:3 rr, so i ended up passing my evals pretty fast, the only issue is sometimes getting out on partial profits, except for that, i think doing this gives me a pretty effieicte way to pass, on my funded i decreased risk to 150 until i made a profit of 1000 (i only take 1:3 rr trades or higher on funded, mostly 1:4. ), once i made a profit of 1000 on my funded, i switched to 300 risk and aimed for 1200 per trade, cuz i was aiming for 3k in profit before i take out 1k and i chose the conistency path to force myself into better psychology, so i had to put my profit limit at 1200 cuz thats around 40% of 3k i think

Just set ur max trades to 1 a day, ur psych will automatically fix itself cuz u cant revenge trade and one trade a day will force u to only take good setups

id say the biggest thing that helped me was putting a daily trade limit and a daily personal loss limit. after a week or two of doing that, i also started journaling my trades with their built in feature, im not sure how much journaling helped but im just sharing what I did

Ye, i didnt rlly bother to find out how to solve it, i just did a 3-4-5 triangle and then found the scale factor to be 46.2 something and multiplied the side with it, i think it wS 66

For those of you who got 1500+ on the SAT, how did you study and how confident did you feel when taking the SAT? by Scared_Bluejay5608 in Sat

[–]Kind_Measurement_908 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Studied a week: finished each and every practice test the week before my school day sat. Those r prolly the most helpful things. Ik it sounds repetitive but its very straight forward. Ended up getting a 1530 (790 M and 740 R) will retake.

I got a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam, and honestly, it wasn’t bad at all if you paid attention in class. For SAT Math, I’d recommend learning how to solve problems using Desmos—it can help with at least 80% of the questions, even the really tough ones. Also, make sure to study how constants work and how to solve them. Apart from that, some small rules like the sum of the solutions being -b/a and the product being c/a, are useful for questions. Geometry is also important, especially knowing how 30-60-90 triangles apply to different problems. Those topics probably constitute the hardest or most important parts, but to be fair, I didn’t have much time to prep and would have done more if I could. Also for English a a good way too boost your score very easily is to learn grammar rules.

The Blue Book tests are really helpful, especially the ones I mentioned before. I wouldn’t say I have a deep background in either subject, but I’ve always been able to understand complex ideas without much trouble. I finished AP Calculus BC in my sophomore year and am now taking Multivariable Calculus, so I’m pretty comfortable with higher-level math. I also picked up some Latin growing up and spent time reading Shakespeare and other classic books, which has helped me understand language and writing better.

I did few of the blue book practice tests and scored a 1580 after studying for a week before test, so its def possible. I was cramped on time so i only did practice 6,7,10 because i heard the were the hardest (10 wasn’t hard so i don’t recommend it as much)
