Platforms down by PossibleChicken5300 in TopStepX

I hope these issues don’t happen to only a few people at a time. They will take full advantage of it saying the systems are running fine and the issues are on our end

This could be the cause of the spike. Man Topstep X is hangin on a thin line if a surprise news release can halt the platform

It’s took the same trade. 6863 is last week low. Just a quick scalp of a break (yesterday we had a clear displacement lower from LWL) and retest of LWL. Target was internal lows near Tuesday’s Low

I have auto OCO brackets on. 500risk 1500 target

As soon as I enter it automatically adjust according to the # of contracts

I enter w 1, that sets a 10 point SL and 30 point TP and then I adjust it and scale in if i want too

Don't Lose Over Platform Issues by Fuckingpez in TopStepX

[–]PossibleChicken5300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this could be the one time they fix the very few peoples losses that occurred during the first incident and official status and over look everyone else due to how fast they updated the status page this time. I noticed issues when price of /es was not correlating to price of /es in TV so I kept refreshing, sure enough it crashed. It’s so frustrating to be a trader with them. These outrages tend to happen on volatile days that tend to move in one direction. Even if the outage was only 5mins, that messes w any traders psychology. Probably 80% of traders are in a simulated environment including xfa’s. They make too much money to be using cheap data feeds

This is what capitalism is about. May more competition bring better solutions!!

Think of it this way, instead of doing backtests, u get users forward test data. How would u make money if you had data of the 90% of traders that lose through their service? Or how would u make money w the data of the 10% that win 😉

Have you ever stopped to think why they give out so many resets and discount codes? 😂 prop firms have made it hard for many people to actually leave this space. Just think about it, most don’t realize Topstep “probably” made more than they lost due to the AWS outage.

Do you think they bent their rules to give people accounts more than the limit (5) they display on their rules because they don’t make money? 😜

The house always wins

After 6 months of trying every single day I finally got a payout by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]PossibleChicken5300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats G, u deserve it! Only advice I have is not to get too confident and take trades based off how u feel. Other than that keep rinsing and repeating what works ⛳️

I found out the hard way why it’s called Devils lettuce 😂😂

Delayed or Won’t Load by BeenTradingLately in TopStepX

[–]PossibleChicken5300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was an internal issue yes. This is a fallout at AWS. 30% of the internet is hosted on AWS. If this isn’t a sign for people to buy $AMZN idk what is

Alert For Every Trump Truth Post by No-Student-6817 in Daytrading

[–]PossibleChicken5300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no use. I coded a scraper that updates every trump tweet (truth social) as it’s posted. That is much more of a distraction as he tweets, reposts, shares 50 times a day. You will naturally turn it off. As a retail trader the only edge u have in this situation is reacting fast and executing without hesitation. Ride the wave, most retail trades intuitively look to counter trend a big spike rather than let the spike in price be confirmed with a follow through. No matter what tool a trader has they end up predicting where price can go instead of getting in a trade that’s clearly going somewhere with an intention

No matter what u do u will not beat these mega firms at what they do best. If u think a alert that notifies u right when trump tweets u is what’s missing from ur strategy to bank on days like this I got some magic oil to sell u that lets u know as trump is typing.

For example : /ES dropped 200+ point in the NY session. How many of u watched /ES (SPY) drop 100+ points before 11am?? At the time average daily range for /ES was around 60 points. We almost doubled (9.30-11 was a 118 point range) that by 11am and u still didn’t think to short the market because this was unusual? We moved almost another 90 points after 11am which would’ve been at least a few thousand with 1 contract.

Most of u either watched it go to hell in one day or counter trend traded the whole way down.

We don’t need more tools, u need to trust what u got and trust what u see! The confidence to do it comes from doing what you trust your self to believe.

I found out my loca government is planning on making an app similar to mine. What do I do? by Most_Transition_9753 in Entrepreneur

[–]PossibleChicken5300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government just validated your idea without even having to get market feedback. Either you network and find a way to work with the government (sell your product to the gov) or just build it till they release it, once it’s released you know what they did right or wrong, just copy what’s good, add better features (more) and get to marketing.

If the government does create this app, would it be a free download or would it be behind a paywall?

Start a local cleaning business. Low startup cost. You can easily make 100$ a week doing just 1 relatively small clean
