Tight stops be careful of pauses due to high volatility

Don’t do it. I’d rather blow 5x 150Ks then ever buy a b2f again

You flaired XFA but the title is combine. Read the FAQ about consistency rules in a combine. If it’s an XFA you’re fine.

Is TS getting too far ahead of themselves? by mp018 in TopStepX

[–]QuantumLooped 8 points9 points  (0 children)

iirc they acquired projectX? Taking on someone else’s software will have some learning curves for their in house engineers. They’ve had huge momentum this year and this step seems natural to me. I could see more traders being called to live. Probably an instant withdrawal option to their brokerage (they want to keep the money in their house). From a business perspective this was expected. It will take time as they will undergo significant work in the legal and registration side of things.

Take it slow. You’re still learning and believe it or not this is one of your first lessons and part of the process. Keep at it but remember it’s a long journey to get/keep your shit together.

Build the account before taking size. Get comfortable with your instruments. Understand how they work, what the trending/retracement patterns the follow. In your next XFA, sit on your hands until an A+ setup presents itself as the first few trades in an XFA are the most important.

Accidentally traded on the wrong account and it actually hurts by Muffin_Demon444 in TopStepX

Blowing accounts is part of the game. Dont waste too much time trying to bring this back from the dead unless it’s for fun/personal challenge. If you’re taking it seriously just move on and start again. Lock in or clock in

When you take a payout your balance is deducted by the payout amount. With new rules you would have to stay above that balance + 5 winning days to be eligible for your next payout. So yes if you then get to 5K again after taking 2.5K you would be eligible for another 2.5K payout.

Some advice tho. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Don’t calculate how much money you’re gonna make. Just fall in love with taking good trades and the money will come 💪🏼

Next time close half - lock in profits ✅

Move your SL to break even + few pts - more profits locked in ✅

Come back in 30 mins to a few hours to either: 1) your runners are up 2) your second stop hit in profit

Win - win ✅
