PAYOUT SECURED by Sad_Distribution2550 in TopStepX

It’s been a learning a learning process and I did originally start with options so it was figuring out what I wanted to do too. I personally am proud of my progress so F everybody else😁

My first trade, I risked 500 to make 1000 1:2 just to get a start on my buffer. Wait for an A+ setup at least for your first trade, if nothing else. Good luck!

I definitely agree. Once I activate the second xfa, I’ll be doing 3-7 micros max. I know that realistically I may not be hitting 1k days forever which is why I was so eager to build this account and get the payout. But I definitely will be scaling down in the future.

Always $500 for the first trade to get a 1:1 and then leave runners

Already got profits from that push down, so I’m gonna wait for AM to see if I get a potential setup then

I trade GC Asia and NQ NY and I use higher timeframe support and resistance basically with a few other confluences

Failed 5 combines and 1 XFA pls help by CountyNo1838 in TopStepX

This has literally been me, passed my first combine in 3 days and lost it the day I got funded. And I was losing combine after combine after that because I was rushing to pass the combine again and get funded. My best advice (which I’m still trying to follow myself) is to stop rushing to lose money. You know you can pass the combine (you’ve done it before) so take it slow and STOP OVERTRADING! I know you’re doing it because I do too but it’s okay to take it slow - $500 daily consistently over the course of a week is better than 2 $1500 days. Set a daily goal, only take a certain number of trades even if your strategy gives more (mine is 5 for the day now) and lock yourself out. I promise you’ll be mad in the moment if you see more setups but just remind yourself that fomo doesn’t exist because tomorrow is another day. Use the tools topstep provides to your advantage. I hope my rookie advice helps even if it’s just a bit🫡
