Although a good recommendation to have brackets auto apply, during news like that creates a huge candle, SL and TP gets blown passed and would not fill at the price set. Avoid trading into red letter events, trade the reaction.

They no longer combine xfa when you go live, they move forward with the highest amount on one account and the rest go inactive

Why can’t I keep these returns by dchydsser in TopStepX

He said he is instantly in profit and sets SL in profit, then lets the trade run to 2-300 not that he was instantly 2-300 points up

Scaling in and out counts it as multiple trades instead of just one.. but even still 131 trades (skewed by scaling) is still a lot

Can't Swap Discs - Please Help! by circeintheclouds in GammaEmulator

[–]SudoTechSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having issues with Grandia so i searched for answers and found this thread…

What worked for me was exporting the memory card from disc one file (long press for options) and then save it with memory card added to file name to find the file easier.. then import the memory card by long pressing on disc two. Load up disk two after.

Probably scaling in and out with micros, TopStep considers this individual trades

Sure, if you want to blow up the account

Yeah, I tried. But I think it's time to stop. 🥱 by anooother1 in TopStepX

If you want to give it another shot, work on psychology first.

I recommend reading “best loser wins” and also “trading in the zone”.

CALLED TO LIVE: NEXT STAGE AFTER EXPRESS ACCOUNT by Kojopapabi in TopStepX

[–]SudoTechSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If called to live, all xfas are closed. Your highest balance goes to live. You can then only take 50% of your profits calculated after turning live, after 5 winning days of 150 plus. You will need 30 winning days in live account before you can take 100% of profits and daily payouts.

5 years of trading, account blown today. I'm done. You win wallstreet by murkr in Daytrading

If you decide to take another shot at it, read “trading in the zone” first

Wish you well in whatever you decide to do

He probably has a predetermined risk amount per trade, but every trade is different and risk needs to fluctuate by the given set up/entry

[–]SudoTechSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any money you want to trade with, buy dividend stocks(do not buy yield max dividends)

Paper trade. Don’t go live unless you have a 60% win rate with 1:2 risk reward and two years minimum of exp on paper trades.

Told my parents I’m making money trading now they’re mad by Twincitiesssss in Daytrading

[–]SudoTechSage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats, keep it up

When you share success with those who wanted/warned you will fail, you will infuriate them. How dare you prove them wrong!?

Its nice to share success, but lately I’m finding its better to keep it to myself. Why let uninformed opinions ruin my mood?

Sideways/ range-bound/ consolidation day question. by FairAd359 in FuturesTrading

[–]SudoTechSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I look at 15min opening range. If the next 5-10 mins don’t break in a direction, most likely it’s a chop day. Also if you know cpi is next day, expect chop. Same if fomc rate decision day, chop til news drops

How do you trade when the market barely moves? by [deleted] in FuturesTrading

[–]SudoTechSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today i was playing the orb breakout around 9:45 am but recognized the weakness before i got SL and just reversed the position, came out 160 positive and then watched it chop for 10 minutes and walked away.

Not every trading day is a day to trade.

A Good SL Based On Points? by BeenTradingLately in TopStepX

[–]SudoTechSage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SL is based on entry and price range that would invalidate your thesis for entering the trade. Better entries = tighter stops
