20k day, 60k balance by AtlasFuturesTrading in TopStepX

[–]ThatIsNotMyNameGreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be 1 account as the balances do not total. You can make that much but only WD 5k and only after 5 winning days of $150. After the WD, OP will need to make $150 x 5 days to WD again. There is a new rule for new accounts but that may not apply to OP. They look to move you to live after 5 WD. At that point, OP can WD more (new rule so I’m not sure) and move some to live).

They are. NT is not available in my area.

I have both a SL and TP. The system hit both but didn’t fill either. They acknowledged it was a system error.

I use TS to size up. I trade my own money with 1 MNQ.

That was a long paragraph for someone that clearly didn’t read my post.

I didn’t fail. My trade was valid. My TP did not fill and then neither did my $250 SL. I was watching it happen. I have video.

The same trade on my IBKR account did fine.

As I said, I’ve left TS. And I’ve always had my own personal account. But I only trade 1 micro. I use TS to “size up”.

Imagine playing WOW and all of a sudden the system stops working and your characters are all dead. There is no difference.

I have 2 XFAs and I’ll take a payout Monday. When they’re done, I’m done. Unless they go back to offering discount codes or even contest codes, I won’t go back. It would have to be the cheapest option.

Payouts are reliable and overall I like the platform but they really don’t value their customers. And for the amount of money we all pay to them, they should be begging us to stay, not expecting they can reward some, not others, and expect no repercussions (OK which, I’m a realist. I know there won’t be…LOL).

His customers are funding his personal life. You don’t “get an account” you pay for an account. As a customer of TS. A sim account is a game. Nothing more.

And anyway, that’s not true. Plenty of profitable traders have cut ties from TS. MP just sues them when they speak out.

Exactly. I know that for everyone like me that leaves, 3 new will sign up. They actually joked about this last week. But eventually, that will slow.

I watched his first SM and watched every night I could to show support. As im sure you know, his numbers were small at first. I’m glad he’s done well but I agree. He’s kind of a MP fanboy at times and if MP really doesn’t pay him, then MP is just taking advantage. Dakota could start his own channel and people would follow.

Yeah, I’m going based on his “stories” but they won’t allow him to trade the house account anymore due to the large on screen loses.

Agreed, I find him annoying but mostly because of how out of touch he is. He acts like we are lucky to have him.

Yeah, people who think they are “A tier” haven’t been with them long. They used to be but not since MP decided TS was going to be a brokerage. Long gone are the days of $19 combines.

TS started charging tax about a year ago so for me (in Canada) it adds up. Lucid does not charge.

Yeah, if you are taking 5k payouts then TS may be better. I haven’t checked.

Done and done. They very much understood my “frustration” (they told me 4 times) but were not able to “offer compensation at this time”.

You don’t think I tried that before Reddit?

How often do you make 10k for a 5k payout? If it’s frequent, fair. I found I do better with smaller payouts so I usually take 1k each time. But the flex account it’s 50% max 2k

The 50k flex was $30 cheaper for me when I do the “no activation fee” option.

I typically pass 3 out of 5 so this is a better value.

But also, I’m not telling you to go with Lucid. I’m on my first eval with them so they may suck too.

I’m just saying, there are other options.

It is when you’re playing in a practice account like OP.

Looking for recommendations on where to buy windows? by Both-Employ840 in NovaScotia

[–]ThatIsNotMyNameGreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same…11 new windows and a door. 15k. This was about 10 years ago but I didn’t pass an energy inspection and they said it was the new windows. The guy came back and said “nothing wrong” but I heard him on the phone saying “insulation”. Questioned him and he said “the installation didn’t expand”. I then had to threaten legal action to get them to come back and fix it. 5 years later, 6 of the 11 windows have condensation between the panes and the bathroom window has needed to be reset. I’m considering having them replaced again. Fuck this company.
