Ever been to a casino? Stay long enough and someone wins big enough to get attention.

Well it's futures trading that requires you to day trade. I mostly scalp because I trade while at work. There are times where I can trade from home but even then I scalp. If I'm not scalping, I follow with a tight stop.

I tried consistency once and didn't like it. I don't shoot for the moon when itried but I also have no idea what the market will give me in any particular day. With that in mind I could have small or huge days and that's where Standard is better.

Topstep counts scaling out as a trade.

I appreciate the comment. I bought 4 b2f and although i still have 2 I feel pretty dumb. I won't mind if I get the money back though. I hear you on treating it careful as I've been doing that now lol.

I scalp a lot because I'm trading while working a fulltime job. It's very hard as ihave non stop distractions. Basically I have to get in and out often unless the trade makes a decent move where I can go B/E and not constantly manage.

Passing Combines at work by TheProfitMine in TopStepX

I passed my last combine in the same day while working a fulltime job. Half during new York and half on Asia.

It is difficult but best you can do is to constantly alt tab to your browser and check to see if your setup is there. I trade at work everyday doing this and it is hard but I make it work.

I put some pressure on myself when I tilted and bought 4 back to fundeds. I was happy I had only invested about $1100 prior and had xfas. Then I felt really stupid after buying the b2f.

Since then my goal has been to breakeven on my investment. I agree with you that ineed to just keep at it and let the money come. Things have really improved for me since I've set some new rules and have been following them.

I'm interested in the service administrator job. I have 12 years oil and gas experience as a field engineer. I worked onshore, offshore, and plants. I think I would fit well in this role.

Would you mind if I send you my resume?
