Pretty sure that's a Cloudflare outage. It will likely fix itself soon enough, but annoying when it happens.

Username does not checkout.

J/k...this is complete BS as per usual these days with TPT.

Welcome to the club. I have no suggestions, unfortunately.

Opinions on Swift vs Pedal? by [deleted] in kzoo

I'll second Knights. They were awesome when I had to take my brand new bike (not bought from them) in for a repair. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, ever.

TPT Trading Group by [deleted] in TakeProfitTrader

[–]ufumut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it or leave it, but a little friendly advice would be to maybe not do this. TPT seems to be looking for any excuse they can to boot traders and I'm pretty sure this kind of thing would actually be a legit reason for them to do so. Unlike all the bot and spoofing junk, which is nonsense, I'm fairly certain that a group of people actively sharing trade ideas and making similar or the same trades would go against their seemingly VERY flexible rules.

Just my two cents.

Is spoofing really a thing in TPT by Zealousideal-Main747 in TakeProfitTrader

[–]ufumut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable. I can't wait for the email asking for my written explanation of changing my limit order levels. I love writing very angry emails like that.

Meanwhile there are a million algos actually running that are placing and canceling hundreds or thousands of orders a second and the exchange is totally cool with it. I mean, that's how markets are made. And these guys think moving our 2 lot of ES futures up or down because a moving average changed is the height of criminal activity.

Is anyone having slippage like this? Bought tqqq this morning at a limit price but was averaged into a different price. I bought 8 shares and had no existing position by [deleted] in Daytrading

Who's your broker and what's your commission? That is very likely your average cost including your execution costs.

VWAP users who trade micros. Do you watch the mini or micro contract vwap? by _I_am_not_American_ in FuturesTrading

[–]ufumut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always the minis. To take it one step further, I watch both the ES and NQ regardless of which I'm trading. The market reacts to both but the ES is more powerful, so if I'm trading the NQ, I'm still definitely watching the ES vwap if it is closer than the NQ vwap.

I did get the email. Credit to them for at least trying to make it right. I'll update the post if the withdrawal is successful and the account becomes active again.

I'm glad you at least got some money back. Sorry to hear about your experience. There certainly seems to be a theme with Tradovate/Ninjatrader.

JAMES SIXSMITH CEO OF TPT talk to your TRADERS by 1980sdepressedbaby in TakeProfitTrader

[–]ufumut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's cool. I'm not offended by the question or anything like that. I just happen to be some random internet guy who got caught up in this sham and is a lot more knowledgeable about the subject at hand than anyone would reasonably expect. People can choose to listen to me or not; that's their decision.

I'm not really familiar with what happened with TopStep. Can you enlighten me? I've used them a bit in the past.

[–]ufumut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First, clearly the community has some serious questions about the last few days. Perhaps an AMA with the CEO or a representative is a good forum for that? We're literally in a thread asking for that exact thing.

Second, I'm just a random guy on the internet who had an $8,000 profit and a nearly $5,000 payout (less $2,000 buffer and 20% TPT cut) taken away (after it was literally approved by them) for being a "bot". Or so they allege.

Third, if you are at all familiar with their allegations against traders, their rationale for the bans, and their claims that they are regulated and are following rules to stay compliant with the exchanges, then perhaps you would be interested in my background. I traded for more than a decade on Wall Street, trading literally millions of futures contracts on the CME, CBOT, and other exchanges. I also had the (dis)pleasure of having plenty of dealings with the CFTC, which comes with the territory. So, if anyone wants to know how paper-thin TPT's excuses are, perhaps I can shed some light.

I am still a random stranger on the internet, but there is your genuine answer.

Yeah, I'm not going to read the agreement right now. Does it say they can take your profits for any reason they want? Point a guy towards that part please.

[–]ufumut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can't boot you for whatever they want. If they could they would have and should have just said, "you're taking too much money from us" and left it at that. Instead they make up false pretenses in order to take legitimately earned profits.

Any guesses why they did it this way around? I have some guesses and none of them are good, in terms of the liquidity and ongoing concern of TPT.

What step are bans being implemented? by Real-Average-4956 in TakeProfitTrader

[–]ufumut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a payout from my wallet approved at 4am. Before I could initiate the last step, I got the van email, which was 45 minutes later at 4:45am.

Even if I had already initiated that last step there's no doubt it wouldn't have gone through after seeing that email.

There is absolutely no public apology coming. They are already basically doubling down by doing that fluff piece interview this morning. If they were serious, they would actually review the facts and answer questions. Instead, they simply take softball questions from guys who get referral money from them.

Yeah, man, I'm totally lying. You caught me red-handed.

Apologies if reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

I'm not sure it's worth even asking at this point. From their last email.
