My mates and I get a big kick out of reading your articles (we are in a London prop shop). How about “trade with real money” for practice? We are guessing you do not.
@Simon I have only been trading a small account but will mostly be trading in my OneUp and TST accounts as I work on current goal. If you go back to my article, “If you’re a discretionary futures trader do not do this..” you can see my real money results since period of my TopStepTrader try out documented. I am currently trying out for OneUpTrader account, as well, which is my current goal. Thanks. Yes, I’ve placed 100’s of real money trades, for what its worth, in the last month. In 2011, my two futures systems (one discretionary and other programmed) were consistently featured in the top 10 systems at Collective2 before I took them offline. The systems were at or near all time highs, and yes several subscribers took profitable real money trades.
So you have been trading live since 2011, yet still have only a small account? Seems like bollocks to us. OneUp and TST are pipe dreams, mate. Funding falling like rain from the sky let’s all take a drink
@Simon I agree sometimes it feels like it. I actually started predicting the market in 2006. I am only taking the TST because I got a free pass. But, I payed for the OneUp because I feel like I can hit the goals and it is not easy for me to come up with 5k risk capital, although it sounds like it should be.
