The same way i had to reset 3x in step 2 not waiting for areas, fighting the clear direction trading before my optimal time, trading while not focused on trading.
Wouldn't it better to open real $800 account? Real money are much better way to enforce the discipline. Why to pay to someone just to find out your own strength and limitations.
I have a real account my main trading is done with options I'm learning futures. So for me topstep is actually cheaper as I said I spent around 800. I attempted 5 or 6 times 2 full price 3 resets and I got 1500 to trade. In one of my real accounts i lost $1k in 2 days after that loss i realized why am i trying to learn with my money when i have the ability to get tst money cheaper. If for some reason I find myself spending more than I would get in a funded account then it will be time to rethink my strategy but even then I seriously doubt I will spend over 1k on TST combines in a week. This is a much cheaper option for me until I can actually focus 100% on this Im still working a 9-5.
That's a lot. I would be you, I would sit on sim till convert $800 >> $20,000. Five times. All it's require - the internal honesty. And it's not require any funds payable to TST. How many trades you did in 2 days?
You can run a test account on C2, that is even cheaper. All the stats there and you can reset it when blown for a small amount. There, I have just saved money for you.
This is a very good idea, for anyone considering taking a Combine, generally: there's no point in paying TST for "experimentation" - it makes more sense to sign up for a Combine after already proving to yourself, once or twice, that you have a good chance of passing it. (The OP isn't in this category, though: he's already passed the Combine and FTP previously.)
