Damn ... Stupid me. Had 4k now I am down to 1500. Sold @ 2/5 of the first leg up. Could have gone out 1/2 retrace -> -500$ Went for +1 tick that never happened. Out at 5/5 -2500$ ... Stupid me. Now trying to short at 2610 Target 2550 Edit: looks like 2595 was the top Lessons are to be learned. The hard way.
From 2530. Third leg up. Seller @ 2610 However we have to be flat for the halt. 1 hours and 22 min to go EDIT: Missed the short again by 20Pts.
I am out. I kept selling the late upside on Friday. I either go back to step 2 or I open a small account and trade micros. Worst part is as per plan I should have been a buyer on Friday. Anyway ...
Sure. It’s only 350 bucks. But risk parameters are not designed for current market conditions. It’s still doable. Might give it another try. Because my savings are in crypto, It’s not the moment to cash out ... So I better give them another 350$, Try my best to get at least 10K out of it. I’d be happy to trade micros and be able to hold overnight. Just ride these wild swings properly. Got a running AMP Global account, Just need to fund it. But ... Would be great to fund it with TST free money. So I’ll be back to step 2 soon.
They do offer micros, But it's a separate combine. https://www.topsteptrader.com/micros-futures-overview/ However it's kind of ridiculous. Because the parameters are micros too. So you can't swing the market. Just earn micros. Let's take max DD and talk (M)ES: Micro: 1000 max DD is 800 MES ticks 150K: 4500 max DD is 360 ES ticks Anyway ... They should allow the trader to switch between micros and minis
