Challenge of Weekly Profit trading Futures

    If you're a profitable futures trader, why are you wasting time trading SIM for this challenge?

    Also, if you're a profitable trader, I don't understand how you didn't come across NQ already. I imagine every single futures trader has gone through all the different instruments trying to find one that is suited for them. Some like the volatility of CL, some like the liquidity of ES. Many traders even could not trade without knowing what all the other instruments are doing as they are their their respective instrument. It just doesn't make sense to me that you only now looked at NQ.

    Lastly, you've had this account for almost 2 years, not saying a word, and your very first post is to challenge anyone to a competition? Once again, most profitable traders have been humbled by the market. I don't see this in your initial post and hence question your authenticity.

  2. Like I said I'm already a funded TopstepTrader, and this SIM is my 2nd combine that i'm full-filling for the funded trader so i can trade 2 accounts.

    I have been trading since 2013 and blown out over $100k my hard earned money in several years of learning as though currently im making money for last 1 year and so.. My account was created couple years back to just to check what traders talk about etc.

    I was doing good with CL but overal my winning was not my happy side.
    then moved to ES did very good and never looked back,

    About NQ

    whenever you google about NQ etc its always negative like no volume etc etc, but my main turn off was the $5 per tick as i was looking for $10 per tick instrument so that reason i have never back-tested my strategy on NQ.

    Recently when El Cinco was posting big results with NQ that caught my attention and i looked and back-tested as well did my tick dollar value etc and saw the moves so i started trading today and so far it works great.. lets see what future brings..
