    Okay. In the meantime, post them charts with your entry and exit and maybe we can compare notes.

    I was fooled.
    Sometimes we are fooled by the markets.
    This time I was fooled by Padu.
    I thought Padu was sounding more coherent than from his prior posting history.

    I see now this is just another rambling incoherent thread about wishful thinking.

    Hopefully I'm fooled again, but I don't think so, Padu at his usual diarrhea.

    Are you aware that even when you are "funded" by a prop firm, you are paper trading (sim and not trading real money)?

    So why don't you just paper trade with a brokerage account? You don't need to pay a subscription to trade? And like me, you can be the best trader ever without making money. :D:D:D

    well i have not seen that but thankyou for the clarification/udate.
    glad that someone is actually reading this idiotic liar's posts. thank you
    also it makes sense to define a swing according to the daily range rather than an arbitrary point number.

    i can post charts with arrows when i post charts and also mention entry price when i post entry charts when i have time.

    since i am trading live and have the option only to open maximum of two ESMINI contracts, i have to concentrate more on entry, and so i do not want the distraction of posting live, when i am actually trading for real money.

    the mindset when you trade real money, which you can actually withdraw is, as every trader knows, totally different.
    the level of concentration and focus when trading live, is exponentially higher, and i have experienced a lot of second guessing, that i do when trading live.
    i have to learn to deal with it and normally identification of a problem usually offers a built in solution. The solution is often not liked and so we have to learn to do things we don't like

    since any position, which is opened, will have a drawdown/profit, as soon as it is opened, I usually add a contract during that inevitable drawdown and sometimes exit if i get a profit immediately. this exit is usually after one point as also the addition of a contract.

    So topstep has knowingly restricted my power to trade, as i am used to, since they allow 5 contracts during the evaluation phase.

    that said when the ES is swinging nicely, 2 contracts or even one contract is more than enough to make 2000-4000 usd in a trading session which includes Globex.

    yes expect that in a express funded account in TOpstep you can withdraw 100% of your profit up to 10000usd and 90% there after.
    i have qualified for an express funded account and will be trading for real usd when market opens. INSHALLA.
