My attempt to earn a funded account with TopStep

  1. You may not understand the rules fully TST is a valid company if you can make it through the rules but the trailing draw down(although one of the best currently its a daily not a live is still a barrier) anything above the 30k dont forget you also have a weekly loss limit, the scaling plan is what your actually getting so if your trading more than the lowest scale consistently in step 1 your probably not going to be funded especially in the higher profit target combines.

    The 50% is steep also I didnt see a portion that is 100% yours but it looks like its only 1 step and no scaling plan

  2. Thank you everyone for both your supportive comments and cautionary recommendations.

    I will continue to journal my journey with the TST "funded trader" process and in the process, I hope that traders might get some extra inspiration and possibly some useful information for their own trading journey.

    Good luck!

    Have you quantified your profit ratio? It looks like a random walk...
    With your skills you can make much more money at a mega corp

    Has anyone actually went to SMB's webinar? I did! Firstly, a client must purchase their training program in order to be funded. They have embellish their website to only "hook line and sink" an individual. I do not know if they have changed their under hand tactics in the previous months but that is what I have gathered from them.

    There is very little money to be made with prop trading due to hft. The firm is evolving to become an educator
