Trying to get funded through Earn2Trade, I’ll let you know how it goes. If I get further through the steps, I might be able to answer some of your questions. One thing that sucks but isn’t E2T related, EUR / USD is currently 1.09 That’s a 8.3% cut Yeah, I am not there yet … Day #2 of the very first combine. I’ll keep you updated, As soon as I fail or pass the combine. Cheers EDIT 2 or 3 thoughts already… Their progression ladder is a joke, Almost the same for 50, 100, 200 and 400k Should be more linear based on a certain margin. There is no need to be flat around key economic events. They won’t limit the number of contracts per position to the maximum allowed.
How my setup looks like ... R Trader Pro DOM because I don't like NT's dynamic one NT charts because I don't like Rithmic's ones. Been trying hard to trade without charts for the last 3 months, It teaches about focusing on right there, right now, But charts make it way more easy. It's a pain to see the overall bias on a DOM, Keep all the levels in mind + not being caught in meaningless moves.
E2T is a good company. I hope you do well. What are you looking for on the DOM? Are you using a scalping technique?
Nice to hear E2T is a great company. Thanks for wishing me the best. Did you get funded through them ? DOM is mainly for execution. I like to see the depth for big orders, Got no edge from it but … It’s pleasant. I also watch it point by point to pinpoint execution. From a Price Action perspective.
No, I'm not a funded trader. I run my own account. But I follow most of them and have studied their policies. E2T is transparent. Their payout policy is straight forward - no waiting months for a payout like Apex. With Apex, the evaluation period may be 5 days, but then you have a 20 day waiting period before you can even ask for a partial payout. Activation fees are huge too. TopStep has so many convoluted rules you need to be Houdini to figure them out. Anyway, best of luck. Hope it works out for you.
Only ES. There is enough opportunities on a daily basis. Tried to trade ZN ZB UB but not my taste. Maybe if I had billions I’d spread my bets around the curve for liquidity reasons but it’s not the case. ES provides great liquidity, volume and volatility. Less distraction this way and more focused. What do you trade ?
“One common adage on this subject that is completely wrongheaded is: you can’t go broke taking profits. That’s precisely how many traders do go broke. While amateurs go broke by taking large losses, professionals go broke by taking small profits. The problem in a nutshell is that human nature does not operate to maximize gain but rather to maximize the chance of gain. The desire to maximize the number of winning trades (or minimize the number of losing trades) works against the trader. The success rate of trades is the least important performance statistic and may even be inversely related to performance.” – William Eckhardt Shout out to this guy. Summarized trading in a nutshell.
Template for E2T TCP 50 Points (PTS) is based on ES Advice for 400K is to leave 10K buffer into the account, Withdraw anything above so you can always trade full size. If open PnL dips below the threshold, While trading more contracts than allowed, Then it puts immediately the combine into failure. Some account have fixed drawdown (200, 400) Some account have trailing drawdown, (50, 100) Max Daily Loss per account: 050 -> 1,100 100 -> 2,200 200 -> 4,400 400 -> 8,800 Helios will take 20% per withdrawals or End of Month. E2T only business are the combines. They don't provide any capital. It's Helios. There might be some rewards though, But if and how much Helios give back to E2T is kept secret.
