Why are you subtracting your 7 day loss from your 13 day profits???? Your 7 day losses are out of your 20 days of trading!!! Not out of your 13 days of winning!!!!
hello, I have a question, I connected my Tradovate to trading view with topstep, when placing stop loss and take profit, is there a way for it to continue to show dollar amount for tp and sl once executed
So if you link the 3 accounts that means that your DD it's going to be 4500 x 3? And how does that even works like? With 1 of those you can use 15 contracts, but combined that it'd be 45? Im so confused. Also after you've made those five wining trading days in a row, in order to get paid, that means that on average you'd be receiving your money every week and half if we count business days right? Sorry this is all new to me.
This is amazing to see! When you put the math in this manner, it makes complete sense! Small victories is the key to success! Makes me rethink my strategy.
I see a lot of these types of videos. I am new to trading and have yet to get into the live market. What I am struggling with is finding all the expenses that go along with live trading. Data, platform, commissions and all the rest I probably don't know about. Could you do a video on that side of the house as well?
No. Win rate is the probability of your set up wining. For example, if you trade 10 times, lost 3 trades, and win 7 trades, then win-rate is 70%. Commission/fees eat into your profit and affect your RR.
Is Top Step good for beginners? I range between 50-60% are a little over 60% average on simulated forex trading...but im still new to the trading market...
it is hard to watch and l;earn about futures since their are so many fake trader on youtube. have only watched like 2 or 3 of ypur videos but you seem to be legit highly appreciate that
Nice video. Considering the numbers wouldn’t the the maximum 20 Apex accounts be a better way to go than the maximum 3 topstep accounts? On your numbers $44000 a month from Apex is a whole lot more than $6600 from Topstep🤔
Oh agreed. One PA at a time is enough for me lol… I was just extending the thought experiment that Cammy explored… 20 accounts, at my stage of development, would give me anxiety 😂
@@ed-0364 Apex offers a trade copying software as well. The problem with Apex, at least from what i hear, is that they slack on actually paying out. Like months behind in some cases..
Hey there, I have been trading for about 6 months now and just about every trade slaps me in my face. Nearly impossible for me to catch more than a few points . I try to do top down analysis and MTF analysis, but it doesn't work for me . I say to myself, clearly I'm in the 90% that lose money, so I open a demo account, do my analysis, then take the opposite of what I would normally take(I know, it sounds stupid but I was desperate) and get the same result. I'm starting to feel hopeless, any advice for a struggling trader?
Your problem could be that your stop loss is way too close or you're watching your trades too much. Place it and walk away. Or you could just give up, trading isn't for everyone.
Don't let them discourage you, don't give up. Trading takes years to master, even the pros learn everday. Never the less, if you lose money no matter which side you take, maybe you need to look at how you are managing active trades rather than how you are entering them, moving stops to BE may help. My advice, find a mentor . And also, try incorporating the use of oscillators or rsi into your strategy to make your entries better and prevent overtrading. And most importantly move to higher TFs(4h or 1D preferably), you'll thank me later .
You're right, I don't lose money every single trade, but my main problem is trying to let my runners run. Very rarely do I catch big moves . Instead they go a few pips in my direction, then go against me if when I try holding them. Also my entries could use a lot of improvement. A mentor would be amazing, but getting one is easier said than done. If it's not too much, does any come to mind?
I think the most important thing you should know is staying away from the lower TF. Also, it's important to keep an eye on the environment too, ie DXY if it isn't doing too well or is a bit choppy, chances are dollar denominated pairs are in for a ride too. In this case, it's probably better to get in and out of your positions quicker
Also, I understand how tough it is to find a mentor because most institutional traders do not take retail traders seriously. The best advise is to get a mentor who has a PAMM account so they trade for you while you learn.
There are prop firms that allow up to 20 accounts, so that $2,200 a month can become $44,000 a month, fancy car, and big house is possible per your example.
6600 - Fee&Commision -10% what the firm takes. you will be closer to 5500 and from that you pay Taxes. But the Math is very Realistic and can be done with a lot of work end expirience in the space.
In the U.S., after taxes, you have 4,125 per month. Pretty much poverty level in the U.S. Don't forget you have to leave cushion in the account and can't withdraw the full sum he's speaking about as well. I didn't realize it was so unprofitable to trade futures, or maybe it's just this guy's conservative nature , as he mentioned.
#1: great vid #2: you only keep 50% profit on the xfa and even after u get a live account u should still only be withdrawing around half to keep the account. #3: you definitely should risk more. Like $250-$500(5-10%) of ur account cuz that’ll allow for you to be able to lose a max of 10-20 days in a row and noooo one who is consistently profitable should ever lose more than like 5-6 days in a row. Especially with ur wr and r. I have a very similar wr and r as well
Great video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach?
Trading without professional guide... Huh I laugh you, because you will remain where you are or even make huge losses that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders
Mrs Sonia Dixon was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Sonia Dixon.
the first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Kimberly Smith.
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
when someone is straight forward and good at what she does best. People will always speak for them. For me I would say give Kimberly Smith of finance education a try and you be happy you did
Nice and all, but why do you risk that low?😂 No way you every blow that, you could even bump it up to being able to lose 15 times in a row. That would mean you make double what you currently make while still being extra save.
If you start with 4500 dollars your own money and make that 5.5% per day after 200 days of trading (asuming you take few month worth of vacation) you would end up with over 200 million of profits. even the first month vould be something like 9000 dollars profit. Realistic?
With a 66% win rate, you could easily tripple your risk and reward without fear of over drawing on your account. I think you are being a little too reserved. You are wasting capital.
Ah I'm back with an update and well I have good news and bad news... Good news, I'll basically pass the account tomorrow as i have 581 to pass and bad news I don't have the activation fee lol... Anybody got any ideas on making $149 in a week?

Hi Cam, what copy trader are you using with Topstep, tadeovate and Tradingview?
How do I get your 20% discount to work?
hey cammy, how do i get the discount to apply? doesnt seem to apply it at the checkout. thanks mate
Why are you subtracting your 7 day loss from your 13 day profits????
Your 7 day losses are out of your 20 days of trading!!! Not out of your 13 days of winning!!!!
Base hit after base hit pays the bills. The occasional grand slam will happen when the market cycle sets up. Good video Cam.
Thank you very well explain with out the extras to the point and fast...
Awesome Explanation !! Thank you sir 🙂
Can you make a video on how to get started with bookmap from first to finish and your favorite setting please. Great vid as well!
Great video Cammy - thanks for the breakdown 🤗
You have earned my sub. Thanks Brother. I also got set up using your "Switching From FOREX to FUTURES (Made Simple)" very valuable video.
Good insight bro 💪🏼
Nice breakdown. Can you cover swing trading with futures. The rules seem a little different from forex in futures. Is swing trading allowed?

Thank you for being an honest good fella. Much appreciated ❤
NZ time is opposite to US. So do sleep all day and wake up all night?
What about withdrawals Cammy
Won't that reduce the $4500 cushion to whatever amount is left in the account ?
Excellent explanation Cammy!
what would be your risk management for challenges ? I'm guessing it's different from he funded accounts .
I love this video man so simple I’ve been thinking about it all wrong 🤦🏽♂️
I am learning a lot from your videos Thank you. Could you make a video how you do copy trading,
Thanks
If you use a propfirm, how do they get their cut from your trading?

Can you make a video how to link three top step accounts using a copy trader?
What can you expect from taxes and fees with your example?
This is amazing to see! When you put the math in this manner, it makes complete sense! Small victories is the key to success! Makes me rethink my strategy.
link to your second channel?
hi can you make a video of how to merge two or three topstep combine accounts as one if thats possible or do you have to trade them separately?
great video fella ❤🍻
Do it support indian users? Nothing is mentioned about that on website neither able to connect with live chat
Very realistic approach, thank you.
they have an in-built copytrader?
love the practicality. A lovely change from the overhyped influencers. much appreciated conservative approaches
THis is awesome, thanks so much. Do you risk more than $150 during the combine though? That's where many are at
Thank you for a down to earth, simple approach!
Great Vid mate.
But with topstep you can only widthraw 50% of what you make though?
Yeah a breakdown of the profit split and stages of it would make this a lot more realistic…
Do you know if they will increase the amount of accounts you can have?
I have an account with one 50k account. Can you show how to link all the account together and still trade on tradingview?
this why you the goat cammy
Great video...! Thanks

HOW MANY CONTRACTS DO YOU TAKE TO RISK $150.
Thank you Cammy
I use 50 tick stop on YM Dow Jones and so risking $250 per trade. That is 18 losing trades. Is that ok?
Copytrading is everything!!!!
Thanks Cammy
Does the win rate reduce when you take into account commission and fees? When you risk $150, how much in fees and commissions will you pay?
No. Win rate is the probability of your set up wining. For example, if you trade 10 times, lost 3 trades, and win 7 trades, then win-rate is 70%. Commission/fees eat into your profit and affect your RR.

Apex trailing DD is trash. Not a big deal for people making 250 per Trade but for people that have higher daily targets apex is rubbish.
How many trades are you take per day on average? You video helped me a lot with calculating the win/loss percentage. Thank you good sir.
@5:10 minutes in is that off 450k funded in total then?
Well said sir.
Don’t forget profit split and taxes
Thanks mate.
What contracts do you use for the 150 risk? Mini or micros
Nice transparency
