Yessir You are absolutely right, I got distracted along the way and stopped doing what was working. Impatience and fear took over before I had the chance to manage the account rationally.
You trade GC that’s why you’re losing. And you probably don’t trade New York Session. Better move to NQ or ES. I make $500-$1k a day off 2-4 days a trade then I lock my account. I’m funded with the 150k and plan on going Live soon. Not taking any payouts til I’m around $8k-$10k.
First and foremost congrats! Keep up the good work brother, yeah it’s true trading gold & trading in a consolidating London session has impacted me negatively. It worked for me at a time but not anymore so I am changing that
@@TheImbalanceTrader Thank you! And yeah brother here is a tip split your TopStepX window and have ES on the left and NQ on the right. Make sure they’re linked. Have TradingView up to watch SPY (S&P500) stock. NQ follows SPY. ES is identical to SPY. Use Spy as a confirmation for entries and exits to scalp. My confirmations are only based off SPY
@@FuturesTraderChris94 They already hit me up and told me they’re looking forward I reach that milestone. I already took $7k in payouts before my gf blew my account triggering one of my hotkeys while trying to distract me at my desk. This was after I took two payouts and NQ dropped like 200 pts and my account got blown. But this week was very profitable for me trading $SPY. I’m an options trader so I make the same scalping 3 day ITM contracts. I’ll give TopStep a try again. But, I like being able to have more control of my money.
Yeah bro there was a little bit of overconfidence there. At one point I was up $200+ but for whatever reasons I kept taking additional trades and going full tilt 🤦🏾♂️ definitely planning on doing better on the next one 👊🏾
bro your account was still a baby you should NOT take a payout for at lease 10 days and build the account 3-5 k balance before you take a payout

Will do!! Thanks for the tip 🙏🏾
You don't plan on going live. Topstep risk managers will make that call.

Yea brother if I lose 1-2 trades in one day I stop trading I don’t force anything after that looks like you just kept trading
