Channel break. Now I am looking for my 2nd entry signal short. Anticipating it to be somewhere between 49.90 and 50.10.

Crude (CL)

1st entry long failed so unable to take the 2nd entry short trade setup on channel break. I missed the failure entry being away from computer.

Looking for next trade setup.

A 2nd entry short occured however I passed up the entry because on my tick chart I had a green bar (doji) and it is to close to the open. Price did reach my T1 target but appears to be reversing now at open.

I have to go take my wife to work so I am going to call it a day and get to the gym early. Have a great trading day all!

I just received an email from Scouting at TopStep Trader saying that the equity partner is prepared to provide me with a funded account pending my performance in Live Trader Preparation. They allowed me to choose the start date for the Live Trader Preparation. I selected next Tuesday, February 17th because of the holiday on Monday.

It makes us only stronger

I hope when its time I don't need to go through LTP.
I can trade 5 lot but I desided that position size is 1 lot
and I dont add to the position even if daily profits are above + 500

That are your LTP rules ?

No you follow the funded trader scaling plan for the size Combine you were in. Here is the link for you to look at how it works:

ahaa

TST will put me through LTP because I have not scaled in COMBINE

By scaling plan I shoud use 5 lot today but my stop is apporx 20 ticks
One trade and I blow up daily loss limit.

there is no "should" in position size with tst.
there is only a "can" - and @TopstepTrader themselves said repeatedly that they like when people don't leverage up as big as possible.

And from what I can read elsewhere on futures.io (formerly BMT), Live trader prep is more or less mandatory, no matter how you traded your combine.

Just my 2c obviously

Missed early entries Long on the move up. Hesitated on entering Long. So I jumped in early on this 1st entry short. Easily good have taken +16 on this one. While doing everything for this journal entry I missed the 2nd entry short. No problems more setups will come.
