Thank you so much for the video's and updates. Looks like you are well on your way to your goal. I like watching your order flow video's. Is this something you learned yourself? or something you where taught. You seem to have a good "feel" for your entries and exits.

Best of luck

Excellent job so far! You'll finish your combine very soon!!

One thing you mentioned earlier is that you want to wait until you get your funded account and then begin trading FDAX. You might want to double check the rules - I believe you are only permitted to trade on instruments which you were profitable during your combine. So if you don't trade FDAX during combine (or if you have a net loss), then you won't be permitted to trade it on your funded account.

I have never done a combine or gotten funded, so definitely confirm this for yourself. But I think I remember reading that when I looked into them.

Good luck!!!

I don't think this can be right, because there are now open references on TST's website to funded account holders being able to trade even things that aren't available at all during Combines.

I think it may have been true a while ago, but no longer.

(Also, note that further rule changes for their procedures are about to be announced, this month.)

No, this has been changed.

@bobwest @Tymbeline @emini2000 Thanks for your inquires and discussion, the answers to your questions are as follows:

1.) Previously in Funded Trader Preparation you were required to only trade the Trading Combine products you were profitable in. We have removed this rule and you may now trade any permitted products.

2.) Thank you for the feedback. We have removed some items for the benefit of our traders, such as the above, without explicitly notifying our community yet. We have been reviewing all of our rules and requirements ans we will be making a formal announcement of all changes in early 2017 - Stay tuned!

Hope that helps. Trade well!



Bob.

I just noticed that the post I quoted above only referred to Funded Trader Preparation, not explicitly to the Funded Account itself.

But I have an email from TST that does mention both:

Hi Robert,

Thank you for contacting us!

I'm sorry for the confusion. We recently removed the rule that you could only trade products in the FTP and Funded Account that you were previously profitable in. This is no longer a rule for TopstepTrader users so you are able to trade any of our permitted products.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Best,
Kevin

Bob.

Thanks for the clarification, Bob... it had been a while since I looked into TST, so not surprised that policy has been changed.
