Frankly, would love to see you start a thread doing the same thing, but using the micros live

However, if that isn’t an option then I’d vote to start a new thread
Good luck

I am not going with micros, in my opinion some of the funding companies offer better value than going with micros.
50 ES points DD with OneUP vs 30 ES points DD with micros.

I might change my mind after this attempt, but probably not. I still have a lot of confidence in my system and i know my results should be similar to the results of the second Gauntlet.

The only major downside with OneUp is the trailing draw down on open equity. If TraderDock would have offered any other platforms than TT, they would be my first choice.

with OneUp, CME fee is absorbed by the firm; with traderdock, traders have to pay upfront

Yes, however i wouldn't mind paying my own CME fee in exchange for a non trailing draw down .

If nothing changes between now and Monday i will probably do another attempt to get a funded account.
However this time probably with OneUp, not Earn2Trade.

I did a lot of comparison between all the companies out there and with the discounts included i decided to go for OneUp.

Should i start a new thread or ask a moderator to change the title of this thread to something like: "My attempt at a funded account", so i can keep posting here without having to start a new thread?

My vote is to start a new thread.

Omg thanks for letting me know I am so disappointed if it is true they do not (almost) offer the 20% DD anymore your performance was superb I wish they could up it to at least 15%, and pending review of your SIM time, go up to 20% if you again perform as well.

I've been really tired and busy here after main computer broke down (I lost all my indicators and cant get any of those anymore since they were really unique) I've been manually charting on all my timeframes... and it keeps me occupied so I only have time to drop by on weekends to check your thread

ps: GL with oneup. I am thinking if I do get funded with e2t the best thing to do is make as much in first few months and then go solo fast with discount brokers like AMP since they only ask $40 margin to daytrade 1 MES (micro ES) lmao.

The offer depends on the performance, i am currently leaning towards OneUp for my next account.

The main reason i am probably not going with E2T this time is the 60 days and they said they almost never give 20% DD anymore, not even with an amazing performance like my previous Gauntlet.

There is an interesting post here about OneUp:

Nothing special really, with some other companies you have to survive the draw down limit 3 times before you can take out any profit. You can also get up to 50% of the withdrawal threshold in you close the account, depending on how long you had the funded account. After the withdrawal threshold you do get $8K 100% and 80% split after that, so i don't see the problem?

Maybe i miss something as that's not what i understand from this paragraph:

The withdrawal threshold is a one time thing. It means you can not withdrawal below it. So if you have a withdraw threshold of $3K you can only withdraw the profit you make above this threshold.

Anything above it is yours to withdraw, first $8K is 100% and there after 80%, unless of course you go for the 50% split.

If you close the account you can get up to 50% of the withdrawal threshold depending on the time you had the funded account.
