E2T, OneUp or TST?

You don't have to race to do it in one month. Say you took two months at $165 a month that is $330 so the same pretty much as Earn2Trade for most people. After two months I think almost everybody will either have reached their target if they are consistent or hit the max loss a long time ago whichever company they are with.
How is doing the test, then trading a demo account before going live, different to doing a TST Test 1 and Test 2 before going live?
I don't know about OneUp but that isn't correct for TST. (
https://help.futures.topstep.com/hc/en-us/articles/220389528-What-is-the-scaling-plan- )
Using the 50K example again one could be up to the full five
lots after making $2K in profit. Once $5K is reached one can negotiate increasing size and adjusting the
daily loss limit .
Regarding this sentence "The
Scaling Plan rule will be evaluated each day when the Trade Report is calculated. You will need to email the Funded Account Specialist to be able to trade the next tier." That is simply so that the automatic risk system can be updated. When a trader starts live the account begins with the minimum number of
contracts preset and remains on that figure until the trader asks for that figure to be raised to what ever the Scaling Plan allows them to trade. The system doesn't automatically raise their
contract limit at each Scaling Plan threshold as some traders will want to stay at a lower level if that is what they are comfortable with, and still have the security of knowing the risk system will prevent them adding contracts beyond their chosen amount.
On the first point, if you go to 2 months with TST then E2T is the better option since with TST you still have to make 6K (twice the target).
On the second point, TST requires one to pay for both stage 1 and stage 2, with OneUp you only pay for the first stage.

Yes, I was forgetting that.
And for the thread starter, another option not mentioned in the title is https://www.smbtraining.com/blog/futures-trading .

How did you even find these two? I've never heard of them before anywhere? They should give introductory webinars.

Website for Tradedock is not even responsive. FAQ section is not working at all. If they couldn't afford a working website then it's probably a scam. I tried to look into rules of the combine but wasn't able to find anything
