Hi everyone. Thanks for everyone who has been reading my trading journal. As I stated previously, rather than taking a 3000 USD account live, I will take a OneUp trading combine trial and if I pass that, I will take a 25K combine and finally be funded. with MES Capital. I just had a look at their rules and I can definitely make it happen and record my journey along the way. The fact that you can use Ninja Trader 8 to trade in the trial combine, is awesome, because as far as I know with TopStep you can not and they provide you with a web based platform instead.
Its a 100,000 account, but we will treat it like a 25k and do the rules and everything along the way.
I think with my trading style, I can easily do the challenge and pass it on the first go. I will start the challenge on Monday and start posting charts and trade my usual system, of 2 contracts, where I take 1C off at 8 ticks, go breakeven and trail the other contract for another 8 ticks. Thank you to the starters of this awesome website. I have decided that if I can pass OneUp and get funded, I will reveal to everyone my system and how I take trades, with which trading partners and basically reveal everything, if anyone wants to know, simply read the details after the combine is finished. Thanks again and happy trading week ahead

Hi guys, just want to share my trading results and how the trading went down today. I am basing this trading challenge on the 50,000 rules and adhere to all stops and daily loss limits, Oneup Trader. Here are the results for the day, I trade ES and Nq only and sometimes will take a trade in crude oil.
The way I manage the trades is usually, I take 1 contract off at 8 ticks, stop gets moved to breakeven and then we try and get hit for the second 8 ticks on the runner. Sometimes due to market volatility, I will manually adjust those targets and also get out of the trade, if there is a material change in the market. Sometimes, well, for a big portion of the trades, I will set 2 contracts to 8 ticks and once that is hit, the trade closed.
The goal for the trading combine with ONeup is
Max 6 Contracts
$3,000 Profit Target
$2,500 Max Drawdown
$1,250 Daily Loss Limit
I attach my trades for today, and current account status is $50,210
Day 1: +210 added to the trading total.
I will attempt to make it a bigger return tomorrow, as today trading was a bit slow and I did not see that many opportunities, had to sit on hands for a large portion of the trading morning today
Happy trading everyone and happy trading week ahead

Hi everyone. Just want to do an update on the combine challenge and write down my trades.
Was pretty good day today and Apart from smaller candles, there were few opportunities in the market for us to profit and make our goal and plus for the day.
Here are the stats for the challenge so far:
Total number of trades taken 18
Winning trades:15
Loosing trades, 3.
Winning percentage is 83.5% and I want it to be around 90%, as the only reason its getting lower is because I manually close some trades wich results in a break even trade or sometimes a small loss.
For today I took 5 trades, and posting the resulting screenshot of the actual trades.
I think today, I managed the trades really well, taken bigger targets, trailed and overall managed to make double the usuall daily goal
Current running total on the account is :25,445 and +445 has been added over two trading days. Averaging 200 per day. Thank everyone and see you all tomorrow. Happy trading week ahead.

HI guys
Just want to do an update on the 25K combine results and how its going.
I did not do any trading yesterday, due to my internet not being online. Something happened. and I did not have internet pretty much most f the day. The technicians came out around 6 pm. I told them I had to have internet, as you do. The got it done, but as a result, I was not around during the trading session.
Today I had the best day so far, and we are up +$400 on the day.
Capital we are now trading with is $25,845
Market provided really good opportunities and did not have to manually manage a lot, just a few trades. Still considered scalp trading, but to me, we are still following all the rules and hopefully I do not blow the account and not finish the challenge. Here are the resulting trades for today. Happy trading everyone and happy week ahead.

HI everyone
Just want to share how my final trading day went. It was a great day again today. I managed to make more than double my usual goal again for the day. Market movements was smallish, lots of retracements, but overall, enough movement to take something out of the markets. Here are my trade recaps and screenshots. Today we made a total of $310.
Starting capital, $25,000
Capital after 4 trading days is $26, 115
I think we have 15 trading days to complete the 3,000 profit margin, and stay consistent, but can take 30 calendar days to reach our goal, or longer, if we extend the plan we are trading on and are still actively trading.
