I looked at them recently (TopStepTrader's the name btw), but when you look at their trading limitations and minimum performance, it seems that...
I was merely illustrating how commonly-used leverage levels were already pretty risky in the unlikely but not impossible event of forced...
Exposure to force majeure risk. Everybody would use high leverage if it was as easy as setting and forgetting a stoploss order. :cool: Quick...
That goes for most "courses" and "coaching" I've seen as well; if you can't do it, teach it. :p The only book exception that comes to my mind is...
Yikes, I considered getting up for the London open in my Forex days; too early for me. I think I'd rather switch to a longer timeframe than get...
Just to clarify: me neither. :) I was just adressing Pigsky's notion of starting capital: if you define "starting" as all-or-nothing (which is...
Am I the only one who sees that as a positive? I'd much rather learn market behavior itself (i.e. Wyckoff, Andrews) which is somewhat timeless...
My $0.02, if the guy's clearly not coming around, why not click "Ignore" instead of fueling the fire and lengthening the less useful portion of...
At the risk of going off-topic (this thread went South since around page 8 anyway), but just in case you're still following here, be careful about...
Can be if you're emotionally distant from it. ...that is, once you overcome the "nah, come to think of it I wouldn't have taken that one for real"...

I used to know one back in 2003, although I don't know how modest his means may have been earlier on. He liked scalping near the opens for $3-5K...
Wow, I guess it depends on the business! (See below.) Man, I really must've been in the wrong business, or have sucked at managing it. ;) For...
While we don't know that levitation per se is at all possible, we do know of the existence of successful traders, so I don't think it's a fair...
In any endeavour at all, not just trading, you hear the same kinds of comments. Unless the person has an insurmountable fundamental flaw (i.e....
...but now we know that they just move the 10% of traders which are profitable onto their A-Book and hedge them, so it doesn't seem to me like...
I don't know about those. Forex and CFD market makers don't have to show us proof of anything more than what transpired directly in our account,...
Fascinating! I always wondered how much of their clientèle the market maker shops actually hedged in underlying markets. A quick Google search...
Just FYI, unlike Dukascopy which is making a graceful (and presumably expensive) gesture here to preserve retail trader confidence, market makers...
