TopstepTrader

Confidence builder

This program helped me build my confidence and get my trading back on track.. As every trader knows you can go through dry spells or cold streaks.. I had been on one and need to develop my strategy but in a way that kept me accountable like I do when I have my real money on the line.. Topstep helped me do this by providing the arena to communicate with other traders and hone what I needed to hone. Thanks to them and their program I am back to making money and my confidence is intacted (thank god)

If you're having trouble in the market jump into their Combine.. You will get solid expert feedback at the end of it.. this helps to learn what you did right and wrong and use that info to get better going forward.. definitely something I recommend to anyone, unless you're just killing in the market then keep doing what you are doing :)

Trader tryouts

Finally someone put together a tryouts for traders.bravo.. (a performance based business should all have tryouts). I do love the entire business model.

From my expereinece it helps traders either get better and figure out their weaknesses by trading in the Combine.. (you do find your strengths and weakness by doing what ... TRADING!).. The loss limit they have on accounts forces discipline on a trader.. What do you need to be successful in this business DISCIPLINE!... So all in all their program is a great way to develop traders and those that are trading well TST gets first rights to and puts that trader together with a equity backer.

hats off to this business...

PT BARNUM was right

1. If you can hit these parameters, get off your ass and start cold calling.

2. Do the math. It doesnt add up.

3. You are trading on demo. Wake up.

4. If you save your combine fees for a year, and get a paper trading platform, you can do the same thing...FOR FREE!

5. Why wont this guy go on Bloomberg or MSNBC? Timmy Sykes did it, why? Because he is legit and proves his track record when he charges for his info etc.

6. If you make money every single trading day at 300 bucks a day, thats 1500 a week. Sounds great right? Except you are forgetting TAXES, Profit Splits etc. *Nevermind nobody on planet earth can go 20 for 20 on a monthly daytrading basis. NOBODY. Therefore, you are wasting countless hours, combine fees to listen to a Puppeteer broadcast (look him up). By the end of the year you could have developed a REAL track record at a Prop Shop instead of wasting your time on this nonsense.

7. Name 1 TST trader that has moved on to bigger and better things....waiting...still waiting.

Also, many disgruntled traders have left this horrible scam and yet their names are still on the site.

Sometimes we want to believe so badly in a fantasy that it blinds us.

Lastly, I pray this kid is dumb enough to go on Bloomberg or CNBC to advertise this scam so the CFTC could have a FIELD day with him.

Kids, there are NO SHORTCUTS in life. You are better off working and doing this with REAL MONEY.

Good luck.

What do you think? I want to make BANK, bro!

Just my two cents...

If a successful futures day trader (like these TopStep Traders) wants to make REAL BANK, then that trader should open up an online "day trading room" and charge each subscriber $300 to $500 per month. If the trader is as good as what TopStep requires from their traders, then that trader's new subscriptions rate would grow exponentially. He could be yanking down $100K - $200K per month just in subscriptions! Who cares if he doesn't trade his own account, as long as he can call market direction with a decent rate of accuracy & can maintain discipline like a Trappist monk.

Now some of you might think I am being cynical, but tell me where my logic is flawed? Wouldn't you agree that awesome traders like these at TOPSTEP could make more money for themselves charging monthly subscriptions yet never having to risk his own capital (always staying in SIM mode). Is this a great country, or what?

If a TOPSTEP trader where to perform as well for us muppets as he does for some equity partner with TopStep, he can finally begin to make REAL BANK!

C'mon, all you TOPSTEP TRADERS, this is your clarion call!

STEP UP to your true greatness and open up a trading room.

(sorry for all the cliches.)

Peace Out.

great community and good trading insight

I have traded for awhile so I have seen many companies and education programs. I truly enjoy and have found the community at topstep trader to be very informative and supportive. This has been something i have looked for for quite sometime. Other chat rooms or educational programs Ive done cost a fortune and I ended up feeling blah after each.. tst has put together quite a solid community that keeps me full of knowledge daily. I made some great trading partners and I continually stay learning and developing in my trading.. good stuff.

helping me get back on my feet

So I've been at topstep trader for about 3 months.. Definitely glad I started their Combine program and stopped trading my personal account (well I was sorta forced to stop) as I have learned so much about what i was doing wrong and how I kept repeating that trading in my personal account.

I have met a bunch of other guys like me, which is nice to know Im not the only guy who reads the market backwards sometimes. Bouncing ideas off others is a solid help for me. Looking forward to developing and getting funded (unless I fire back up my personal account though I won't have any real buying power)

They funded a new trader a week that they are backing so Im def liking the direction, the place I am at in trading and the community..

Not only a great resource, but a great opportunity as well

As floor trading started drying up I was forced to go elsewhere and I was lucky enough to stumble upon TopstepTrader. From where I started in terms of knowing what the heck I was doing on the screen to where I am now is something I couldn't have done reading books or watching videos. The simulated trading along with the guidance from the scouts and other traders in the chat is a great way to learn...at least for me. I am in my second Combine and have learned much more than my previous online class which I paid a pretty penny for...wont mention any names! I would highly recommend Topstep to traders looking to get into futures trading and maybe consider it as a possible career.

Getting traders in-tune with the markets

Joined back in December.

Very satisfied with my progress and performance trading. I am learning how to manage futures positions which I am not used to. Def like trading futures over stocks. Highly leverage instruments tend to be more entertaining ha.. I am really enjoying the Trading class they have in their chat room and their streaming broadcast. I am hearing interviews with other traders each day so that is keeping me right in-tune with what others are seeing and opening me up to my own perspective.

Quality stuff they put out... First program I have been around like this. I am looking to get financially backed by their equity partner once I can get my trading plan tweaked and discipline in order.. if you want to chat with me on the markets i am in their squawk radio energies chat room or pits is what they call it... chat name conrad.

Helping me learn about futures after losing in forex

I am learning futures now after blowing up two accounts trading forex. I really like the environment at tst. I met a trading partner with them which has helped be understand some of my bad habits that is costing me.

Modern style squawk radio

So the typical squawk relays what is in the pits. We all basically know there isn't anything going on in there it is on the screens. This is probably the first squawk I have been apart of that created a trading floor atmosphere using a chat room and talks about what is happening on screen. I traded on the floor about 10 years back. A lot of back and forth goes on in the pit amongst other traders. Helping each other out so to speak with info.

I truly enjoy the team trading environment and hearing a broadcast.. I am in the energies room where there is about 70 other crude heating oil or nat gas traders. Some are backed by topstep some are getting evaluated to get backed and some are like me using it for a place to get info and hear what other are saying.

I am hearing the trading floor which is nice since I trade in my home office and it is quiet except for the rerun crap I have on cnbc and my 5 year old that runs around with the neighbor boy. ha. but what I really like is all crude traders are in one room or what they call pits and we discuss trades and setups in real-time as the day unfolds. It helps me and may help you..

good luck in trading.
