Hey nb10071981,

TST Trial Complete +$3548.80

While the numbers may look good, I am very disappointed with my performance. I made a lot of mistakes. It makes me feel like I'm regressing at times. It makes me want to put off starting a combine.

You can't trade any smaller than one contract. If I had learn to trade before trading real money it would be a different story. I lost over $50,000. So now I'm moving on to TST.

TopstepTrader Trial Started

Well, I decided to give TST a try (trial) after one last attempted at trading live. I had to accept that if I can't afford to lose what little money I have, the fear won't allow me to trade properly....
