I agree that someone well capitalized should open their own account. Unfortunately I'm right in the middle of these 2 sides. It is just a big math problem. It is the bottom line the following year after taxes that matters. If going with a firm like this provides enough size that will effectively and efficiently provide more income than that of a trader could do in their own account, then go with the firm. As soon as the story flips, it is no longer needed. There are many other reasons too that have kept me on the fence. One thing for sure that is annoying is how uneducated these firms' customer service/reps are. You ask questions for clarity/confirmation, but you get 10 different answers. Also at times it is obvious that they are just saying something, maybe thinking that you do not know any better and/or not willing to get the correct information. It seems that their main narrative is quit antonymous too. Oh well, they say sometimes you just got to bit the bullet right?
-Why do you guys not offer CTS T4 "Advanced", but just the "Core"?
-Why do you not offer Eurex during the combine? Have the attendee pay for the data. Others are doing that.
-Why do you not offer additional Eurex products that A) have low margins B) have a great risk profile C) could offer win/win for both the trader and firm as they are less per side fees = more profits kept in the account.
-why do you not offer notional/margin based risk accounts? If someone scales up to and is able to do 15 lots... they can trade 15 NQ? That is huge risk compared to 30lots schatz... build a risk profile for a trader to trade according to their style and risk management after completing the combine or another combine option.
-why do you not offer spreads or only allow the front month? CL has great liquidity within the first 3 calendar months. Span margins for spreads typically are lower, and can offer better risk control for various spreads? More round turns churns for you guys too...
Thank you for your questions. They provide valuable feedback as to what you'd like to see as part of our offering, and I've shared them with our team. The common denominator for many is cost. We strive to keep costs down for our traders.
Regarding Z3N - We will evaluate its volume and liquidity when it launches July 13, and will decide whether to offer it.
If you would like to have a conversation about your specific questions, please reach out to [email protected].
It is my pleasure to welcome John Hoagland and Dan Hodgman @ TopstepTrader for our 395th webinar event, on Thursday, July 30th @ 4:30 PM Eastern US.
The title for the event is "Fireside Chat with Seasoned Futures Traders", and bullet points include:
- What we've seen so far in 2020 and how our traders are handling the volatility
- What steps our top-performing funded traders are taking to manage risk and take profits during these unprecedented times
- How you can start taking advantage of these market moves without risking your own hard-earned capital
This page shows the current monthly price for the $50k Combine as $165, while this one shows it currently "reduced" as a special offer from $264 to $199.
We are currently running a promotion to celebrate 8 years of funding traders, and the pricing includes a monthly reset which is not included in the standard Trading Combine price.
These packages are available until August 11. You can take advantage of the discounts here.
its there birthday special, you get the combine + a reset every month and your price is locked in. so for the 50k combine every month you would pay $199 and your allowed one reset per month. Its the best deal they're gonna give you.
