Hi,

I just wanted to know if I was allowed for me to have account with both firms. If not, can I open an account on behalf of my wife and trade on her behalf? Reason I ask is, I figured I could earn more with multiple accounts with multiple firms. My risk parameters stay the same across all accounts. Thank you for your knowledge.

You can trade both accounts at the same time using your name, but you have to use one computer for each account, because you cannot connect to both Rithmic data feeds on one machine at the same time....so you should consider to use one computer for TopStep, and a second one for your E2T account / evaluation.

Hope that helps...

Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate your inputs.

With TST you could chooses the TSTrader platform, that uses CQG data (Platform Comparison Guide - https://help.futures.topstep.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010515748-List-of-Supported-Platforms )

Yep, that's correct.

I assumed that he wants to use Ninja Trader with both accounts simultaneously.

Does anyone know can you have a live account with topstep and a live account with earn2trade at the same time?

Using virtual OS should work?

Some forum guys claimed to be trading TST for day trade, and e2t for swing trading (they chose the Gauntlet). Always best to check with their live support, like Lemons suggested.

Btw there was CME announcement (with effect from May this year I think) that you will be billed professional fees once you have more than 1 session active at a time just FYI.

TBH, Idon't know, I didn't check that out.

For me, it's a lot easier to trade different accounts on different machines, and in addition you have a sort of backup solution in place if one computer fails.
