Passed OneUp Trader Evaluation and got a Funded Account
I am thinking of getting back to trading & may be do a combine.
Is there a reason you lost the funded account? Do the rules of combine apply for funded as well?
Also, how would you characterize your experience with them.
Trying to decide between Topstep , one up etc.
Thanks in advance!
I lost the Funded Account because the strategy I was using before to get me funded wasn't working as well because the markets were ranging so I had to try a different strategy in the middle of my Funded Account. It was a learning curve to adapt the new strategy to the rules of the evaluation which is similar to the Funded Account.
I'm trading with OneUp Trading because of the scaling plan. I use a strategy where if I'm wrong I reverse the position with more contracts. OneUp's scaling plan allows me to have up to 5 contracts in the first tier so my first trade is 1 contract and my reversal trade is 4 contracts. The 4th contract closes my first trade and then I'm reversed with 3 contracts in the opposite direction of my original trade.
I decided against Apex and some others because they limit how much you can withdraw after you get funded. If you're willing to wait 3 months before you can withdraw significant amounts of money you can go with the cheaper ones. However, they don't provide good quality customer service. You get what you pay for.
