DislikedI think Pulsar is very expensive to try it without already making money form trading. Also, at Topstep once you mad eit to live and even if you lose $2000 you already do not have to pay for demo. You have one combine per month free and you do not have to make $5000 again. the target is negotiated. and you do not have to trade those $2000 back. i have seen few traders returned to live and without DD they incurred. I think it is thanks to all those who pay and never succeed. very smart business model. Losers lose, but winners have it easier and Topstep...Ignored
I still like Pulsar more, because (besides the 40.000$ account increase - which is massive imo) they give you more room in your trading: no additional performance criteria and the ability to hold trades overnight. Also I like the straightforwardness of their objectives: you make 4% - you´re in. Whereas someone on trade2win claimed he applied at topstep, made it through the combine, completed all their objectives and they still denied him for some subjective reason (you know they can do that). Also, with Pulsar, you can trade spot Forex, which is a huge advantage in my book. Firstly, because 6E at times moves quite differently from Spot (I read this on a message board - don´t know if it´s true, I´ve never traded futures) and then because of the scalability: If you trade minilots, you can allow yourself a 2000 pip drawdown without worries. OK, I´m not trying to talk you out of it.
