Hi everyone came around here looking for suggestions. I'm thinking to subscribe for a Topstep combine. I wonder how does the connection with Tradingview and Tradovate actually works. For what I see, there is a monthly cost (9$) and the tradingview subscription costs of course. A part of that, I would like to know if anyone uses it, and if there is some lagging or some issues regarding on slippages, or anything eventually affecting the trade execution. Tradovate itself looks a good platform btw, but I have some indicators missing and also some portability...
i bought their combine last friday. They are good trading condition wise. I dont pay extra 9 to tradingview for data. Instead connect my topstep account to tradingview to get the feed. Thats good enough for me.
for payout what i understood is once youre funded for ex 150k account first pull in 4500$ to stop the trailing. Then I take out anythin above it so that u’ll have atleast 4500 drawdown. That same goes with all the firms first pull in the initial to stop trailing and then take out anything above it.

Gambler, day trader, Lucker, scalper etc or whatever name you can call me with I dont mind. Coz in the end i get the MONEY IN MY BANK and NETT PROFITABLE.
Thats what i preach to everyone is no startegy, no risk management is wrong if its working for you and keeps you PROFITABLE. In the end money in the bank matters not the process.

ok sounds logic indeed.
Not simple tho having a 4/5 k profits and still need to increase more to start withdrawing.
will be probably aiming to reach the 10k and withdraw them all.

Will give it the 50 or 100k a go.
At worst, the cost will not affect my bank. It’s a 350 to 400$ total cost

I have a question for the folks who have played with Darwinex Zero. VaR - is it a "fair" tool to use to measure a users trading capabilities? In your experience has the scoring system been of benefit? I am trying to get an idea out of my head after a conversation today with an "ex" prop firm employee and so if anyone can shed some light would appreciate it .
I think it's a fair way to assess/compare trader's abilities over the long term. It also protects investors from some rogue trader (expo33) going coo coo for cocoa puffs. The example in the video explaining VaR really makes sense to me. It keeps the YOLO crowd from getting rewarded over a consistent trader with solid risk management. Otherwise, it would be like competing in a prop firm competition where you need to earn 400% in a month to win anything. Especially since you can reset you account for $70. It would encourage the YOLO strategy.

My risk adjustment factor was 1.25 for the first week as I was trading conservatively during the initial calibration phase. The risk engine was increasing my trade size by 25%. Now that I'm trading like a maniac my risk factor is 0.61. Decreasing my trade size by nearly 40% which is a good thing. It's nice to be able to see in real time how the risk engine is managing your trading behavior.

This explains why my meta4 account balance at one point was at 103,200 but my profit percentage on the Darwinex site was only showing 2.5%.

The only negative thing I can think of is if you swing trade with lets say a 3 lot position size on average then you open a scalp trade of 6 lots. I'm assuming the risk engine may decrease that scalp size to get you back into the desired VaR range but I'm not entirely sure.

Overall, I like it and see it as a good thing. I think it makes the model sustainable. But then again I'm just some random guy clicking buttons. Check with Karl, he's got all the answers.

I'm curious what idea was in your head

yep most of the firms require a buffer safety net to be cleared first before pulling out the profits. SO in short its kinda 2 step. First evaluation and then the buffer. Better check their payout policy.

{quote} The only "extra" rule is 3 profitable days of 0.5%, othere than that it is traditional 2 step MFF, FTMO, with better scaling........every 10% without having to wait 3-4 months every time. I am the same, 1, maybe 2 trades daily.
5ers has, by far, the best scaling program. Miles away from the others I'm aware of.
E8 is also good. They pay but the payment is not deducted from the balance so it's like increasing the DD for that amount in each payout.
Finotive has the worse (they forfeit profits for scale).
Alpha is the second worse because we need to have the 10% in the account for scaling (after scaling it can be withdraw).

There is a potential innovation of existing props combining all the models best pieces. But you have to have some degree of math abilities for the actual trading. Even if someone has a good VaR score you probably have to clean the flow a bit. I am still somewhat skeptical about Darwinex actually giving “real” capital because of emotional variance that is super common in retail traders but it gives me some ideas on how it can be managed

If I compare to the ruleless type it also is the news rule etc. But its fine, I am going to the moon on my 5ers account. Actually its the first account I am excited for because of the scaling dopamine hit. The scaling does promote a consistency element which is good and fits into what I have been thinking about recently with the prop firm model and sustainability.

There is a way to measure traders beyond static % returns. So long as that way is clearly written I think its the best way forward in terms of sustainability.

Also I was introduced to an actual virtual game with cash rewards that I have passed onto the "ex" prop firm people I know as that would satiate the small account value and gambling types. There will be a way to have everything and be sustainable, but it won't come from these kids with FPFX contracts.
