Trading NQ in @Topstep SIM today? There are TWO FOMC restriction windows to watch:
1:55–2:05 PM ET for the rate decision.
2:25–2:35 PM ET for the press conference.
No new NQ positions during either window. An unfilled NQ limit order isn't an existing position...placing it early doesn't get around the restriction.
MNQ limits vary by account and balance, so check yours before the release.

Got into that short early Friday...wanted about $100, ended up taking roughly $15.
Then it made the move. Of course 😂
Still, I wasn't happy holding that early entry while it stalled. “It would've worked” is real easy to say after you're out.

Does "from the first dollar" mean no payout buffer, or just that the 90/10 split starts immediately? Those can be very different things when you're trying to get that first payout.
NQ can hit your target and still stop you out first.
When I see a stat about how often a level gets tagged, I wanna know the entry and how far price went against it on the way.
Useful info...but I'd test the stop and target together before calling it a trade win rate.
40% consistency can mean different things depending on what you're dividing by.
@BluSkyTrading's Orbit Sim Funded rule uses the total of your PROFITABLE days. Say your biggest day is $1,000 and your green days add up to $2,500...that's 40%.
A $500 red day leaves $2,000 net, but the consistency figure stays 40%. The loss still hurts your balance. It just doesn't make that percentage worse.

It's all fine and dandy as long as everyone is getting paid...until they aren't and trying to claw back everything you get paid out 🤣😂

I'd be curious how often that move to BE gets tagged before your actual exit signal. Could be saving you on some trades and knocking you out of good ones on others...worth tracking separately from the early exits.
For the perps listings, how do you verify where funded trades are actually executed? Would be useful to show which claims you've independently checked and which come from the firm...helps traders understand what 'vetted' covers.
10 MNQ has the same dollar exposure per point as 1 NQ. Calling them micros doesn't make that position smaller 😂
Micros let you peel off 3 and leave 7, which you can't do with one mini. Useful flexibility...but I'd check the total round-trip fees for how I'm actually entering and exiting.
Using MotiveWave with @TradingLucid? Check the platform cost before buying an account.
Lucid's Rithmic setup guide says an active MotiveWave subscription is required and is no longer provided by Lucid.
You can still connect...the subscription just isn't included.

Even if you weren’t a black belt in tae kwon do I’d still put my money on you…
