If you have traded in a TopstepTrader combine at least once, you have probably used TST’s preferred platform called TSTrader, which is powered by Tradovate.

It’s been awhile since I last updated you with the Small Account Challenge trading futures. But I promise I have been busy with passing the TopstepTrader $50k combine again, trading this small account and building my trading education company, Price Level Trading.
Howdy y’all! It has been quite some time since my last blog post. In between restarting my trading company, Price Level Trading, I worked on passing the TopstepTrader™ $50k combine for the second time.

In this video I cover each trade live as NQ broke strong out of the gate at open and formed a nice bullish trend. But the huge miss on the ISM Manufacturing PMI turned the trend bearish in a few seconds.
In this video I break down what I have been doing the last two months from transitioning to a new software developer role at Intuit to discussing my progress with TST to covering briefly a self-sabotage cycle that I encountered that caused me to reset my TST combines plus loss of personal capital.
