Topstep $50k Trading Combine Day 3 (Goal $3000/Current Margin Bal. @ $0)



Patience! Patience! Patience! So here we are as of 1931 CT and my strategy has still not taken a trade as the proper conditions have not been met. Just for those of you reading this, I am using automated NinjaScript script "LWTGMACrossoverV31". Just for reference, I have back tested this 6 ways to Sunday. Currently it is profitable with NQ(Mini Nasdaq), MNQ(Micro Nasdaq) and CL(Gold). I am not sure why is does not seem to work on some of the other commodities, but I am only focused on NQ and MNQ. I have to learn to walk before I run.

I'll not bore you with "SIM Dollars" and I encourage you to back test and form your own conclusions. I am, however, that I can pass multiple combines and within all Topstep parameters.

Lets take a step back and explain my plan. This is for me as much as for you all reading along.

Phase 1

  1. Develop automated strategy to be used within NinjaTrader to trade my combine(s) as my work schedule does not currently allow me to trade during normal hours. Completed 2/15/25.
  2. Run automated strategy (LWTGMACrossoverVxx) against MNQ for 2 weeks. Tweak as needed. Completed 3/1/25
  3. Purchase Topstep $50k Trading Combine #1($49). Completed 3/9/25
  4. Run automated strategy (LWTGMACrossoverV3) against Topstep Combine #1. Started 3/9/25 
  5. Pass Topstep $50k Trading Combine #1. Estimated Completion 4/1/25
  6. Pay for Topstep XFA #1 activation ($149). Estimated Completion 4/7/25

Phase 2 

  1. Use profits from Topstep XFA #1 to fund Topstep $50k Trading Combine #2 (cost $49)
  2. Use profits to purchase Ultimate A.I. Original Indicator ($297 for 3 months).
  3. Run automated strategy (LWTGMACrossoverV3) against Combine #2.
  4. "Scalp" trade against Topstep $50k Trading Combine #2 and XFA #1. The goal of adding scalping to the mix is to pass Combine #2 faster.
  5. Pay for XFA #2 activation ($149). Estimated Completion 5/15/25
  6. Purchase Copy Trader software (Replikanto? Affordable Indicators? Rithmic?) approx. cost $250
  7. "Copy Trade" with LWTGMACrossoverV3 during the day and "Scalp" trade after hours (London open??)

Phase 3 

  1. Purchase Topstep Combine #3($49). 
  2. "Scalp" trade against Topstep $50k Trading Combine #3 and Topstep XFA #1 & #2 


                Gotta hit the hay and will return tomorrow!


Peace!~
