Topstep $50k Trading Combine Day 7 (Margin Goal $3000/Current Margin Bal. @ $367.70)

 

Time for another pivot. I do have a written plan, which I'll post below. While I was tweaking and studying and browsing I came across Back to the Future Trading. I think this is a game changing approach. 

This is not so much a change in direction as it is really about adding tools to the arsenal. I think that this might be a REALLY BIG hammer! LOL! 

NO, I am not an affiliate! NO, I get nothing if you check it out! NO, I get nothing if you buy. Once again, this Blog is for education purposes only. I will be a fully funded trader with the freedoms I have sought all of my life. You can come along, observe from the sidelines or go your own path. That is all up to you. If you choose to follow along you will be able to see what happens.

Now, back to the schedule. I have roughed out a schedule for my progression. None of these times are set in stone as I going to do this one time and the right time. Things may change, times may change, tools may change but the end goal is the same.

See below my schedule of events/tasks as of 3/16/23 @ 1543 CT.
