@@wenling3487 Yup. Such flexibility now though in sizing, scaling. I actually let my Tradovate account go and opened only TopstepX to be able to copy trade. The main difference between actual TradingView and TopstepX is that long/short tool - I was so used to designing my risk parameters in, beforehand, with the TV tool but I've gotten used to the TSX way of trade entry. TSX lets you set TP and SL based on monetary amount, but you can't really prime if for RR ahead of time. Still, it's nice to be able to start with say four micros and add or take away as many as you want once the trade is under way.

Hello, If I get the $49 subscription to have a $50,000 account and I fail the evaluation, do I need to pay $49 for each new account or are multiple attempts included in the monthly subscription? In other words, if I fail an account and want to start over, is it included in the same subscription or do I need to pay for each account I use

[@Kalee-f9m]

my understanding is if you fail you can pay 49$ to reset it early. Or wait til end of month when ur billing cycle hits and it will auto reset. So essentially you have one shot per 49$

[@niemnn]

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, on a $150K account, if you build a cushion of $4.5K before requesting a payout, you essentially have a $9K drawdown, since the profit will stack on the base $4.5K drawdown, right?

[@capstrazz6224]

No, the 4.5k base will be gone once you get your payout, your new drawdown will be 4.5k as you have taken out 4.5k and left 4.5k in your balance and your drawdown balance is set to $0 starting balance

[@niemnn]

@@capstrazz6224 Lets say I didnt request a payout, would the cushion/profit of 4.5K stack on the base? So if I went on a losing streak I would be able to lose 9K before loaing the account?

[@user-yr4mo3iz4d]

and you dont have 150k. Your funds are the drawdown. E.g 50k account. You really only 2k to trade, so best just use your own funds if have 2k and not have any drawdown and their trailing rules.

[@niemnn]

@@user-yr4mo3iz4d So that means my drawdrawn will follow the profits? For example if Im 6K in profits, I can then still only lose 4.5K even though its 6K up total?

[@FlexterMorgan]

@@niemnn Once you hit 52k your Max Drawdown is at 50k and it stays at 50k. If youre up 6k like your example you can lose up to 6k. But if you withdrawal lets say 3k from your 6k, you can only lose 3k now before you hit 50k. So basically what im doing is considering 52k breakeven to keep a 2k buffer. This is for a 50k account example.
