@AnzilottiM @AdamMancini4 I thought it is fine, just need to have your stop wider, below the swing low, due to low volatility conditions, and not micro manage

There's 6848 support hit in #ES_F but volatility is still non-existent. Extreme low quality conditions here with excessive noise, chop, trapping. Trade light or not at all. Bulls must push fast here to see 6861, 6872 (6848-72=a tight flag). 6882, 6900 above. 6840, 6826-21 below
Adam Mancini@AdamMancini4

Volatility remains 0 in #ES_F. As warned, no volatility=no trades. Runners still working from Tuesday's 6592 Macro Failed Breakdown. 6848-6872=a tight flag. Today's 1st target was 6882, we ran there, rejected back into the range. 6848=support (watch traps). 6821-26 below

@ajayc11 @AdamMancini4 I've been posting trade recap videos here if you're interested. Not always exactly per NL as I'm often recording before NL comes out but for the most part pretty close. @ES_FBD" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@ES_FBD

@DaleSteyn62 Stopped watching after the 1st 4 overs . It was like watching slow throw downs, on a cement slab, at the local cricket ground. Boring as hell and we also know that NZ has 1 good game out of 100, and they reserve that for SA, Really crap to watch.. Zero interest in this.. ...

@AdamMancini4 Alos, would love to see a daily chart with actually exections, when you talk about your trades that you took. Surely should not ne too difficult to add and would only be fair to prove that you actually walk the talk. Honestly not too much to ask on behalf of your subs, imo.

@AdamMancini4 Fair review.. I do need to add that the NL is quite verbose. Would be fantastic if you could explain a lot more of your past trades and levels via charts.. Much easier to understand and revisit. Could probably cut all the writing by 30%..

So disheartening and grim that Munster & Ireland's social teams have had to turn comments off on posts regarding Edwin Edogbo's Test debut 😤 Massive day for Edwin, on Sat, and for all his friends + family🍀 Really hope such disgraceful comments don't take too much away from it

Jimmy nice post you're right with a lot of this.. If anyone felt that I or Topstep were gaslighting the community, I’m sorry it came off like that but I can see how it def could have. That was not our intent. But intent and perception are not always aligned and that’s on us to manage better. The recent live account changes were made for two reasons…to help traders get better at shooting for a target to achieve AND to manage risk and exposure within our prop firm responsibly at scale. The old way of starting with the full $150,000 live real prop capital balances for a new called up live trader trading out of the gate live is a TON of risk and market exposure for a trader coming out of sim... It also ties up a TON of capital. It is not scalable at our size and it is not prudent risk management of our prop continuing to set up and start new live funded accounts this way..(another example is to think flash crash type risk exposure where that entire 150,000 can vanish in a second scenario as well with this that we thought about). The changes we made allow us to give a similar live trading experience to our called up live traders less exposure for the prop firm while allowing us to manage risk and market exposure better at scale overall... probably should have led with this in the messgaing when sharing.. learning the hard way this week but learning none the less how to better communicate with the community... On support I also agree. If I were a trader experiencing this, I’d be frustrated too. We’ve been working to dig out, but outages and the last 30 days of volatility haven’t helped. That’s not an excuse and we’re focused on fixing it. The December platform outage absolutely hurt TP. That’s true. We will continue to work to get better in all these areas. A silver lining re outage learnings is the TopstepX platform uptime has been 99.9% at least since the start of the year... making great ground there with the platform team. Appreciate you calling it how you see it. That kind of feedback makes us better... have a solid weekend!
JimmyFutures@JimmyFutures

I totally get that @Topstep want's to stop the prop ROI game. I don't fault @MichaelPatak for making decisions to do so. However the gaslighting of "be a better trader" and all of that BS is only alienating the trading community. Saying their rating is lower on TrustPilot than EVERYONE else "CuZ aFfILiAtEs" is completely out of touch. Your rating tanked because your platform became wholly unreliable and your customer service takes every opportunity to stick it to your traders. It is without a doubt the slowest customer service in the industry and for a company that is opening a brokerage would dissuade any sensible person from trying it. I CANNOT imagine how pissed users would be if TSX went down in their brokerage account and customer service said something stupid like "send a screen recording." You guys are out of touch and have lost sight of what's important.

The only thing worse than not having water is non-communication regarding the reasons why there is no water. We should not run away from people, we should own our mistakes and take the people in our confidence. @CityofJoburgZA leaders pls do better and right by residents.

I’m told by your worshippers that you’re the most economically literate figure in the DA, which, frankly, is unsettling in itself. But leaving that aside, could you explain to those of us with lesser economic insight how you intend to fund your socialist policies? There’s a well-known rule of thumb, and one that Margaret Thatcher famously articulated, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” So once the middle class in the Cape has been hollowed out, where exactly will the funding for these ever-expanding handouts come from?
Geordin Hill-Lewis@geordinhl

I see ‘Temu Terreblanche’ is at it again! 🙄 South Africa will never be truly prosperous unless each person has at least a modicum of dignified living, and the hope that life can get better. In Cape Town, we are trying to demonstrate just that. We still have lots of problems, but we’re working, growing and steadily succeeding. 🇿🇦💪

@ErnstRoets The realities of governing aren’t as simple as that Ernst. I would hope you understood something like this, we inherited departments with policies that go back decades (BEE since 2003), the only way to change that is from the inside, not from the outside.

This is utter nonsense. You're not doing the DA any favours. You're trying to tell DA voters to understand that, once DA leaders are appointed, they will enforce ANC policy in order not to "face removal". Do you even hear yourself? In other words, once appointed, they become ANC proxies. If that's how it is, the choice is easy: Face removal! You're literally arguing that people should keep voting DA, because they have a policy against BEE, but we need to understand that they will enforce BEE once elected. Good luck with the next election.
Christopher Walker@chrisw_co_za

@ErnstRoets You got it wrong -Changing decades of entrenched ANC policy with 22% in a coalition doesn’t happen overnight, if ministers don’t implement the law they face removal. - The difference, which you forget, is that the DA is actively fighting BEE, and is the only party doing so.

@ErnstRoets And my last point BEE is set by Department of Trade, Industry and Competition under ANC Minister Parks Tau, even AgriBEE. It unfortunately doesn’t fall under the Department of Agriculture.

Good morning X 😎☕🫡 Starlink or not?!?! Well... 🤔 @elonmusk is pushing for @Starlink in South Africa because he wants to bring fast, reliable internet to rural schools, farms, clinics & millions who still wait decades for fibre or cell towers. He even offered R500m worth of free kits & service to connect 5000 rural schools (that's over 2.4m learners helped, no cost to @GovernmentZA). He's not 'destabilising' anything!! He's literally trying to give away massive connectivity upgrades. The only reason it's blocked? South Africa's B-BBEE rules requiring 30% black ownership for telecom licences. Elon has repeatedly said Starlink can't get a licence 'because I'm not black' — and he's called out the 140+ race-based laws that discriminate against non-black people today. He criticises those laws precisely because they echo the very discrimination Mandela fought against - equal treatment for ALL races, not reverse racism!! So @kimheller3 @UlrichJvV @Am_Blujay... it's not about missing apartheid or takeover plots or anything of that sort. It's about satellite internet flying overhead unused while kids in the bundus can't access online education because of ownership rules that even @Microsoft & @amazon got waivers for. South Africa deserves better connectivity!! Maybe the @MYANC and the left-wingers should think about connecting the country instead of blocking progress. 🤷🏻‍♀️
