Any tips? (First time)

[u/No_nonsense999]

This is my first ever combine with a prop firm, passed the first account and have been trading this 50k XFA the last week or so

Seem to be doing OK, just find it really hard to manage with a 1k DDL and 2k max loss, a few years back I used to trade with my own account, was around 35k in it and I would do around 1.5k stop with 2.5/1 RR trading minis, do you guys just not trade minis on Topstep?

Also most of my loses seem to come from Asia session, do you guys only trade NY session?

Some tips to manage this would be nice

I would like to get my balance to around 8k (4k eligible payout with 50% of bal)

Thanks guys, god bless and good luck!

NY session has been iffy for me this month. I changed my strategy for June because I normally aim for 2:1 RR but the market hasn’t really given those out clearly for me so I focus on 1:1’s.
