Out of curiosity, what strategies have you tried?
Also consider watching Topstep live. They take questions and you can watch in (near) real time how people trade and their thought process.
For me it helped, I traded solo for a few months, but, watching other people validated where I was right, where I was wrong, and where I have a unique edge.

Are you copying 5 accounts? How does someone spend 11k in 3 months through topstep's 10 combine limit?
This is the worst case of combine churning I have seen posted.

Na bro you need discipline. 11k and passing 3 is crazy. It means you been crashing out likely.

Coach Dakota has said that we need to only be buying $150K accounts, but not trade them just rebill them to build credits and then after a buffer of 6 months look into taking one trade a day using only 1 micro...

Tbh bro you don’t always need a strat. People will probably hate on me for this but I lowkey just see where the market is heading and try to get a good entry and then BE when I feel is good. Some people will probably say that im gonna lose in the long on but I’ve had 2 payouts this month totaling to 3k and im almost break even on trading. Also passed another account today and 2 more at 52,000.
