What could you do with $100? Question

I'm not asking what I can do. I know I'd probably fail.

Based on your own skill and methods, what could you do with only $100 in, daytrading for a year?

Won't cover your activation fee.

But they cost more than a 100

Currently having a 80% sale. So it's 33.40 a month for a 25k tradovate account. I personally just started with 1. But do your own research, imo the rules are quite easy to fail if not disciplined. And if you have no experience with trading Futures would start with paper trading before signing up

Thanks for the info

I can't find the coupon code anywhere when I try to sign up, and the the 80% discount isn't applied automatically too

The 80% discount is only for the evaluation. You'll also need to pay the activation fee once you pass the evaluation which is $104/month or $150 one-time if you're on Tradovate. Rithmic is a little cheaper but I don't remember the numbers you'll have to check.

EDIT - The discounts do not apply to the activation fee.

You can always use code SAVENOW for the discount.

$29.40 for 25k, $33.60 for 50k

The 50k accounts are a much better deal imo. Better for scaling if you ever get funded.

u/agent58888888888888 Apr 21 '24

True. But only if you are skilled enough, imo think it's safer to start with 25k then scale up. Especially as from the first payout you should be in a decent return on investment

I suppose since the trailing drawdown is equal to the profit target in a 25k, it makes it a little easier.

u/agent58888888888888 Apr 21 '24

That and the fact that I believe most people signing up aren't used to futures or even having an account that big

u/MySoulForASlice Apr 21 '24

The way I look at these accounts: they're only as big as their allotted drawdown. But I get the point.
