On September 1, 2026, TradesMBK will begin its journey with TopStep, the leading futures trading prop firm. Our goal is to establish individual accounts for everyone and begin the Trader Combine with a goal of completing the combine in less than 30 days.
A disciplined daily trading plan is the core of the 4 Traders approach, built around a strict maximum loss limit of under 2% per day to ensure controlled, consistent performance. Each trading session begins with a brief pre‑market routine: establishing directional bias, marking key levels, setting alerts, and defining risk parameters. During active market hours, trades are taken only when they meet clear structural criteria—such as trend alignment, clean break‑and‑retest behavior, or defined liquidity signals—and every position includes a preset stop loss and take‑profit target. Risk is capped at 0.5% per trade, with a limit of three to five trades per day, and trading stops immediately if losses reach 1.5% to prevent violating the daily limit. Execution rules emphasize discipline: no revenge trading, no adding to losing positions, no widening stops, and no trades outside permitted hours. After the session, traders log results, review decisions, and journal each trade to reinforce consistency. Weekly performance is evaluated by smooth equity growth, minimal drawdowns, rule compliance, and a majority of green days. Maintaining this structure for several weeks typically demonstrates the consistency required to progress from Topstep’s Express Funded Account to the Live Funded Account.
