From Newbie to Funded in Three Weeks
One of our mentees began the Topstep combine on August 4. The first attempt failed on August 6. A second attempt failed on August 13. The third attempt passed on August 19 and funding was secured on August 26. Over this cycle the trader posted five winning days out of six, booked a total of 2,890.52 dollars and withdrew fifty percent.
The turnaround came from disciplined execution. Entries were kept small, size was raised only once in profit, and emotional impulses were removed from the process. The best day produced 1,255.44 dollars. The worst day closed at negative 871.42 dollars after a deeper intra day drawdown, and the plan remained intact.

Why This Approach Works
Funding programs reward consistency and risk control. By respecting risk on entry, scaling only when the trade proves itself, and operating inside a defined playbook, the trader shifted from randomness to repeatability. This is the Elite Traders Inc method. Structure. Discipline. Precise execution inside the right market windows.
