My handle on X is @RyanTradesES I did a video comparing Topstep, Apex and MyFundedFutures. Check it out here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B2-Taqsrqsc.htmlsi=sBoLYJ5jpKMixS1C
From what I understand in their PRO Rules (link below), you have to be out of all positions 1 minute before and after FOMC, NFP and CPI. Also, if you trade crude oils, AVOID crude oil inventories. For bonds, AVOID bond auctions This does NOT appear to apply for the evaluations though Pro Rules (news rules towards bottom): takeprofittraderhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/15171769361053-Are-the-rules-the-same
I can't answer from experience, but as long as you're not using a high frequency trading algo, I don't know of any rules with TakeProfitTrader on how long your trades need to be.
Blusky is more expensive and harder to pass. There are 2 phases before you are funded, but they don’t have an activation fee, which is one of the benefits, but you do have to pay a monthly data fee once you have a live account. They have a static option, but the drawdown amt is low. You’re better off getting a 25k account from TPT than getting an account with Blusky. The drawdown with TPT is 1500 and only 800 with Blusky. Pros and cons to all of them.
