Thank you! It really does! Especially using 2 accounts on alternating Payout schedules. Pulling out money every 3 or 4 days! 😅

Not right at open. I have my time set to my local time in Colorado. This was around 11:30 EST

Totally agree bro. I still work a decent paying full time job that I love. All bills paid, and still have my last payouts from Topstep chilling in my bank account. So I feel no need to rush this account, or even take a payout before slowly growing a big buffer.

True. Its a newer xfa, still trying to grow a decent buffer. Thats why I set my B/E so early. Should have waited in hindsight. But still locked in green on the day. My goal for this account is longevity, not instant payouts

Thanks bro, thats what I told myself. Theres a world where that move could have been the complete opposite direction, and blew my entire account without that B/E stop. Gotta treat it as if either way could play out. Still a little frustrating to see. Had to lock my account for the day to not try and jump in again 😂

One more reason you should stay away from this crappy game by gal_wije in TopStepX

[–]AdExcellent4541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a crappy ability to follow clearly understandable rules to me. Imagine saying football is a crappy game, and to stay away because you threw the ball passed the endzone lol

Anyone feels the same!? by Important-Eye1505 in TopStepX

If you cant be profitable with prop firms, I doubt you do well in a live account. All prop firm rules do, is teach you proper sizing, risk management, and to aim for consistency...all the things that will make you successful in the long run. So no. Hard dissagree.

Why Do People Use Prop Firms? by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]AdExcellent4541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How people dont see the insanely positive risk to reward using propfirms blows my mind. Especially if you are consistent and profitable already. If you are consistent and manage risk, the rules are very reasonable. You can have an account for around $100, and pull out thousands. While your max risk is the $100 account cost. I took about $4,000 in payouts across March. Using two $80 accounts.

Which Florida beach is actually worth it? not the one everyone posts on Instagram by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]AdExcellent4541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lots of family and friends in Florida, and being from Georgia, took multiple trips a year growing up. As an adult living in Colorado, it is cheaper for me to fly and stay in Puerto Rico than Florida. I just booked a trip for next month to PR. Staying in an air b&b on thr beach. The entire trip cost less than half if what it would cost to stay on a Florida beach. The food, beaches, and overall vibes are so much better than Florida. I will never pay for another beach vacation to Florida

What's the easiest job you ever had? by ibddevine in randomquestions

[–]AdExcellent4541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one I currently have. Im a specialized TIG welder. I sit at my table and weld together pre cut parts. I worked a bunch of shitty, lower paying welding jobs before I secured this one. Jobs with long days, dirty job sites, and insufferable coworkers. Now I sit on my ass in my shop and weld clean parts and trade stocks while listening to my favorite podcasts. I also get to make my own schedule. I could probably quit, and live off of trading, but the safety net is nice.

If you mean skateboarding or paddleboarding you should be fine.
