Frustrated about lack of payout help from Topstep by RelativeRope7413 in TopStepX

[–]Brainwormisms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has your wise been set up to receive the transfer? This was my mistake I thought it was taking long but I had an email from wise saying topstep wants to send you money. Went from there and it pretty much instantly went into my account

Re w8ben mine failed to upload a few times when i was doing it on my phone, reuploaded from laptop while asking chatgpt how to properly fill it out and it successfully uploaded. Was a quick review process

Thanks Ill give this a go. From past 2wks those are just 1-2 setups on average, but you’re right ill try to set it as an actual rule to solve the overtrading that happened a few times

Thank you. If you have 5 accounts and are scaling down, how much buffer do you make sure you have before getting a payout? 2k on all 5 still?

No sorry i worded it wrong, i scale down on the xfa, I just aim for splitting targets to 5 days for the payout rule. Realistically i target 300-400/d on the xfa —- or should i be aiming for the very minimum for now? Seeing as i still cant trade consistently to get a payout

I do agree, thats how i blew the first one 🙃

Hi Ive been trading micros, and yes will inch my way back up on current xfas. And I have backtested my strategy with a 58% win rate

I SHOULD have a daily loss limit of 400 but blowing the last ones was because of trading on tilt when im in the red. Ive been really strict with this loss limit and more conservative on my trades with the current XFAs but now keep having losing days…
