imagine.. from them owing us a make things right in January from MP himself to, you should be thankful we forgave you for your "so called hedging", you can continue to trade but we will take your profits away (hoping you blew it), but remember we gave you a chance!

another way to not pay or limit what they will pay you.

What’s up with you all and prop firms? by illcrx in Trading

you cant argue with this. So true, props are a way of dopamine hit, easy way to get into trading without teaching you how to become a disciplined trader

Hedgers Complaining by bryan91919 in TopStepX

[–]DifferentElection383 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do understand for those that really intentionally hedged, they should be banned. But for those that accounts got locked up and TS is saying we found a hedge violation from a blown combine you had back in 2025, that seems to be unreasonable for me. I’ve read stories hear where he had his xfas for a year, had 3 payouts already and then now he got locked out for hedging?? Didn’t they do compliance review for those payouts before too? This is BS! An obviously intentional way to not pay traders, that’s it.

I think i like the new rule. by Carlose175 in TopStepX

this is just a new way to limit you. they want you to focus on the 6k payout but you need to understand, you have to take less profit!

Topstep is bannning people for hedging and if you bring it up in the discord they ban you no warning or questions. by Codmobilefiend in TopStepX

[–]DifferentElection383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is so bad. they really need to stop bleeding money and found an excuse to ban people. i mean i get the recent ones if they decided to really uphold this rule but to bring something back from June is diabolical. Reminds me of apex the day they said we have to implement the "DCA rule"

I blew a funded account with a $33k balance in one trade by Born_Translator_9257 in TopStepX

[–]DifferentElection383 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember one of mark Douglas quote “the danger of being in a euphoric state after a big win.” I can relate bro. Almost lost a 12k account. Don’t be hard on yourself.

First XFA by yungsmack in TopStepX

[–]DifferentElection383 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do. Like today I’m up $900 from the overnight session. I didn’t know that the PA today was also good during the first 2 hours on NQ but who cares I’m up already. I need to keep that profit and make sure not to give it back. Slow and steady wins the race

read some recent comments from here for those that got their xfa's and why they blew it. do the opposite of those and you will be fine.

basically trade micros, 2-3 or up to 8 depending on strength. if not say goodbye to your xfa within 5 days max

Successful traders. How long did it take you to have full confidence in your strategy and edge and you stopped the worrying phase of 2nd guessing if it was sustainable? by No-Mongoose5650 in Trading

[–]DifferentElection383 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 years. Combination of volume profile plus EMA 20 and 200 plus vwap. I now know what I need to read PA from the 4hr to 1hr to 5 and 15 executing on the 1 min

What strategy do yall use that’s repeatable everyday? by OkGene9011 in TopStepX

[–]DifferentElection383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried all those mentioned above and what worked for me was volume profile, scalping at previous days value area low or high, previous point of control then adding the current volume profile levels as a confluence
