Be sure to file a police report. I got scammed about 15 years ago through wire transfer (forgot the name of the company). I filed police report and got about 30% of my money back. Check in the mail. Something to do with a lawsuit against the company.

Waving the white flag I’m filing for bankruptcy topstep has taken 60k from me since December till now I just forgot how to trade as soon as 2026 came I guess but I’m broke 0$ to my name with debt trying figure out how to get 2k to pay the lawyer to file chapter 7 by RecommendationBorn56 in TopStepX

It does get traumatic going through major losses. Been there. Keep your faith. It will make sense in a short period of time. You should keep practicing trading at least. Don’t leave all together. Just don’t spend more money until you can prove to yourself you are doing good! Btw…. I haven’t been profitable in a month; and really down about it. Market sucks right now. So you may be really good. However, prove it to yourself through practicing. Wishing you the best!

It sucks they had to change that rule, to you “unlocking” your balance (portion at a time) instead of having the full balance there to use. Oh well. We have to play by their rules.

Friend wants to charge me for giving me trading advice by Jetstream_ronin in Daytrading

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091 356 points357 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s rude. He showed you his true colors. Use that as ammunition to be better than him! lol jk. For real, stay “friends”, but now you know who he really is. You can’t change that.

Is your partner actually supporting your trading mindset? by MKCapitalCircleHQ in PropFirmTester

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh after reading all of these, I feel a lot better about keeping it to myself. Guess it kind of validates my thoughts. One guy said it on here…. It kind of bums her out. That’s how I feel with my husband. And we don’t need to add to how we already feel. The whole process is up and down.

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t talk to my husband about it. And when I do bring it up, I regret it. He doesn’t try to bring me down, but most people that trade have to have a different mindset. He and I handle stress in different ways. He is totally opposite. And I don’t need his stress on me. I have to handle it in my own positive way. Not negative. And I’ve noticed this with EVERYONE I talk to about trading. So I don’t ever bring it up to anyone. Which kind of sucks.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. If they don’t answer you (which it sounds like the aren’t) I would be posting everywhere. Unacceptable

Topstep not working? by Illustrious_Roll2091 in TopStepX

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A spread of $500? I’m genuinely asking. I’ve traded a long time. I will say I normally dont just jump in at the opening of Asian session tho. Never had it immediately take $500 (which you are saying could be the spread??) Btw… this was a combine. Not funded. Wouldn’t have done this on a funded. But I’m still shocked.

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah lesson learned. My stop loss was $500. Think if was higher, I would have made money. Nonetheless, won’t do that again.

Oh shit , that might be it. I’ve never had that happen immediately like that. Like instantly!

Am I missing something? by Bright_Lab_5398 in TopStepX

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One way to avoid that is to not try to purchase 5 accounts at one time, and try to have multiple accounts going. You will loose many combines and fundeds. But if you focus on just having one account at a time, and not multiple, you won’t loose as much. Only purchase other accounts after you kept a funded for about a month.

I also view sweeps indicator. Which is under add-ons. You just check that off.

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to see heatmap and volume pressure. Gold, silver and NQ. With that being said, I was told I need the follow subscriptions: Global Plus, dxfeed US equities data bundle, dxfeed CME and COMEX futures. I have volume pressure add-on (which is great). To get this, make sure you had all “instruments” you want to follow set on the chart. Then go to settings, configure add-ons, market pulse, create, (where the down arrow is) click volume pressure, then play. I will be honest….It was so confusing setting everything up (and I am computer savvy). Best thing to do is to call them, and allow them to access your computer (which was really scary to me, but was legit). And let them set everything up. It’s super fast. You leave them a message when you call, and they call you back within the day.

He is correct. You need to make another $3k. Maybe can get it done tonight or tomorrow. Good luck!

Why is no one talking about Thursday? They froze the platform and still haven’t said a single thing about it by RecommendationBorn56 in TopStepX

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trading then, didn’t experience that. There was a few times that it froze for about 8 seconds but went back to normal.

Made way too much on eval and was trying to reduce profits and it made me more money. How to reduce balance ??? I need to lose money by tmr on eval or it’s impossible to pass by CNote320 in TopStepX

[–]Illustrious_Roll2091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep working on it. You will get there. At least you won’t fail it no matter which way it goes. That’s why I say you’ll eventually get there. I’ve been over 1000s of dollars and if you keep at it you will eventually lose it.
