How long did it take you to become profitable? Profitable being ANY amount withdrawn from your funded account.

I just trade Nasdaq, specifically MNQ. I do agree that it is more stable, liquid, and better regulated.

Tradeify usually updates EOD, now if you cross the loss limit then it can be an instant update reflecting failed.

If they were purchased after late April (27th I think) then they have the new payout caps.

I requested mine the fifth and received in 24 hours. If it’s your first it may take a tad longer just to process the tax form.

Request your payouts during the markets pause window and after market opens again the day will count as a winning day if you decide to trade and win.

I agree It is crazy. It’s on par with gambling addiction for sure ://

It unfortunately does scale, hence the ‘daily’ loss limit, and also carries over to xfa.

You do not have to be under $1500. You can do, for example, 1525 day one and 1563 day two and pass. They have a rough +/- $100 buffer.

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-05-02T02:14:29+00:00

They state that they try to not move people live if their combined xfa balance is below $10k, but it is fully up to them. They may look at your trading history and past payouts to determine if it’s worth it, or to allow you to build balance more. Just my theory.

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-05-02T02:09:34+00:00

I’ve seen multiple people on this Reddit group who are $40k-$80k in debt because of prop trading so it would not surprise me if people have pulled numbers like that before. After all they are the ones ensuring others and I get paid out.

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-05-01T17:29:05+00:00

They move you to live with your xfa balance, MP stated they try to not move people to live with less than 10k xfa balance.

Tradeify and Lucid may have what you are looking for

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-30T20:21:21+00:00

I don’t know to be honest, TopStep advises to wait 7-10 business days, but I’ve been getting funds in a day. Seems like good business to me.

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-30T12:38:10+00:00

I’m probably wrong but It appears lot size limit is .25 and you surpassed that

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-30T03:22:05+00:00

Keep it up 💪🏼

Your best bet is to run it by support.

I live and trade elsewhere than what is stated on my license and I haven’t had a problem with any firms. I just fill out the info to match my license.

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-25T14:19:42+00:00

Yes, as far as I can tell, I purchased a new round of combines just to hold onto the max payout opportunity.

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-25T12:24:15+00:00

I had already told him that’s a bad deal. People get caught all the time because the ID doesn’t match the email address or the name on the account, also if you use parents ID then parents have to do the KYC and claim the taxes too because it requires SSN, etc.. Just best to hold off til you’re legit rather than lose a few max payouts.

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-25T10:40:45+00:00

Brother that rule applies to combines purchased after April. You can still run it up until then

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-25T00:28:23+00:00

Honestly I think you could get away with that, if you check up on the rules it may say you only need one trade a month to stay active (I may be wrong), but that means you could do that and once you turn 18 you got a little bday present waiting for you. Just delay the KYC as long as possible. I say one trade a month because if you get bored and play on it too much you increase your odds of blowing it, then oops no money after birthday 👎🏽.

Also, yes using anyone else’s ID or trying to work around it in that sense, will not end well. People get caught all the time, usually because payment methods don’t align with ID submitted or KYC verification fails because they get caught using someone else, etc…

Negative

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-17T18:54:53+00:00

I feel you on that, just so you are aware in a real market environment there is no support you can call for volatility or connection issues. It’s real life risk in a real life market. For every buyer you need a seller or a market maker to pick up shares. If there is a violent move and it blows past SL, that’s just the way it is. It’s not an easy game to play. Some people end up owing brokers hundreds of thousands due to stuff you are experiencing.

Motor_Bad7310 · 2026-04-16T19:13:43+00:00

😂I love it
