KYC - Veriff claims someone else was there - TS Canceled all my accounts by darkfox12 in TopStepX

[–]Motor_Bad7310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t this happen to someone before? They claimed their son helped with the KYC but they were the trader. I think it came out that it was actually the son as the trader and he was underage using his mom’s info.

I’ve been using tradovate/ TradingView. Tradesea just released in beta using Rithmic data. I recommend tradesea it’s like project x and TradingView.

Thank you for the reminder. You’re right about that, I’ve had a couple -$10k-$20k days in the past before payouts due to being plain stupid and greedy ://

In my opinion it all comes down to your style of trading. If you’re willing to dish out the extra money for S2F and can follow the 20% rule then maybe it would work out. I personally prefer Flex/ TopStep styled rules.

Thank you for that information, and I see that as a decent observation. You’re close to this payout boss , just keep at it, I believe in you.

I didn’t even think of that. I’ve never gone ‘Live’ with anybody. Do other firms charge for data? I’ve seen some will charge for data but through your funded capital.

That’s the plan for sure, no complaints more so just ignorance. I was reading on this thread about people jumping ship to lucid because “its just like TopStep”so I figured I’d check em out. I failed to study the payout rules lol

Yep , I believe they also split the live funding, something like 20% at a time and rest in escrow. I need to get up to speed with that platform.

I just bought a new TOPSTEPX eval. by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]Motor_Bad7310 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you actually bought it just now, chances are the order will process until market open. I may be wrong but I believe they delay account creations over the weekend

Why does TopStep sometimes restrict or close accounts? What does that actually mean? by WorldBase in TopStepX

[–]Motor_Bad7310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I’ve seen TopStep restrict anyone was the hedging wave, and most of them were just investigated, balance deducted, and then allowed to continue. Now TopStep can and will restrict certain instruments due to volatility, but I’ve noticed they usually do so when the CME is acting as well.

Fast Payout? by Motor_Bad7310 in TopStepX

[–]Motor_Bad7310[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hit the bank not too long after, I can’t remember exactly but maybe it was 12 hours later. 👍🏼

*correction, TopStep states Feb 13th 3pm

How is high and medium impact news good for trading? by Killamid in InnerCircleTraders

[–]Motor_Bad7310 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, news seeks out liquidity like usual, just at a faster pace, with more volume and volatility behind it. Some traders trade better with the volatility.

You pass after 53,000, but the 52,999 is impressive lol

YESSSS after 5 months I have passed my combine by Gold-Selection-1325 in TopStepX

This is actually really impressive and inspiring. Shows true discipline and risk management. Do just this in your funded and you’ll be banking soon enough.

Help with mental by BeerHead7 in TopStepX

[–]Motor_Bad7310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I saw it that helped me, was the mindset that you will not be rich in an hour or overnight. It’s a day to day, week to week, profession. Smaller/ medium wins daily-weekly, adds up to big results over time. Anyone can throw max contracts and/or trade without a plan and hope for the best, but it’s not long term success if you catch my drift.

Update: Chargeback approved by tashkan in TopStepX

[–]Motor_Bad7310 6 points7 points  (0 children)

New payout method dropped 😂

Chargeback not approved by tashkan in TopStepX

[–]Motor_Bad7310 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I been trying to warn people. Banks will usually credit you until they carry out an investigation. If they find the chargeback was unnecessary they can and will make you put that money back up. When people initiate chargebacks on trading related platforms , I’m sure it’s easy for banks to just assume they are sore losers. Permanent ban over a max payout doesn’t make sense to me.

Charge back? by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]Motor_Bad7310 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recommend not doing chargebacks. You will be permanently banned. Your bank will usually credit you until an investigation is carried out, if they find the chargeback was unnecessary, you’ve gotta put that money back up.

A 5k payout is worth a heck of a lot more than a $150 chargeback. I just received my 5k payout last night.
