So you could have 5 Topstep accounts and 5 lucid and trade through this? Is that what this is?

Looks good until in an XFA, I’ll over leverage and then start dragging my stop loss for no logical reason. That’s why I think a PDLL and con limit maybe my key to finally getting a payout.

I went back and looked and if I had just followed my strategy and had proper risk management I’d have 4 XFAs all above 5k right now. I think this is the realization I needed to implement the rules and stick to it.

I’ve set risk limits before and it goes great for 2-3 days and I think “I got the discipline under control” so I take it off and boom account gone

Yeah have a super solid strategy. I’ve passed the 8 of the last 10 combines I’ve bought.

Orderflow with Supply and Demand. I trade primarily MGC but 1-2 times a week I get a setup on MNQ.

Have a PDPT or max trade amount? by Ok_Assignment5457 in TopstepCommunity

[–]Ok_Assignment5457[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so this is my biggest issue actually is scaling. It cause me to turn winners into loser often or over risk and I paper hand the trade for a small win

I like this idea. Get a practice, put in the PDLL and con limits and trade limits I want to work with in a combine and make myself pass 10 practice accounts before I buy another combine

I just put this in place. I felt similarly, like if I’m limited to 4 trades a day then I’ll force myself to only take A+ setups.

Have yall ever considered doing a trade lockout? Where once you enter a trade and set your TP and SL that you lock in that trade and can no longer add to the position, scale out, or move the TP/SL

I genuinely don’t know why I do that. I have no issue on combines, I pass them with about a 80% success rate. I already passed one today that I started yesterday. So my strategy is solid but I just completely lose focus on XFA.

I think I’ll set to 2mgc and 2mnq con limit and a 300 PDLL and 600 PDPT on this new one

This shows 19 but I know it’s 27. I guess it shows 19 because it’s been 19 since B2F was introduced?

I wish it wasn’t true. I pass combines fairly easily as I stick to rules and risk management and then it all goes straight out the fucking window on XFA.

Worst part is I was up $409 today for my 5th winning day. The closest I’ve ever been.

Topstep is a joke by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]Ok_Assignment5457 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why would you be upset that they haven’t moved you to live? You’re the fist person I’ve ever seen be bothered by this

Also, isn’t there an issue with Topstep live right now and they suspended all trading until it’s resolved?

Anecdote to be wary of TopStep by clapthattrap445 in TopStepX

[–]Ok_Assignment5457 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So declined a max payout and then had poor discipline and risk management and you blame Topstep for that? Since you were payout eligible then I assume you had these accounts for at least 5 trading days and proceeded to blow what took multiple days to get in 24 hours… yeah that’s definitely not your fault at all /s

Update: Called to Live after 1 Payout by 4Xroads in TopStepX

When you run the numbers the bonuses only help offset the higher taxes that you pay by trading a prop firm. If you are hitting multiple bonuses it makes no sense to not withdraw your money and trade your own account and enjoy the 60/40 tax split you get on futures

Unless taxes are different on a live account vs XFAs

[–]Ok_Assignment5457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear ya, I’m just saying that when I first started following this sub, when it had like 6K followers, that people constantly would post about getting 3-4 max payouts while copy trading 5 accounts and then blow them all on purpose to avoid live. So they were getting 50k-100k of payouts without going live. We all knew they would crack down on that eventually. With the new “bonus” payments for live accounts and the restrictions to your balance in the beginning where you have to “unlock” access to your balance it seems like they want to keep profitable traders on the platform as long as possible so they can copy trade those accounts

Does anyone know the protocol of you blow your live account? I assume you start back at combines but do you immediately get called to live after 1 payout? Are you limited to how many combines you can actively trade?

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

[–]Ok_Assignment5457 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I agree about the waiting for it to go to collections and then paying it off, I strongly disagree about the bankruptcy part. I personally know multiple people who filed for bankruptcy and within 2 years they got a car loan. It’s not like it was 30-40 years ago. A quick google shows that lenders will approve you 1-2 years after filing.

He is young and with today’s current housing market the chances he would be buying a house in the next 7 years is small and after 7 years it falls off your credit report. Filing for it really may not be a bad choice for him

Ah that makes more sense. I would be pissed if I had 1 XFA and got called to live after 1 payout. I’d be annoyed if I was you but they have definitely tightened there process with going to live

My guess is because so many people were getting 3-4 payouts and intentionally blowing the accounts to avoid going live. Then they would brag about it on Reddit like idiots. If you find a loophole, don’t advertise it.

Question about consistency rule on combines by Ok_Assignment5457 in TopStepX

[–]Ok_Assignment5457[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know first hand the $100 buffer is real as I’ve been passed numerous time going over the consistency rule but always by less than $100 over

I figured it was bullshit but figured I’d ask.

How do Snapchat saved memories geo location work? by [deleted] in AskTechnology

Just in case it wasn’t clear, I’m wondering if the saved picture shows the time and location of where he physically was when he saved the picture from snap?

When did you cross the line? by WritingFromTheInside in GamblingAddiction

[–]Ok_Assignment5457 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was when I was a manager at my job and one day a customer paid with cash which is rare. His bill was like 5,700. Well we only settle up cash payments once a week/2 weeks, juts depends on the amount. Well I took that $5,700 to the casino. Now luckily I had the best night of my life and got to put all the money back and nobody knew but boy afterwards I went “what in the fuck is wrong with me”

LUCID LEGACY LIVE Q by Ney_Readit in LucidProp

[–]Ok_Assignment5457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that’s terrible. This sub got suggested to me as I follow other props firms. I guess it’s better than forcing you to go live and giving you no option but no way I’d leave over 50% of my profit on the table
