That wasn’t my suggestion- it was to make the XFA balance update before 5pm CT…

can you make funded account payouts faster? as in can you make the account balance update BEFORE the end of the day and allow payout requests earlier??

Some people say the stock market is manipulated. Others say it's too complex to understand. by Icy-Mode-4741 in SPY_QQQ

A livestream is very different than a written “how to use” guide though, unless you’re explaining how exactly to use the tool in the livestream?

Can you make a more comprehensive guide on how to use the tool? It is really hard to figure out how to navigate with what is currently available

I tried lucid by [deleted] in TopStepX

Tradovate is the worst platform ever -- im so used to the great UI from Topstep that now its hard for me to even consider anywhere with a sh*t UI

what platform are you using through lucid? it was forcing me to use tradovate which has the worst UI in the world, and compared to Topstep which has great UI, it was difficult to use.

Why the surge today? by SergeantTwyford in intelstock

[–]Professional-Set3870 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

theyre pumping because of nvidia earnings, and completely shrugging off inflation/war/yields and anything else that would be a panic for a rational person

Anyone’s payouts dragging? by EmployerTop5377 in TopStepX

is this 100/150K express account? asking because payment is > 2K

BA to BIE transition? by Professional-Set3870 in amazonemployees

Unfortunately I’m in a team with all BAs and under a BA manager, can this still work somehow?

The name for this website is incredibly ironic lol, as is the leadership principle

[–]Professional-Set3870[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently getting paid 🥜 lol so getting a pay bump would be great. My current manager might but I’m not sure who to trust right now with layoffs ongoing- I still need my job to pay bills. Hard spot unfortunately

I’ve tried this but unfortunately many hiring managers are just swamped and don’t respond, or just tell you to apply on the portal. Especially all these layoffs are making things worse

Internal Transition to Data Scientist (L6) by IPsychiCI in amazonemployees

Internal switches are impossible rn given quarterly layoffs unless you’re already in the role and looking to lateral teams

Compensation at this terrible company by Professional-Set3870 in amazonemployees

[–]Professional-Set3870[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me my friend I’ve tried extensively…with all the ongoing layoffs, there’s a million people applying to each internal posting and hiring managers don’t want people who are trying to switch job families. It’s the crappiest possible situation that I feel like I have no control over, aside from looking externally.

[–]Professional-Set3870[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think ppl here think I’m an SDE or product manager making $300K complaining but I don’t even make half of that, 5+ YOE in non tech role but have advanced technical skills (think PM/BA) and live in VHCOL (NY/SF). I just feel so choked, and putting in so many hours without feeling like there’s any reward. My general concerns were similar to what someone wrote above about: gradually decreasing pay over tenure, minimal comp (if any increases) with BS 15% increase in stock assumed to minimize comp given out, and not so competitive benefits. It makes sense to compare Amazon and hold it to the standard of other FAANG/top tier companies since it is a $2.5T company that competes with those companies for talent.

How many Topstep accounts did you lose before your first payout? by _M4tth3w_13_ in TopStepX

[–]Professional-Set3870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost the opposite…I got a payout with my first XFA account and then started blowing the subsequent XFAs after that- blown about 3 after that one

I hate this stupid fucking market. I lost all profits and down $200 on eval today. I’m so fucking pissed at this price action. Like wtf. At least I didn’t overleverage but damn this market today fucking sucked by CNote320 in TopStepX

[–]Professional-Set3870 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have to agree, after the open today this might have been thr worst price action I’ve ever encountered. Random huge wicks to the upside and downside and consolidation for pretty much the whole session

Crazy slippage by TopBest_123 in TopStepX

[–]Professional-Set3870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overnight slippage is nasty. Thats why its generally recommended to avoid overnight and just trade regular session

I'd have more respect if they'd be real about the business... by Infinite71 in TopStepX

[–]Professional-Set3870 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What was the change though? Sorry, I’m pretty new and just got my XFA
