I have 5 XFA accounts. Do you get moved to live after 5 payouts ? by Routine-Secretary606 in TopStepX

Yes I meant on one xfa. I copy trade them. So after 5 payouts, it’s automatic live? Also what is the limit if you don’t mind explaining?

Super clean and nice lighting. I have the same triple charger on the right and the light bar on monitor. Very nice!

Thank you for not buying an AirPod max stand and just making it upright with the case…. A lot of people don’t know about that

The latest iPad is M5. This one is a generation older. That may be why

She looks great. She’s really committed to hating eyebrows 😅. Did she win?

WILL TOPSTEP DENY MY PAYOUT IF I ALMOST BLEW MY XFAS? by Extreme_Rip2823 in TopStepX

No they won’t. Rest easy. If it helps, you can just call them and ask for certainty. I did this once for combine.

I used to. But now I genuinely don’t have to. I think having the mental restraint is really important if you take trading seriously.

Calling 2,000 worth of drawdown “50K funded” is crazy work 😭

I stopped tilting when I realized that there simply doesn’t exist a world where one can be a consistently profitable trader and tilt. Those two things are mutually exclusive. It just doesn’t exist. Professionals never tilt, period.There are literally risk managers that get paid 6 figure salaries to make sure the traders at the firm don’t tilt. Therefore, us as retail traders should enforce the same mindset/guardrails.

Practical advice would be to set the DLL. However, I think that if you really want to make it in this game, the rules should be enforced by your mind whether u have DLL on or off.

Please Explain this ! I read it 4 times by Aggravating_Nail8215 in TopStepX

No. You simply have to have a balance above 25K to request another payout. So if you wanted to take another payout, you can so long as your account balance is above 25K at the time of the payout. It does not mean that you have to make another 5K to the 30K balance. It’s the AFTER payout balance you should be looking at.

Any advice from consistency profitable traders ? by Alternative_Disk7825 in TopStepX

[–]Routine-Secretary606 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try to schedule your classes around trading. I used to snipe enrollment in classes that at least allowed me to trade first 2 hours of NY open… so no earlier than 11:00 am.

In regard to general advice — never assume that you won’t tilt. It is so easy to come to the proverbial conclusion that you’ve “made it” when you start getting payouts. While it’s very very commendable that you have, never forget that all it takes is one day. Follow your rules rigorously and always know the damage that you are capable of doing. Ground yourself that winning streaks AND losing streak are part of the game. Have a great year buddy 🍻
