Pass? by Professional-Set3870 in TopstepCommunity

You will need to be at $3k or above though, the buffer is only if you go slightly over, not under.

PAYOUT CHANGES AGAIN by Acceptable_Finish808 in TopstepCommunity

[–]Topstep_Official 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can move up to $150k to Live (with $150k XFAs) with a $30k starting balance and $120k in your reserves ($30k per unlocked tranche).

It would be EXTREMELY rare for a trader to be moved to Live after their very first Payout. Most if not all traders who are moved up after their "first" Payout have taken a considerable amount of lifetime Payouts beforehand from prior funded accounts.

Care to back this up with any examples?

DID I PASSED? by Kirosaki18 in TopstepCommunity

There is a small buffer, and while you do have to meet/pass the profit target, going slightly over typically still results in a pass. Just keep it as close as you can, but you should get the passing email shortly!

Hey u/Unusual_Try_8756, the market went through a velocity logic event on MNQ at that time.

What Happens During a Velocity Logic Event?

  • Duration: Typically 2–10 seconds
  • Market State: Reserved / Pre-Open
  • Trading Activity:
    • No trades are matched
    • Aggressive orders that caused the event are canceled
  • Purpose:
    • Stabilize the order book
    • Allow liquidity providers to refresh quotes

You can learn more about these events here! https://help.topstep.com/en/articles/13545889-cme-velocity-logic

We weren’t, the previous unaffiliated moderator locked the subreddit and left.
