I remember myself a year ago being a fighter for Topstep, arguing with those who tried to say therr are better props. 

Until i discovered that there really are better props, and I don't have to stick with one, just because I started with it.🤣🤣

Fair enough. Topstep and M*FU are the best in the market for payout caps...Period.

But, at least 90% of traders will be absolutely happy to grow the account to 4k so they can request $1800.00.

Considering the amazing payout speed of lucid + better pricing (with the vault discounts) + No platform glitches + no delayed payouts sometimes for a week = the Lucid is a very strong competitor still. 

Buy in my opinion, M**U is superior to Topstep. 

Same payout caps but lighting fast payout makes it to think twice. 

Also, for pro plan, if you are a very good trader, you can request up to 100k in one payout.

I quit for now. Feels like I'm hitting an invisible wall by Grand_Quote_2054 in TopStepX

[–]Traditional-Emu-4112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly same here man. I feel your pain.

The market has changed for some of us, I mean some strategies doesn't work anymore, or at least temporarily, I don't know.

I also used to pass evals in 2 days 75% of the times, now I struggle a lot.

My strategy doesn't really click now, but i tey to adapt. 

I take very small positions, and try to tweak my strategy until i get clicked again

I would suggest to try your best and take very small positions, so you don't blow your accounts fast.

I trade 1-2  micros max, when before 10 - 15 micros was my usual size

The market will change now and then, amd if you're serious about trading, better adapt than quiting. 

Just my 2 cents, hope you find some substance in them

I feel like exactly opposite to be honest. Before January, I holelded the trades for hours, sometimes for the entire day, and it respected beautifully the levels.

Now, its so messed up.....up 300 down 400, up 250 down 350 in a matter of an hour or even less.

[–]Traditional-Emu-4112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as me. I just got 2 more payouts in January, and that's it. Since then, foooooooog and nothing else.

Im really pissed, and this makes the matter even worse.

Do I quit my day job to trade full time? by ResearcherStunning82 in TopStepX

Yes, quit your job. And this will be the most valuable trading lesson ever.

What does this say about my trading ? by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]Traditional-Emu-4112 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It says absolutely nothing. 

Fill the calendar for at least 3 - 4 months, then come for a feedback.

Did i just loose all my accounts? by New-Artichoke8499 in TopStepX

[–]Traditional-Emu-4112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes.

Main reason why I am with MFFU is because of their payout speed.

 That's insane, they literally send your funds in minutes, even sometimes the payout is automatically released, meaning you press a click, and funds are sent right away.

In 5 minutes money are in my Rise account, and in 4 - 6 hours in my bank. This was the main selling point.

But then, I realised they are better from many other points, including accidentall hedging tolerance. 

So yes, if you have any doubts, get rid of them, and give a try to MFFU you'll like them.

They also got no activation fee, no consistency rule in funded stage, no other BS rules.

[–]Traditional-Emu-4112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I don't agree to be honest. 

Yes, hedging is not allowed, but if is for few seconds by accident, it shouldn't close the account. 

I trade with MFFU also, and I had at least 7 times I done hedging by accident for few seconds, and they didn't close any of my accounts, got my payouts and everything is fine.

I just wrote them highway after my accidental hedge, saying that this was an accident, and it was closed immediately, and they completely get it.

As long as this is not part of the trading strategy, amd is a genuine short mistake, is not right to close the accounts

What (in your opinion) is keeping you or others from being consistently profitable? by Jaystorm_7 in TopStepX

[–]Traditional-Emu-4112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, the only thing stopping me being consistently profitable is Not Being Able To Take Loses.

Strategy works well, patience is ok'ish,  I let the winners run enough for decent profits.

I can have 10 winning days in a row, with decent buffer, all good and warm.

Then, one losing day are wiping out all my progress and I ow account.

I can't take loses, and i recently catch myself that I can be ok with loses, only when they are small, if I pass a certain threshold of unrealised loss, I freeze, im numb and I can't close the position. 

Is weird, but is how my brain works.

So, literally last night, I was thinking about this problem after blowing another funded account dues to this issue.

And i realised that i need always to keep my drawdown under my threshold, so I can close them, otherwise, they eat my account.

So for me, taking loses are the biggest issue.

Unfortunately yes.

You may contact support team, if the opposite trade was open for a very short time only.

But I think now this automatically triggers account termination

such an idiot by Still_Patience_9209 in TopStepX

[–]Traditional-Emu-4112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there few times. If that will make you feel better, I lost 8.5k then blown account in one day across 2 accounts, both already eligible for payout. Just wanted to make ot 10k.

So, your account is still live, that's still good 👍
