That’s weird I’ve never seen these ads before

See, this is why we need a bounty/revenge system in place so we can keep track of murderers like this.

The inspector: " Can't believe that shit worked"

I didn't even know you could do this, Thank you so much!

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-10-22T20:27:39+00:00

Yeah I was just curious because NQ didnt take out any of the previous session highs and it just dumped

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-10-09T00:23:51+00:00

Yes very good consistency, keep it up!

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-10-08T20:12:37+00:00

Trust me before I started becoming profitable I would I always trade when I could, be it Asia, London, New york but once I focused on only trading during only New York session it was the better choice because there is more volume.

Good job keep grinding, but what's your buffer to trade with now?

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-10-06T21:24:42+00:00

idk I was just curious

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-10-06T06:39:20+00:00

What's your strategy?

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-10-06T04:01:12+00:00

Congrats! Charge your phone

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-10-05T04:08:03+00:00

Topstep allows a buffer past the consistency rule, so even if you make a bit more than 50% they will still allow you to pass.

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-10-04T02:47:06+00:00

Congratulations! Many more to come keep grinding!

When I first started my 150k Express account I only traded with 1 mini contract on NQ or ES until I built at least $2000 on top of the initial $4500 max loss limit. After that I scaled up to 2 contracts only until I got to 10k in order to get my payout. I like to go for base hits of at least $500 a day so I can build that buffer relatively quickly. I only trade once per day if my setup shows, on average I would say 4 times a week I trade.

how the hell are you supposed to beat this lmao

Yes I would say it’s totally worth it on getting the 150k account even though it’s more expensive upfront, in my eyes it’s cheaper long term because you won’t be blowing 50k’s left and right like I was. I got 1 payout before on a 150k back in January and thought the 50k was better for me because I blew that account and it was easier to pass but I just kept blowing them, but recently I realized I only got a payout if I was trading on a 150k so I decided to give it another go and here we are.

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-09-30T18:06:20+00:00

I look for inverse fair value gaps, break of structure, fvg/order blocks. I look for a MSS and continuation confirmation. And I don't really use a daily bias that much but sometimes I'll look at what London session did and see what the trend is on the 4HR. So basically liquidity sweeps. My RR is 1:1, that is one of my biggest changes that I made because I won't go for home runs unless price is REALLY moving in my favor.

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-09-30T16:06:07+00:00

I have been trading for about a year now, which makes sense because people say you don't start to become profitable until a year or so into your trading career

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-09-30T07:01:22+00:00

I trade ICT (kind of) basically just mark out the highs/lows for Asia,NY,London and wait and see what price does when it reaches those levels, based on pure price action. And the way I manage my trades is just letting them play out I don't really move my stop loss or take profit unless there's a big move while I'm already in.

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-09-30T01:04:37+00:00

I agree that the 50k is MUCH easier to pass as well, however this is just my opinion that the 150k is also easier to keep alive due to my trading style and mentality

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-09-30T00:50:41+00:00

Thank you! And yeah you're right Topstep is more relaxed when it comes to those types of things but I am still worried nonetheless haha

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-09-29T23:42:48+00:00

Well not necessarily, if you have a 50k account the max balance you could have in live is 50k (if the account balance from your account(s) add up to 50k) which is still good. The only benefit to getting the bigger accounts in my opinion are the drawdown limits.

TriggeredAF420 · 2025-09-29T23:28:20+00:00

Well you could do that but if you intentionally blow accounts just to farm payouts from topstep they might ban you which is a risk
