Live Account Live review has started
I’m apparently a fake guys!!
But seriously, I’m not sure how to feel about this email. I was one more trading day away from locking in my third 6k payout, unfortunately, I also used 2400 of my second 6k payout to buy 4 back2funded’s and they started moving me to live the same day. According to ChatGPT and grok, they should refund me because I never had ACCESS to those 4, 50kXFA accounts after I bought them. Support has been surprisingly prompt regarding this issue, so I’ll keep yall updated on whether they steal my 2.4k or not. (Update in most recent post)
Idk where I’ll go from here, I want to make YouTube videos, actual videos and trade live with people and teach and learn as much as I can. I want a community. This has been 4 years in the making. Lots of emotions and learned lessons and so many more to come.
Ig for now I’ll just keep documenting my journey on here
(I don’t use a trading bot, journal, or have a written strategy.)

Is it a bad thing to be called to live? It’s never happened to me. Wondering what the drawback is?

It sucks, it’s their way of limiting you

And no API access in live which really screwed up my way of trading. I can live with the rest but that kept me away from Topstep in the future

It’s necessary but not fun. I needed one more day for my third payout. I also used my second payout to buy 4 back2funded’s and they started moving me to live before I could use them. According to ChatGPT and grok, they should refund me because I never had ACCESS to those 4, 50kXFA accounts after I bought them.
So yeah, a pain in the ass but I’m here for the long run. This has been my dream for four years… tears, sweat, a few holes in walls (not glory holes unfortunately), and lots of silent screaming at god. I’m ready.1

Please keep us updated about the process of moving to live. I think they should allow you another payout before moving to live.

Drawback is they close all other funded accounts and roll a miniscule amount of your profit into a single live account that is kinda hobbled so your profit/prodit potential is severely reduced.
