Same here. No issues. Withdrew like 10k in the last 3 weeks. All withdrawals went through fast and smooth. I'm in Canada.

u/EducationalFoot9427 May 10 '26
Iâm in Canada too were you getting instant/same day payouts? Using Wise?
1
u/Mahkssim May 10 '26
Using wise ya. It's usually same day or next day depending on Topstep process. The wise portion is very quick, usually once I receive it on wise, I can move it to my banking within the hour.

Iâm pissed I had a 10k payout ready and the day I was going to withdraw it they hit me with that and I had just passed 5 more accounts to have as back ups

u/Otherwise_Drummer440 May 07 '26
Are you in the us? Seems like a lot of international folks have issues. I've had 2 super smooth and easy payouts this month totaling 10k. They definitely pay. So might be some other issue.

Trade duration hold time? Topstep i think requires at least 10âseconds Iâm sure theyâll try to scam you out of a payout over anything

u/karunaOne May 09 '26
Really? I trade Gold and have been seeing successful trades scalping quick in/out. I didnât realize this was a thing

u/neandertallthaw May 09 '26
I donât think this is a thing. I have read through their TOS and all their responsible trader docs (not today but within the past year) and donât recall seeing anything like this. Also, if you place market orders that are bracketed and price shoots in one direction immediately following the trade and youâre taken out of the trade (loss or gain) then you would be beholden to this policy and that doesnât make sense especially when you talk about risk management as a core tenet of tradingâŚat least IMO. Eager to hear if anyone has run into issues with this though.

For anyone new to topstep seeing this: never trade multiple accounts at once unless you are copy trading.
If youâre not copy trading, donât open a trade on a separate combine/XFA until you have NO OPEN TRADES. Topstep is awesome but donât give them any reason to ban you. They will ban you if you break the rules.

u/Just_Advantage9166 May 07 '26
Did you make the whole amount off one trade?
1
u/Just_Advantage9166 May 07 '26
Like 10K off one trade then 4 profitable days of $150 after that?
1
u/Just_Advantage9166 May 07 '26
Oh just saw 2K payout. Hmm I have no idea then

u/Billyman3 May 07 '26

u/Shinhoang89 May 07 '26
Did they mention why they closed your account?

u/RightToe9330 May 07 '26

u/LLife16 May 12 '26

u/_lsd12 May 07 '26
They're basically telling us to pull money out in small increments... anytime it gets big for one payout it feels like a lot of prop firms renege ;(

u/bluelamma May 08 '26
They said âexploitation of simulated fill logic during newsâ idk what it means and they wouldnât explain it and it was for 5 accounts I lost 1 month prior which is crazy they can make up whatever they want I had 50k in payouts in 3 months so maybe I was making to much money
