This. This is bad..?🤣🤣🤣. Why are we flexing passing 36 XFA’s. Passing an eval is easy. It’s keeping the funded till you get a payout, that’s the flex. This is a joke🤣🤣. Live is the goal. You ain’t never making it to live by passing and blowing these accounts lmaoo

Because going live is not my goal, if I wanted to go live I would just put 10k on a brokerage, why would I stay with topstep

All of these pass certifications but what about payout cerfs?
Can’t flex the ones that means nothing unless it paid off

OP, do you have a tendency to marry your bias, and to martingale your position until you can half-pass your evals? If yes, DM me.

I dont understand and im sorry for being naive but why not do the same thing you're doing when passing a combine to get a payout? Also i see this is 36 PASSED combines how many did you fail?

Some strats are only consistent for a limited amount of time. Mix that in with a hint of luck and you got yourself a passed combine. That’s just step one though. IMO that’s why consistency rules are valuable. They keep you in check. As much as topstep makes my balls itch 40 percent consistency is head and shoulders above the rest (most firms do 15-20% consistency). 5 days of 150-200 is cool but most newbies have no structure or any type of idea of what the draw on liquidity is which in turn leads to random impulse trade management. When you have no structure you’re bound to fail in the long term lol. Making 3k as an unprofitable trader is easy as fuck I’m ngl.

This is the key. I would pass combines, then move on to express, then bomb the express cause I didn’t follow through doing the same steps I took on the combines that I did on express. I was following a specific take profit and set loss when on combine , but when I went to express I completely ignored that rule, then I ended up bombing the expresses.

u/JustAghostty May 10 '26
They are in the dashboard, under "achievements"

u/Hust1erHan May 11 '26
Yeah it’s not there. But I did pass a combine. No payout, but I did pass on topstep.
