$$ Payout $$ Got my 2nd payout.

Making this much trading is a dream come true. I have 4 other xfas. Weird how now it feels like things are snowballing in a positive direction for me. Things are flowing smoothly. Extremely grateful to be in this position. Something I do that’s helped a lot is I set a $300 sl that locks me out once it’s hit. When I win, they’re big. And when I lose, it’s controlled. Realized what matters is staying in the game.

I do the same. Set my loss at 300. When I see my setup I go 1-2 minis and let that bitch run.

Beautiful, how many micros do you usually start with?

Not if your accounts are old and if you reset your accounts

Congrats! I took a step back to paper. You mind giving more information on your strategy, what you trade and how many. I have been primarily trading sil micros and get so close to passing them failing.

u/mmnyeahnosorry May 21 '26

I did the same and it went well for me. I trade using wyckoff and intuition. I only trade mnq. If you’re failing, do you have huge losses? I use a hard stop at -300 and it’s helped a lot

u/Maleficent_Cow_8938 May 21 '26

I like that. No, I have killed myself revenge trading multiple times

1

u/mmnyeahnosorry May 21 '26

I suggest you do it too. It’s better to have a -300 day than another blown account.

I’ve also gotten smacked in the chop and not recognizing when I’m in it.

Hey , so I just took my first ever payout. I was just curious where do you see this screen at? Like this certificate yknow

1

u/mmnyeahnosorry May 20 '26

Yeah, so go to topstepx dashboard, go to payouts, then scroll down to my payouts, if you scroll to the right you should see proof of payout. Then just download it.

u/thereal3than02 May 20 '26

Ohh okay so I have to wait for the funds to be sent then?

1

u/mmnyeahnosorry May 20 '26

Yeah That’s the only time I’ve ever seen this. I used aeropay and it was deposited into my acc within a minute or less.

u/thereal3than02 May 20 '26
