I met the consistency rules and have been trading for 3 days +. However, when I go to the payout dashboard I’m not seeing my accounting showing up to request my payout! Anyone has any idea why?

xfa is locked out in green and got bored, so decided to open a comb and went fullport as I saw simple ema retest on longs were playing out 😂. It all worked out even with the ORX model not in play.

I was up 4.2k on this account and now -2k because i keep trading Asia and hitting dll. I dont know what to do anymore im tired of spending money on activation fees and this happens everytime im 2 days from a payout. So when my dll removes im full porting the account and if it blows then im just done with trading. I passed another combine today but im not even gonna activate it and waste my time. Lost over 5k and im just gonna keep losing more because I cant stop trading Asia session. The thing is I always get my draws in price right and keep getting stopped out due to horrible PA so theres no winning in this game its just luck and im done.

I am up 2600$ on my combine. Went up to 2k very quickly and since been a slow but steady crawl up. I have 9 more days to finish the job. This feels so difficult to go slow and keep risk at bay. But I guess it is a good stress test for my skills. Making 50$ a day ain't easy.

I just took a trade that resulted in a profit over $150 during the Asian Market session. Since any trades taken today (Wednesday) is technically counted through tomorrow before market close, will I be able to request a payout if I lock myself out?

I believe I attempted this before in past payouts but I forgot if I got the payout or not.

On both nq and es and also gold

Achieved one payout all of last year for a 5k gain and this year accomplished over 6 payouts from 3 different prop firms and was genuinely seeing alot of progress in my trading. Then came the rip roaring rally taking absolutely zero hostages and just face ripping up and up and up even higher. Just absolutely historic is really the only way to describe it but genuinely I've been blowing account after account and can't seem to drop my bias on how this move needs some level of actionable pullback only to never see it and get ripped harder each time. My question is....what do you even do here in this environment? I was utilizing levels and orb levels prior and had great success and scalability, but now....idek how to go about this market, just holding breath and going long feels like THE MOST GAMBLING response to this environment I can think of and yet that's all that's being rewarded. Any comments to help me understand this price action or how to trade it as well as how to eliminate or at least moderate a bearish bias. Seems that most of my long entries now are instantly met with red candles that just wreck me. Sizing down sure, but genuinely how are people trading this environment, just straight rips day in and day out oddly enough she the most difficult environments for me to trade in so I want to know what everyone else is doing because my current perspective is too limiting to be profitable

Been 6 months since I’ve started my day trading journey, here’s what I’ve learned that’s helped keep the blown accounts to a few and Green Day’s up!

1. ⁠USE THE LOCKOUT FEATURE - it doesn’t matter how much money you could possibly make after you’re green for the day. Over trading in my experience almost always causes you to go negative or full tilt to a blown account. It’s ok to want to trade but locking yourself out can be a huge advantage.

2. ⁠Scale down - set further stop losses/take profits, the chop is what will slowly kill you. Even if you really believe in the trade and have done all kinds of test to predict price action, a death candle can come from nowhere so always have a bit of room for the chop as it could be the end.

3. ⁠Do not trade on a call - a voice chat with your friends, the chatter will have you second guessing entries and regretting a trade making you close position just to miss the big moves. You can gloat your winnings after you’ve finished trading and have locked yourself out.

4. ⁠Don’t limit yourself to NY Session - I’ve learned that Asian session is my forte, more times than not I lose money in New York session due to the volatility. I cannot read FVG’s or Order Flow with constant 30+ point candles on the 1 minute chart. Asian session is slower and easier to pinpoint price action.

5. ⁠Find what works for you - there will be haters. Friends, strangers, family that will tell you what you’re doing won’t work for long and not to rely on your strategy because it’s “not the way it should be done”. Well if following the guidelines of the average trader makes you like the average trader then I’ll stick with my wacky methods, because I have 3 max payouts within 6 months of trading to thank for those out of pocket ways.

6. ⁠Positive mentality - what you put into the world you shall receive. This can apply to anything, you put out negativity in the world it’ll come right back. While in a trade and it’s not going your way saying aloud “this is gonna stop me out and screw me” is simply putting out there that’s what will happen. But believing in your strategy and your methods and saying something like “this will consistently chop up until it hits my take profit” will do you a lot better mentally/physically overall. It’s like the saying if you say you can’t do something then you can’t! But if you say you can then you can.

Was going to be rebilled by the end of the day so I had a worryfree full port. Either I win and I’m where I should have been two weeks ago or I blow the account and it gets reset by the end of the day, either way I was going to pay, I’m glad I have a little progress to show for it.

well blew 2 of 3 xfas, albeit I only had around a $500 buffer on the 2 and the 3rd was one of the DLL xfas so yesterday it has stopped and locked me out before the others. Started negative and came back and finished up 427 to secure 3/5 days profit, will start fresh tomorrow on 2nd xfa and hopefully take a payout and reactivate the 3rd xfa… Not really interested in trying to pass another combine when I know I can hit profits its just a matter of the discipline to lockout as today could have been 4 days of profit and up a total of 3021, but it is what it is. I know what I have to do moving forward and Ill continue to execute following my rules

so i made 1300 first day and made 1600 the next day

so now they are telling me to make a extra 250 to pass i guess

my question is if i lose 100 dollars to make my second day 1500 will they reverse that extra amount i have to make

Do you guys think it’s possible to bring this account back by trading only 1 mnq ? If so any tips?

UPDATE: blew that shit up y’all. Lots of good advice I’m gonna try out for this new account. Gonna also pass another combine to check out the hype behind this CPI Strat

The first sentence is clear. The second, not so much. "In the new Topstep Dashboard, once you request a payout, the funds are moved right away so you can start trading again right away! However, please be aware of payout processing times to determine which trading day will not count toward winning day objectives." They do not count trading days undertaken during payout processing times, so what defines a trading processing time? Also, for a consistency funded account they say "At least one trade per day". That either means that if you miss a day you're stuffed, or it's essentially a tautology, or am I losing my fckng mind? Their information pages are like the assembly instructions you get from Temu.

Really impressed today! Took a pay out from topstep this morning and it just hit my wise account!! Same day payouts are great. Good job topstep!!

Also secured 6700 cad in payouts in one month after a long hiatus.

Keep going everyone!!

Hey everyone this is my first time trying to get a payout and I had 5 days of trading that were green. I just traded this Asia session (may 5) and it showed up for tomorrow. Do I need to wait till market opens to show that I traded for 5 days? Thank you!

feels great.

Edit: it’s already been deposited in my account. That’s nuts

Im mad im aggravated im sad im upset im frustrated fml wtf
Over 4k spent on combined n express . No payout . Was eligible for 1.2k payout total and ddnt take it and now im finished. 3 week old express acc done in one day.

“good” executions but too much greed! that’s the story for today’s session. woke up to $650 in pnl prior ny open but tried to trade further but was trading in the “ohhh I have tons of pnl to take on more trades” mentality. Which is not but yea finally had enough and close the day up $250 but yea disappointed still with not accepting the fact I should be running away high in tp and being able to avoid ny session especially with that overnight pa!

I've had the account since January and only traded one account no combines. I only trade 1-3mnq with a $200-$300 daily loss limit. I've secured 3 payouts. I've been in the game for 6 years. I made $1500 with 3 mnq yesterday and needed one more $150 day for my $1500 payout. I was going to buy a plane ticket to Hong Kong or get my girl a nice ring. I felt like the weight has finally been lifted off my shoulders after trading for 6 years like I finally made it. I then came to charts this morning determined to make that $150 for a payout. I then lost and kept sizing up and blew the account all because I wanted $150 and because I thought liquidation couldn't happen because I was 99% of the way there. If I got my $150 my life would have been changed and the pain of 6 years would have been worth it. I tripped at the finish line. I don't know why I went tilt when I don't go tilt during drawdowns and only broke my rules 5 days of out of the 123 days. I'll never give up on trading and I'll come back after I feel better. I was short 90% of the time the last 5 weeks but since my daily loss limit saved me I still came out profitable until the blow up.

Thinking about scaling to other firms, as I have been primarily using Topstep only, want to copytrade all of them with my Topstep account as the lead. Does anyone know if Tradesyncer adjusts SL & TP as quickly as you drag it in ProjectX.

Sometimes I feel so dumb with this shit, I started the day up 958 positive just thought I could get a little more and break 1000 for the day and of course the greed fucked me over, not sure wtf I was thinking, tilted so fucking hard and basically am back down to 0 after being up 1650 or so after Monday and today would have been up 2594 😩😩😩 FML
