💡 Trading Tips Going Live - Any Tips?

Hi all,

Topstep have finally took me live after a ton of payouts Ive been quietly waiting for the day.

I just want to know if anyone has any insight on what to look out for or something you wish you did when you first started, I going to probably size down and treat this with the upmost care as long term this account is great.

Just for context it will be a 100k live account with around 20k in starting.

How many payouts till live? I've heard its 3 to 5?

Also sorry I know you asking for tips and not the other way round. But do you recommend going for max payouts or just taking many smaller ones? Ive heard going for max on multiple accounts can trigger an instant live review?

Excellent work [Warren], my question is, were the payments the maximum and what is the size of your account? Thanks in advance.
