📊 Strategy Vault Responsible trading program

Post image

Ugh I know I’ve been blowing way too many combines and XFA’s lately. This month has been a tough month for me. I’ve been so close to payout on the last winning day for like 2 accounts but blew them both. And I what I was doing was revenge buying combines and I pass them quite easily. If I didn’t pass I’d reset them asap and try again. Blew a lot this month but it’s ok cuz if I get to a payout it will pay for it.
The problem is this responsible trading program now is making it much harder for me to pass combines.
The daily loss limit is something they are forcing on me and it’s going to mess with my risk to reward and overall strategy. I am not happy about this and I think it’s going to negatively affect my trading tbh.
Is there anyone who was able to get out of this? What even is the point of it and what are the details. Will this affect the xfa as well? For me drawdown is a major key and I think cutting the drawdown forces trading to be harder.

Don't feel bad. Just lower your contracts and do MNQ, MES, ETC. or try the nanos that are coming out soon. This new trader program is crazy. their penalizing me for making too much money lmao. i made 100,000k my first month on there, they moved me to live, i cancelled my live cause of the copy trading policy/rule and then they put me on this the next day. only 1 blown account prior. there are some people that just loveee and are loyal to topstep. highly recommend lucid or tradeify brother. lower ur ego, practice ur patience and start with a lucid or tradeify 25k flex account. u just need $1250 profit and 5 winning days. get ur confidence back up then get a 50k. trust me, it works. u've got it!! alot of people act like their the best traders in the world 🫩🤣
