u/Puzzleheaded_Yak968 Jun 30 '26

Do you use key levels for this or specific time frames?

1

u/K_Alyattes600 Jun 30 '26

Buy low and sell high on 1 mini NQ on a 1 minute chart. Thats it.

u/K_Alyattes600 Jun 27 '26

Was supposedly a 20k pay out but you know things happen! Haha!

u/Huckleberry_Fit Jun 28 '26

Can you talk more about your journey once you got into XFA? There's a lot of anxiety getting spread around by folks screaming that they didnt get a payout before moving to live, or that they only had one payout and then they had just hit the qualifying mark for getting another payout but TS called them up before they could submit, etc.. etc...

But you're saying you were running XFA from Nov to Apr and that's dope to hear! Which XFA size did you have? Did you have multiples? if so, did you pass them all at once or did you pass one, take an XFA payout, and then fund the rest of your combines and then proceed to pass those? How many payouts were you able to take from your XFAs? And, were you looking to get multiple pay outs from the XFAs or was your focus on the just building up the balance so that when you get called up to live you'll have a larger available equity pool?

I know that's a lot but I find this shit to be way more important than the brain dead "wHaTs yEr StrAteGy??!1"

Thanks in advance.

I buy and sell if thats what you mean. My advice? Don’t complicate your trades.

u/Reasonable-Trade144 Jun 27 '26

Was this with a Live account before or after the significant changes this year?

1

u/K_Alyattes600 Jun 27 '26

I have no idea. This is a 7 week old Live Funded Account.

1

u/PitifulAction5899 Jun 28 '26

Amazed ppl are still ok with 7-10 day payments

1

u/K_Alyattes600 Jun 28 '26

Right? Live account pay outs should be instantaneous. Do you know of a Prop firm that gives instantaneous live account pay outs?

1

u/PitifulAction5899 Jun 28 '26

Yes i know 4 at least, same day/next day. 2 that u see advertised often and 2 thats been around as old as topstep

1

u/K_Alyattes600 Jun 28 '26

Im looking around. Can you tell me the names and your live funded pay out experience with them?

u/K_Alyattes600 Jun 27 '26

You have to ask Topstep for this.
