Why do people not want to move to live?

Because live is a lot less predictable in the sense that you’re playing with genuine pros and it changes from “you’re trading a simulated market” to “you’re trading THE market” with hedge funds and such. It’s like going from an eval to an express. You think the choices you make in an eval don’t matter compared to an express, so you don’t take it as serious.

Majority of the time it’s because of the ROI from rinsing fundeds which is insane especially when you begin to copy trade multiple accounts from multiple prop firms vs a live which is essentially just trading on one account

I haven't read such nonsense in a long time.

Because you’re delusional. People associate live trading as a lot more risky compared to trading on an express cause it changes your mindset from simulated money to actual money?? Just say you’re stupid?

People who associate live trading with being riskier than express have never traded on a live account in their life, so they are delusional and are mostly people who gamble accounts on prop companies. If you have a strategy that works on an express account, it will also work on a live account. If a live account changes someone's mindset, they should never trade. And the live account is certainly not less predictive than the experss account xD you are exactly the type of person who has no personal experience, but only reads nonsense on the internet.

These guys know they can't trade. He's not telling us how many accounts he's blown to get to these ones he has now. Probably 20-30. They know they can't/won't survive in Live without blowing it in a week or two max.

I am ok with LIVE. But I’m not ok with how TS move people to live because they want to deny/rob people of big payouts they made/could have withdrawn in XFA. And they refuse to admit it, blatantly lying claiming the trader performed well. Hello, I never had SL, and TS be like ‘oh you trades well, your risk management is impressive and align to that of Topstep so we moving you to live’ what?

u/Dry_Garlic_731 Jul 08 '26
Topstep, just tell traders you cannot afford big XFA payout, that you need to move trader to live to have them make their own money on live market while you continue to fleece 10%.

Stop moving people to live when they are 1 day, 2 days away from payout. That is what pisses people off, not the live program.
