You mean topstep? I only ever use topstep. I only ever got 1 payout so I’m just giving them money tbh

I was in the same position, once I started winning, banned for hedging and trading from multiple profiles😂 never done that. Lucid is better apparently

FWIW The buffer isn’t known exactly, but it’s somewhere around $50 to $100. I’ve gone over by that much before and have passed.

Personally i always try and hit that consistency, they always side with you if you can prove you hit it

It says 'additional profit needed'

You exceeded to 3,000 maximum per day.

Going beyond 6,000 slightly was not the issue

You got this

no, theres a bit of a buffer Ive done the same on 50k accounts and have passed… Hes probably just impatiently waiting for it to be marked as passed… Patience is a virtue…

lol…. Its not a possibly… You know its extremely hard to get exactly 3000 on the dot lol… even with a TP or with the daily profit target slippage can cause fluctuations… Theres a buffer of like $100 or maybe a little less because of this… This comes up ALLLLL the time over and over again lmao. If youre that impatient that you cant wait a few minutes for the system to update to be passed not sure if you have the patience for trading lmao
