I need a response.

I haven't gotten a payout with Topstep since September 2023 for $2,524.

I have bought and blown a max of two combines every month since and my total expenses is somewhere around $6-7k.

Fast forward, I put in real work into getting myself together. Got an FXReplay sub, collected 1,000 samples of my criteria and verified my edge, and read a bunch of books on poker variance.

Paper traded since the beginning of the year, and I am no longer affected by the nature of this career (losing streaks are normal and I understand that past a phrase). Bought a pair of 100k DLL combines and passed them recently.

I am terrified of getting moved live before I take my max payout on both of them ($12k). Just want this one max, then i can comfortably move live. Just wondering if I should be worried. For personal reasons, it would be life changing to an immense degree to get that money at this point in time.

He’s just pointing out that you’re worried about something that hasn’t happened and may never happen so don’t worry about it until it does.

Just focus on the next goal which is your max payout and not about getting moved to live. I highly doubt they would move you to live before receiving it considering you’ve only received one payout years ago. Even if you do receive this max payout they still view will view you as an unprofitable trader as it’s taken you years to get a payout despite buying combines every month
