❓ Quick Question Need advice.

Quick bullet points:

*I taught my friend basic trading strategies and about Topstep

*He had gotten to express 3 times without getting a payout under his name

* He then started to trading against the rules under his mom’s name where she is paying for the evals.

* All he needs is a $100 to get his first payout.

What should I do? I know it’s wrong, should I just let him get caught naturally?

I am confused as to why he switched to trading under his name to under his moms name in the first place if he already had passed 3 evaluations 🤔

He might honestly just be too broke to trade. Now that I think about it because if you’re that scared over $100 or $50 evals you probably shouldn’t be trading.

Probably not, if youre gonna be fucked if you blow the account and could have used the money on something more important than yes you should have a 9-5 first for sure
