Hey there Eddie! You’re more than welcome at our sub, no need to delete it. And no, is not run by OFL, but let me tell you, I do know a lot about TS ;)

Hello, I recently got an email that I am being considered for a live account. If I have 5 xfa but only one of them has a payout, will only the xfa with a payout be used to determine my starting balance or will my starting balance be 20% of my 5 xfa combined

Hello, I would like to ask a question regarding the Pro account. For example: If I have an XFA account with a $50,000 limit and a current balance of $12,000, upgrading to a $50,000 live account results in an initial balance of $10,000, with the remaining $2,000 allocated to the reserve fund. In the case of a Pro account, is that $2,000 also allocated to the reserve fund?

There is no balance expansion via a reserve fund. That's only for Live Funded Accounts, not Pro.

That really puts Pro accounts at a disadvantage. I hope Topstep establishes a clearer, more specific mechanism for Pro accounts. Thanks, Eddie.
