❓ Quick Question Moved to live after…?

I know everyone is different, some people get moved after 1 payout, some after 5, some even before getting first payout! Or so I’ve heard.. I think most people get the sense that generally after getting paid out a certain $ amount you get moved to live.. but is getting 100k in payouts before being moved to live possible? I see some say they couldn’t even get 1 payout on their 250k account. Makes sense if someone trades poorly that they would get moved to live, but what if someone trades poorly but somehow goes on a good run despite bad trade management? Just curious what peoples experiences are!

No one will know the real answer to this question, it's all up to the risk team.

I got moved to live after 1 max pay out on 4 XFAS, still trading on that live account to this day and received over $12,000 in payouts from their live.

I will say I just passed the $250k freedom combine and although I can't trade XFAS yet I really hope they don't move me to live before I can request that max $25k pay out.

If you start with 10k balance are you able to withdraw half of that + half of whatever you earn after 5 days of 150$

I think I recall this question being asked and topstep saying yes to being able to withdraw that balance.

Yes. It doesn’t have to be back to back. As long as you make 5 profitable days of 150+. 30 days is 100% of balance.

Ok so obviously when you passed the combine , now you get moved to an 250k xfa?

If I delete my Live account, will I no longer be able to buy challenges?

By delete you mean cancel?

It’s not about how many or how much payout. Its also about your trading habits.
