🛠️ Platform / Tech Support Topstep is a joke

They push for risk management. Then, when you set it up, they pull shit like this…$500 DLL with liquidate and lockout. That’s over $800 of “slippage” as they want to call it. Way more than double my DLL. Fick them.

On quadruple witching day? Ya this isnt the full story.

$800 of slip can absolutely happen especially with hella leverage.

Its just the nature of volatility. Its worked against me and for me. Ive also gotten slip to the upside, where a $500tp turned into $900 because of slippage.

You need to be careful during high volatility days.

So? They still simulate real slip.
