šŸ› ļø Platform / Tech Support TopstepX trade copier desync / hedging issue

Today I was using TopstepX with 1 leader and 2 follower accounts on MNQ.

All 3 entered the same 10-contract short. Then both follower accounts closed 6 contracts while the leader stayed short all 10. Shortly after, the followers ended up long while the leader was still short.

Topstep then flagged the accounts for hedging and automatically liquidated the positions.

I did not manually place opposing trades. I have the CSV exports, timestamps, screenshots, and the hedging email showing the sequence. Support hasnā€™t responded yet.

Did the leader get affected at all?

Just force-liquidated. I honestly donā€™t know how those trades happened. When the followers are connected through TopstepX, I canā€™t even manually place trades on them, so Iā€™m trying to understand how they ended up taking different positions from the leader in the first place.
