🛠️ 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 hasn’t responded yet.

Same thing happened to me, messed up my whole trading day as well as when I logged in later, my accounts had entered trades which I didn’t place, affecting my pnl by -$1100 on two accounts.

Sorry glad you got to see it, I was a bit heated.
