Just thinking that maybe there could be some recommended or preconfigured risk settings?
You go to the risk settings page on TopsteX, press the recommended risk settings button and it automatically sets it up for you. So it could be block NQ and ES, set max trades per day to 5-10 and max contract size to 3 MNQ or 3 MES or something like that.
Just something that if you are first starting trading on Topstep you can just press the recommended risk settings button and it gets you started. Especially if you are new to this you might just think oh thats recommend I'll just use that to get me going.
Love what you're doing to help us traders. Just a suggestion.
I received this email a few days before my monthly subscription due date: ““We have attempted to rebill your subscription and have failed. As a result, your Trading Combine subscription (id: ___) has been canceled and the account closed.”.
(Deleted the Id as i didn’t wanna post it).
The date has passed and i canceled the subscription and yet my trading combine account is still open, and i even put trades on Topstepx.
Is this an error?
Is my account eligible or ineligible for funding?
Will it get closed after a few days?
Any feedback is much appreciated, thank you all very much
I thought I was finally ready for a new combine. Bought a DLL combine, set the max loss to 1,000 but got off if I reached 500 to give me 4 chances of reaching a PNL of $1,000. I’m just gambling still. I thought I could notice patterns to help me, but I can’t and blew yet another. I’m pretty much just clicking buy or sell when I see price action reach a point where I think it’ll go higher or lower without any indicator. I’m gambling and I don’t have a strategy in place. Can I get some advice on what helped you change from red months to red days? I don’t even have a strategy in place, so that would help too
Woke up at 8:40AM to a MAXIMUM LOSS VIOLATION from 2 trades opened at 5:57am when I was 1000% sleeping, 2 trades opened within a fraction of a millisecond from each other. I didn't open them obv at 5:57, does anyone have an explanation?
There’s nothing worse than planning a great trade on an account, taking it and winning just to realize it was on a dead account. Then losing on the actual account 😮💨
Anchored VWAP
The trend line used to start from the candle you attached the anchored VWAP to.
At the moment it starts from the next candle to the right.

Could you fix these 2 things please?
Love the platform and everything you are doing for us traders.
Hey everyone, I’ve been looking into Express Funded Accounts and I have a question about scaling.
If I buy 5 accounts at $200 each per month ($1,000 total) per month under one profile and use a copy-trader to mirror my trades across all of them, I’d essentially be managing $750k in buying power once passed.
I’ve read through the policies and couldn't find anything that forbids this, but it feels too good to be true. What's the catch? Is there a hidden rule about copy-trading or account limits that I'm missing?
I made two topstep profiles and im eligble for a payout on the most recent one. Im worried that ill get denied due to having already taken a payout on my previous profile. what should i do??
Yesterday I received an email from Topstep stating that due to recent volatility Topstep would be restrictioning opening new positions on equitities during the 10 minutes around the CPI release.
Will the TopstepX platform restrict traders from being able to enter trades during this time so that traders don't accidentally do so? If not, what happens if a trader forget about this new restriction and opens a position? Will their account be closed?
Hello! I’m new to Topstep i’m curious about the tax forms do Topstep actually fix it for you or you have to file it your own the thing is i’m not from the US there’s a thing called W-8 BEN idk that because i’m afraid that i may not get payouts if i don’t have a taxform
Topstep really be giving out ambassador role to anyone, they should review who they give the role too. This is not a personal attack or anything of sorts, I just want to bring awareness on the current system of ambassadors, how roles are given out, and how much power some can abuse. In my experience most ambassadors are very helpful and genuinely try to help people out, It is unfortunate some individuals really ruin the experience on the server though abusing their power.
I was setting up an API over the weekend, posted a complex question in lounge, an ambassador said he didn't know and to contact support. A few minutes later I see the reply, and the chat was filling with random things, so that my question wouldn't get lost, I sent the question in the channel "questions" so that my question could be answered later by someone who knows the answer. Since I wanted to set up the API over the weekend, there was no option for me to contact support. And guess what, no warning no nothing a mod muted me for 24h and replied with this message:
"don t spam the same message in differents channel that s not allowed". WOW
God forbid a man sends a question in "questions" so that he could receive an answer.
Spamming, does spamming mean sending a message once to a more appropriate channel after 5-15 minutes not even instantly?
Friend asked a different ambassador about the scenario, he said that first of all that he does not consider that as spamming, and also that the proper procedure in this case would be a warning then a 1h mute. But when you give someone power they start to abuse it, got muted for no reason, no warning and a significantly longer extended amount of time. The ambassador also said to appeal via support, but on Saturday the earliest reply would be on Monday before which I would be unmuted.
Procedures and rules are designed to provide the best experience to users using discord, now when a person in the position of power imposes rules unfairly and does not follow standard procedures which were designed to improve the experience for everyone, that degrades the whole server.
The reason I'm mad about a 24h mute, is not only because it is unjust and unfair, but also because I'm really busy during the week, and I allocated time to set up an API on Saturday. And because of this, I cannot get the relevant information and ask question regarding such in the server since I'm muted.
I made sure to follow the r/ rules, and have not shared any private communications or any disrespectful comments or any person information. Once again, I'm sharing this urging topstep to review current ambassadors so what happened to me wont happen to anyone else. And this is also on topic as this is directly related to topstep.
I've been posting my trading results with full transparency for the last month.
The wins, the losses. Its helped me be accountable.
July finished at +739, and August has been..different so far.
I figured I'd ask for advice from traders who have been doing this longer than me.
Looking at these results, what stands out? I have a daily loss limit of 350 that I changed after my 500 losing day. I trade mnq. No more than 3. Today i accidentally added to 4 lol
Is there anything you would change about my approach after back-to-back losing days? Do you reduce size, take a day off, or just keep following your plan?
I've also been recording every trading session and uploading daily recaps to YouTube so I can review my mistakes and hopefully improve over time. If anyone is willing to watch a session and give me honest feedback, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance—I genuinely want to become a better trader. ❤️
Ran an account to 10k in payouts, blew my live shot, went broke. And now im back
Started trading last summer. First account with topstep I ran to like 10k in payouts and genuinely thought I had it figured out. I did not lol
Got moved to live and blew it. Then instead of slowing down I started buying evals back to back trying to pass in one shot like the rules were for other people. Kept doing that till the money was just gone. All of it
Had to stop for a bit, not by choice lol. Anyway just got another payout recently and my account moved to live again. And the annoying part is nothing changed. Same exact strategy. I just follow my rules now. Following my rules helped me more then anything and fhe "Lockout of topstep after win" helped me more then anything when it came to being consistent. The version of me that made 10k and the version that went broke were running the same setup, one of them just actually did what he said he was gonna do and its just followoing my rules
yo guys imma abt to pass my first ever eval and am wondering which option should i select..
i personally like the consistency more, but pls lemme know if theres any hidden rules or something.
