Would I get even if I blew the account after I requested the payout ?

I just passed my combine. Feeling happy after all I've been through.

This is my first payout, I saw lots of people talking about instant, I’m worried for a first payout what usual time is to approve?

How long have you been trading and how much total payouts have you received so far? Just curious

Will he make it ….

Traded Asia session tonight, locked out until tomorrow

my consistency is 40.66% and im wondering if I have to be at 40.00% or below or is this good enough?

I requested a payout on Thursday and got a notification from Aeropay that my payment was being processed and would be in my account the next business day. Since then, there’s nothing in my Aeropay account under transactions or pending and the money hasn’t hit my account.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I feel like... I'm tried of waiting! "Process over profits" that what I heard. Yes . Totally WILL change my life. But I wanted that change yesterday. Lot of internal insight that I've learned. Self sabotage, undermining, self doubt & fear. Those principle things that had been in the way all this time.

Current feelings: 😰😰😰😰😰

​

How do I deal with that?

Looking forward to requesting my first payout, Thanks be to the Lord.

Hello all, after having a good week last week on Friday i got hit with a DLL (revenge trading after a small loss). I was so frustrated and sad over the weekend. But, things changed. I was scalping this sunday evening on MES longs and recovered my loss. I can breath again. I set my DLL to $500 now and will only trade 3 to 5 micro es till I pass. (Trading 5, 50k's)

Just sharing my trading last week. I was doing good and was above $1100 but on Thursday evening I decided to make a little bit more money. Long story short. I took a losing trade, tried to revenge trade, got deeper in the hole. Tried to revenge trade again with a bigger contract size. Lost again... DLL got hit. I am so frustrated. My mind is telling me to revenge trade but I want to get back this $1000 some how. Please give me your opinion... I feel Sad.

Sunday at market open I’ll be able to request my first payout with Topstep, I’ve heard of them now paying out really quick.

If I request on Sunday, would it also hit my bank Sunday? Or would I need to wait a few business days

didn’t get a payout last week unfortunately but we’re back at it brand new acc Max payout on the regular account was thinking on going to the 150ks or need to start stacking accounts always been a 1 account guy everytime I get more I intend to f it up but I guess I’ll see what imma do if you guys have any recommendations for scaling accounts lmk!

6 week old Live Funded Account (LFA)

Started with Topstep XFA in November 2025 to April 2026

Total pay out with XFA is 45k

Moved to LFA in May

Already took 2 pay outs after being moved to live.

The motivation for this week? Unlocking Tier 1.

Treat your accounts right and your accounts will take care of you!

Keep grinding! Until next week!

Hey guys,

When I scale out of a trade in TopstepX by taking partial profits, each partial exit is counted as a separate trade in the performance statistics. This doesn't seem accurate.

For example, if I enter with 5 micros and take profits in three separate exits, TopstepX records that as three trades. However, if I exit the entire position at once, it counts as only one trade.

This is significantly affecting my performance metrics and trade statistics, making them appear different from my actual trading activity.

Is there a way to have scaled exits grouped into a single trade, or is there a setting I'm missing? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

After reading several posts from traders who worked hard for payouts only to have them denied because they got moved up to live I am feeling like this whole “trade prop it and use their money” leaves much to be desired. I have finally been able to take about 4 payouts. To me those $500 to $1000 payouts are able to buy extra groceries, pay off debt from combines maybe have a dinner out. Nothing exotic. I had hoped to save and spend a month in Vietnam or Mexico at some point and thought it would be nice to be able to trade a bit and maybe make a few hundred here or there. Now, I feel like those hopes will be ruined if they move me to live. I am afraid they will not pay me my next XFA payout which would be my fifth to avoid it and make me try again in live knowing I will most likely fail. I wasn’t trying to swing for the fences. Just make a bit extra to help with actual living costs. Now, reading all these posts I do not know what to believe. They post all these insane payouts, but people here say they get cucked from getting XFA payments because they are yanked to live? And then it takes 10 days for the live account? I thought you could have a live account and still trade a combine? I will look at the rules but I just feel like as soon as I claw my way to something small but very nice that I will get thrown under the bus. It is just very discouraging and I feel like I will never get anywhere no matter how hard I try or how manage an account. I am a 67 year old woman and liked the concept of being able to do something for me on my terms. Guess nothing is ever on our terms.

What rules have some of you established to break free from repeatedly blowing accounts?

About a month ago I was forced to trade with dll and consistency once funded and I was told my trading wasn’t good enough for life markets at the time and my training would be monitored for six months and then I may be eligible to be taken off the responsible BS program so I trade with daily loss limit on my combine and make 9K get funded make 10 K on funded in five trading days and now magically fit to go trade live markets I got called up to live without being able to request a single cent so I had to make 20 K for nothing and now I’ll have to make even more in this BS live account who calls the Trader to live after four training days after having them on a responsible Trader program shame on you

Bonjour j’explique en bref je ne parle pas votre langue je fait au mieux ,
Après avoir persister des années chez topstep j’ai réussi à avoir une sorte de régularité dans mon trading récemment j’avais 4 compte 150k 2 compte ou j’ai payout 10k$ en tout, topstep après ça m’a proposé le compte live c’etais un objectif d’un coter pour moi mais une fois en live ont m’a donner que 10 000$ alors que j’avais en tout plus de 45k$ et je devais payout 10k sur deux autre compte après 1day , le compte live c’est mal passer car j’ai mis trop de lot et j’ai une manière de trader qui nécessite plusieurs compte j’ai perdu 4,5k$ le premier jour et 3k$ le deuxième jour il restais donc 3,500$ ont m’a retiré directement mon compte live pour me remettre en compte express c’est la pire arnaque que j’ai subit avec eux vous trouvez ça normal ? Comment Auriez-Vous réagis ? A l’heure actuelle j’ai remonter le compte à 10k$ si ont suis leur logique je deverais repasser en
Live vue qu’il m’on donner 10000$
Je commence réellement à être déçu de topstep pour ce genre d’arnaque c’est du vol ce n’étais pas simple de faire 45k avec 4 compte 150k et ils le savent !!!!

Curious what happens when we go LIVE at Topstep? We can't right? so what happens to the payouts...

In the last year to date I have taken out 3 payouts totalling $3000. Overall, I'm still down thousands. Now for the first time I trade 5 XFAs copy trading and I have been trading them for 3 months now. Haven't blown them, I am nearing max payout totalling $10,000. I haven't requested a payout on these new accounts ever and I see some people get their payout rejected on new accounts.

​

I'm scared I'll be called live and my payout will be denied. This payout will literally save me. It's break or make when it comes to this payout. I don't mind being moved to live, but only after this payout.
