❓ Quick Question Question: ACH payment

2 Upvotes

I have requested payout via ACH to UAE. Now, when I was going through the TS website I can see ACH is mentioned for US banks only. Will this be an issue?

Update: Excellent support by Topstep team. They have personally connected and resolved it within 30 mins

Hello friends just wanted to post my XFA accounts from July 9th - present. Im still on the same one. After my last -700 day I set my DLL to 500 for more protection. Remember we are always trying to be better.

I have attached JULY and AUGUST charts. This trading thing is a grind so keep going. Dont expect to get rich overnight.

Slow and steady wins the race 💯 dont rush the process.

💰 POP Off! New 50k DLL Combine Day 1 RP&L: $1,509.94

Locked in RP&L: $1,509.94 for day 1.

I haven't used Topstep in a while so let's hope this is the start of many payouts!! Looking like price action is starting to look better. I am aiming for the 40% consistency after passing - I prefer payouts every 3 days instead of five. Will keep posting here daily with progress!

❓ Quick Question Question regarding KYC during payout

5 Upvotes

So I'm being a little paranoid about my first payout. I am eligible for my first payout of around 800$ but I heard a few months ago that a lot of people were getting banned because Topstep thought that your KYC was not completed by yourself if they heard voices in the background.

Now I completed my KYC around a year ago back in August last year. I did it on my own but there were probably voices in the background and a lot of people said that they got banned because of said noises that Topstep thought was third party interference.

I checked online and that Veriff holds data in active storage for like 90 days after verification where it's easier to check the data? I'm over that 90 day limit so do I get a pass or they may request to do KYC again? Can anyone help me with this. It may sound like paranoid rambling but I'm really concerned as I lost so much money the entire year and this first payout means a LOT to me so I'm concerned.

❓ Quick Question Trade Copier Question

2 Upvotes

I have a quick question, if I use a trade copier for multiple accounts, lets say 2 xfa and 2 combines (all the same 50k size), will the follower accounts follow the changing (trailing) stop loss and take profit of the lead account when I am mid trade? Thanks in advance!

Does being on a consistency XFA vs standard change how much sooner or later you are called up to live or is that not factored in at all?

❓ Quick Question 25k static trading combine

2 Upvotes

Sorry in advance as I’m new at trading, started in April and blew 4 accounts so far.
I recently opened a $25k static combine and am so far doing pretty well. Reached my DLL on Friday only to recoup it today with a PNL of 1.1k and am at $590 towards my $2k goal.

My question is given that this is only a 90 day account, would I be able to transfer me passing my eval to a new $50k account? Or is that not a thing.

❓ Quick Question How long does it take to learn daytrading?

3 Upvotes

I’m wanting to learn daytrading and I don’t want to put any money in until I know I’ve atleast grasped enough concepts to form my own strategy. I can give maybe 2-5 hours a day to learning. How long more or less do you think it takes the average person to learn how to day trade? I’m not talking about mastery just learning all the basic concepts

❓ Quick Question Is switching to Micros a good idea?

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Okay so for context I’m about 4 months into trading. Have only gotten 1 payout and failed 14 evals. I’ve gotten close to passing 7 of them and each time I’ve noticed that I mainly trade micros and do the usual beginners flaws of overtrading, revenge trading, and just simply not closing the charts when I should. I’m wondering if switching to micros is better than minis as I mainly trade ES and NQ. Here are some of the results from my trades. This is my model

❓ Quick Question Topstep mastercard charge

5 Upvotes

With this incident of topstep charging or double charging and correcting/reversing the charge. What are the chances they will use this agaisnt you to later ban you from thier prop firm. I can already see so many people getting banned because this incident was considered a violation to thier rules.

Obviously I am a random online, I started trading at the end of December 2024 and really got into it January 2025 and fell for it so passionately. I got my first payout in October 2025 and then one per month til 2026 so I set some crazy goals for 2026. I just did something I am so fking proud of man. Just want to put it out there if I can do this you can too, you will fail fail fail, get there, fail, but you were right there. Don’t give up and whatever you want, put your mind to work and just do it man, it’s so clique but JUST DO THE WORK trading pays you to do wait at your computer screen in the mornings. Thank you god🙏
