Anyone else on a losing streak this week ? Sigh.
I never get a payout. I always blew my funded. I don't want to spend another money as I have too much debt. I don't get paid enough at work. My life sucks so bad. When I thought it's finally working, market humbled me right away. It's so depressing to be poor.
Making this much trading is a dream come true. I have 4 other xfas. Weird how now it feels like things are snowballing in a positive direction for me. Things are flowing smoothly. Extremely grateful to be in this position. Something I do that’s helped a lot is I set a $300 sl that locks me out once it’s hit. When I win, they’re big. And when I lose, it’s controlled. Realized what matters is staying in the game.
hit on “show closed accounts”
it’s the accounts that closed and passed all together. wondered if 125 is a lot lol. thank you for your attention to this matter
From $500 to go to passing a combine to this after some degen trades. Can I turn it back around?
I have to have 50% or less of total profit for my best day right?
My best day was $1160 pretty sure thats less than $1500 so why am i sitting at 53%? Today i made $1k, am i doing something wrong? Did i make too much?
3 days into the express funded account.l x5 accounts
I could add to my position here but I'm just going lock 200pts and see if there is a clean BOS before a pull back......a 400 pt move over night would be nice.
So far I'm up 1:2. One little mini, boring but efficient.
After trying out multiple different strategies to find what suits me as a trader, it’s been a delight locking in on this 1m price action strategy by jjsimon. I trade it abit differently with low risk though. But it helps me be wrong instantly. I even close trades early when they are going against me, which I have never been able to do before. (Yes i was a trader with no stop loss and ruined myself with DCA, but its super unhealthy specially with ADHD)

4th day on this combine. Building discipline and patience. (Asia and London only)
Just requested 2,000 still waiting, but just caught that buy during Asia session
I’m honestly beyond frustrated with Topstep right now and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.
I had just completed the requirements for my XFA payout. Once I hit the final winning day requirement, I intentionally stopped trading for the day because I didn’t want to risk messing anything up. I walked away from the account and closed all positions specifically so the final winning day could register cleanly.
About 5 hours later, I received an email from TopStep saying my account had been closed.
I was completely confused because I knew I had not placed any additional trades. When I reviewed the trade history, there was a completely random trade opened almost 2 hours after I had last accessed TopStep. The position was then apparently held for 2 more hours until it breached the account limits and caused the account to fail.
What makes this situation even more frustrating:
- I intentionally stopped trading to preserve the funded status
- The trade occurred long after I stopped using the platform
- The trade behavior doesn’t match how I normally manage positions(averaging 4.5 minutes per trade)
- I have browser logs showing I was not actively using the platform at the time this trade was entered/managed
I provided this information to TopStep support, but they told me they would not accept or consider the proof I provided because they have their own software. They would not provide any sort of evidence beyond just stating that they can see the trade came from my IP address.
At this point I’m asking:
- Has anyone else experienced phantom or unauthorized trades?
- Has anyone had session/security issues with TopStep?
- Has anyone successfully escalated something like this?
It’s incredibly frustrating to complete payout requirements only to have the account closed because of a trade I genuinely do not believe I placed.
I’ve been trading on topstep since the end of April. I’ve gotten 10K payouts so far but blown numerous XFAs usually by trading emotionally. Yesterday my gf and I got into and big fight and I traded after and basically this happened. I’m wondering if I am able to salvage these. Also any tips regarding controlling emotions while trading are appreciated.
Eveything was approved and finalized but Funds sent isn’t checked and taking longer than usual I’ll wait a little longer but getting worried

80 hours/week summer job. If I can do it so can you
Why is it saying I’m 53% over when I’m really only 35% so that’s under 40%. Or do I have to wait till tomorrow for it to correct itself.
Anybody caught this? I know i said i wouldn’t trade today but its rare i get back to back A+ setups. This is my 2nd 1k day, Im one absolute snipe of a trade away from being funded. That means i need to be extremely cautious from here on out.
