@realmunotida @Topstep Cause literally every announcement they’ve been making lately is benefiting them and not the trader

@SteveTradesLive @Topstep Why are people hating on TopStep? I don’t get it

Responsible drivers get discounts. Why shouldn’t responsible traders? Add a DLL to your No Activation Fee Trading Combine, and your price will automatically drop at checkout. (Mind you, these are the lowest all-in prices we've ever offered.) If you were waiting for a green light to buy, this is it 🚦

@DodgysDD What do you think about this IVFG trade?

Honestly, if you were red this week trading iFVGs, you need to study There were at least 2-3 solid A+ setups a day and so much opportunity One of the easiest weeks in a long time Let this be a checkpoint

My biggest trade ever! Insane PHIL insane exit

As I started this year, and said... you don't need a lot, you don't need the whole move, you don't need lots of contracts. Build on being a minimalist... then aim High.

@hubermanlab People who have taken 5–10 g of creatine daily and trained heavy 3–4 times per week for 30+ years already knew it worked. Sometimes science takes time to catch up with real-world experience.

Those of us who have been taking 5-10g (20-30g in the “loading” (we now know not needed) of creatine daily and lifting low volume, heavy 3-4x per week for the last 30+ years will tell you: sometimes the science does catch up, and there will always be people who won’t wait.

@hubermanlab I feel like this could’ve been worded differently

got stopped out by a wick, then used it as a discount entry at C.E for a 200 handle win @I_Am_The_ICT

@owensd @KrysAlpine ok how much did they pay you

You buy a $50k account and run it up to max. Topstep has two options: 1. Let you just milk it for 5-6 payouts with the minimum profit, which costs Topstep $30k. 2. They move you live. If Topstep puts $50k in your live account (real money) and you continue yolo'ing and blow it over the course of a few weeks (the DLL is like $2k, or maybe you can get it expanded). Topstep is out $50k. Topstep is like... nah, I'm not risking the full $50k anymore. We'll still give you your $50k, but it's going to be locked behind profit targets. So you start with $10k. Topstep is now risking $10k of capital. You hit $3k profit, Topstep gives you another $10k. You then proceed to blow the account. Topstep is out $20k now instead of $50k. Or the $30k from your milking plans. Best case for you is you hit your $15k net profits, you get your full $50k from the XFA, Topstep is making $1.5k on your $15k payout. They are still out $50k. I don't know what is scary about what we've seen with Topstep. Lucid already has an escrow program that is worse. Tradeify's live move is even worse than that. TFD straight up is like no, we aren't paying you from sim money, we'll just move you live with a small capital start. Apex laughs itself to the bank as people keep blowing 20 accounts at a time. I will concede that the new live rules should only apply to newly activated XFAs (with the option a refund on a passed eval that hasn't been activated). If that's the scary part you're referring to, then ok. But everyone is out here like, "oh, my hard earned sim profits are mine!". No, they are not. All the firms that have a live program clearly state they can move you live at any time. Also most of these traders are just trying to game the system b/c you only need one max payout to break even on like 50 accounts, so they are just yolo'ing. Sure, the failed attempts are good for prop firms business, but if you want to be able to make money as well, the firm needs to have risk controls in place to prevent huge payouts from pure gambling.

These posts piss me off b/c they peddle their prop firm codes to everyone. There's a lot of stuff to rightly complain about Topstep, but this isn't it. Notice the lack of disdain for Tradeify and Lucid's live program. Apex's constant denials? Nope - they get paid from them.
