TopData

TopData started as a personal project to stop blowing funded accounts before getting a payout. I wanted to track my trades properly, but I could not justify spending the cost of another combine each month just to understand why I was failing. My goal is to help you identify your own expensive habits so you can succeed too.

@everestchris6 Scraping Google Maps for listings without a website - and how do you send it to them? Yeah I'll wait...

I built an openclaw tool that automatically builds websites for leads it scrapes from google maps, auto-records the website as a video, and sends it to them as a cold pitch... It literally screen records the website that was made for THEIR business, so the lead will feel it's personalized This is an all encompassing machine to sign clients and fulfill all in one loop Reply "video" and I'll DM you a free prompt to build it yourself. (must be following)

@TraderHooligan Great to hear you're finding it useful!

@mytopdata Yeah don't let it get to me. It's in hindsight and was able to get paid. Can always manage things better. Appreciate the trade journal. I like it.

Watching the tape at open last night I was thinking to myself "This is pretty violent PA" should have held the runner

@TraderHooligan Don't you love it when that happens? Key is not letting that "miss" affect your execution on the next trades.

@mytopdata yup same here

@Mujibtrades And this is why they made the focused trader program

Full transparency, I’ve been trading like absolute trash for the past 2 months all because I want max payouts, and it’s been very tough mentally for me, so I think it’s time for me to step back and go to paper trading. Peace ✌️😭

Never treat trading like a job, where you feel the need to trade all the time. It isn’t equivalent to a 9-5. Unlike mundane jobs, the output (market’s reward) is not correlated to your efforts. The market is indifferent to your efforts. I.e. most of the time, no trade is the best trade. If anything, the job isn’t to open and close trades, but to stay in-tune every single day.

Is this real life? 10hr trade hit exact TP before dumping 70+pts. Might buy a Powerball 😂

@TheQueenofKa @Topstep Which step is it stuck on? Risk or compliance?

@mytopdata @Topstep 555 I feel super special now! 😂😂😂

Dear Journal. The year is 2026. It has been 7 days since I requested my @Topstep payout. Climate change is starting to take effect. Icecaps are melting. I even hear rumor that GTA 6 was coming out soon. If anyone is reading this I have long passed by now, Chicken has feasted on my remains and is now roaming the wilds. If someone sees MP tell him to send my family my payout when it comes and that I always kept jabbin. Signed, Your friend, Araya🫶 Disclaimer: I have not raised a ticket because it say up to 10 days. I am a little surprised however how "Gumshoepickleprop" pays out in 37 minutes and Topstep takes longer than the life cycle of a Lunar Moth. 🦋

@_not_a_fish @MichaelPatak Once you have a $50k balance ($10k each account) I would certainly think they would take you live. Seems like "max payout" is a thing of the past.

The hardest part of this “Road to 25K payout” series is patience It is going to stretch me and force me to grow more than ever I would love to take a single payout before I spend months grinding, but I’m worried about being sent to live @MichaelPatak I am curious about @Topstep ‘s transfer to live accounts. Can I with 100% certainty take 2 payouts on each of my funded accounts before being sent to live? I don’t want to take a small one, work for a few months, then have my progress locked away please tag him

@pip_raider I figured you had already been down that road but just wanted to make sure! At this point just go to Mexico and do Ibogaine therapy - it seems to help many things 😂

@mytopdata It's a systemic dysfunction, theories that are promising are itaconate shunt (body stuck in innate immune system), GPCR autoantibodies. Neuroinflammation is a big symptom as well as small fibre neuropathy followed by MCAS (mast cells going haywire)

I'm in another ME/CFS flareup. The new therapy IVIG worked for 2 months, but now I feel like I'm slipping back over the last week or so. Daylight sensitivity, noise sensitivity, crushing fatigue even after 12 hours sleep, pain and electricity-like sensations in my legs accompanied by weakness. After a glimmer of hope we back to square one 🙄 The fight continues. And I'm considered a mild/moderate case. It seems to be an autoimmune condition that is as yet unidentified without any decent biomarkers except T cells and my IgM levels. No one knows what to do with us. No clear treatment, no cure, minimal hope. If I was a depressive person it would be enough to just say fuck it and give up on everything. I can see how this condition leads ME/CFS people to choose assisted dying. A disease that doesn't kill you, just robs you of social interactions, sunshine, music and being able to take care of yourself without severe repercussions in the aftermath. I'm an eternal optimist and someone who is endlessly stubborn. But this is a difficult day where even clothes feel painful and any movement feels like I'm carrying bricks attached to my body. I'm fortunate that my light sensitivity doesn't get affected by artificial light so I can still look at screens and do live streams. But I am housebound 90% of the time, can't listen to music (I used to be a musician for 20 years prior to finance) and now I can once again no longer tolerate video games - my favourite way to relax. I don't need sympathy, just putting it out there for my ME/CFS and #pwLC because I'm running out of things to try and the doctors don't know what to do with me but bounce me from specialist to specialist which is exhausting given my heavily limited energy reserves. At my core I am an entertainer and a trader. My condition also doesn't come with a massive brain fog which plagues others but enough to affect my decision making when I'm in a flareup. Regardless I am truly thankful for this. In these moments silver lining is the only thing I can hold onto. I cannot give up, that is not an option for me. We keep fighting and resting while we wait for science to catch up and the flareup to ease. But please - researchers of the world - hurry up, it's been long enough leaving people suffering. There are millions of unseen ME/CFS patients that gave up hope and are stuck in darkened rooms, in silence, no friends because they eventually move on with their lives, and many are all alone with no one to care for them. I have my husband of almost 21 years who is my rock when I'm not well. He helps me dry my hair when I'm too weak. He brings me food and meds while I rest during the day. He takes over dog walking when my legs are uncooperative. I don't know what I would do without him. But I am one of the fortunate ones despite this horrible illness.

If we think about this purely from a regulation standpoint, one working hypothesis could be: What if your system isn’t broken in the sense of “not producing energy,” but is stuck in a chronic fight/flight loop and can’t fully return to deep recovery mode? That pattern often shows up when the autonomic nervous system is unstable especially when sympathetic activity (threat mode) dominates and parasympathetic tone (rest/repair mode) can’t fully re-engage. The vagus nerve is the main pathway that helps shift the body back into that parasympathetic state. It influences heart rate variability, inflammatory signaling, gut-brain communication, and brainstem sensory processing. If that system isn’t modulating properly, everything can feel amplified and recovery never feels complete. If that hypothesis is even partially true, then approaches that increase vagal tone are at least logically aligned with the problem. More targeted options would include: Auricular vagus stimulation (ear-based) The auricular branch of the vagus nerve runs through parts of the outer ear. Some non-invasive devices are designed specifically to stimulate that branch. Anatomically, that makes more sense than wrist-based devices, since the vagus nerve doesn’t run through the wrist. Cervical vagus stimulation (neck devices) Some external devices stimulate the vagus in the neck area where it’s more accessible. Again, this is directly targeting the nerve rather than indirectly influencing it. Breathwork that increases vagal tone Slow, controlled breathing — especially extended exhales — activates parasympathetic pathways. It’s simple but directly engages vagal circuits through respiratory coupling. Cold exposure (carefully) Brief, controlled cold exposure can stimulate vagal reflexes and shift autonomic balance. This would need to be very cautious given how sensitive your system is, but it’s one of the more direct physiologic triggers of vagal activation. HRV biofeedback Heart rate variability reflects vagal tone. Training with HRV feedback aims to strengthen parasympathetic control over time. It’s a way of training the system rather than forcing it. None of this assumes vagal dysfunction is the root cause. But if part of what’s happening is that your system cannot reliably shift into deep recovery mode after stress or exertion, then targeting vagal pathways isn’t random, it’s coherent with that model. Not advice. Just a different lens to explore if it feels worth looking into.

@pip_raider Have you tried Vagus nerve stimulation to possibly reduce symptom intensity? Here's what my LLM doctor says ⬇️

@PropFirmMedia @MichaelPatak @Topstep

🚨 STOP GASLIGHTING TRADERS. @MichaelPatak START OWNING YOUR MESS. 🚨 @Topstep “Make it right” sounds cute. But every time traders win, the rulebook magically updates. Every time payouts approach, there’s a “clarification.” WHAT A COINCIDENCE. Live account rules? Confusing. Accountability? Nowhere to be found. You call it “risk management.” Traders call it “profit prevention.” When fees are collected everything is smooth. When profits are requested suddenly it’s compliance season. Constructive feedback isn’t an attack. It’s what happens when trust starts collapsing. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FIX IT STOP MOVING THE GOALPOSTS. Or just admit the game was never fair to begin with. #propfirmmedia📈

I'm working on automating all the non-discretionary parts of my process: premarket/after-hours scans, trade management, trade logs, stats, basket generation, analyzes and market report, etc..... It currently takes me up to 4 hours a day. AI tools are now making it possible for everyday people to code and build the tools they’ve always wanted. My end goal has always been more freedom to focus on family, health, travel and hobbies.

Some basic knowledge helps the process go faster but you can definitely do it without any. I started in early 2023 before vibe coding was a thing and had zero experience. 1. Ask your LLM of choice to create a beginner friendly (no-coding experience) phased implementation plan for (your idea) and then feed that output to another LLM and ask it to critique it and offer improvements. 2. Once you have a refined plan copy/paste each step into coding agent of choice. (Codex or Claude Code) 3. Profit 😎

@LoneStockTrader just curious, to what extent is programming knowledge required to do that? If you care to share any pointers on what tools to use, et al, it would be much appreciated.

@big_duca Freetaxusa.com - free for simple federal returns, small fee for state (I paid $15)

I feel like an open source version of TurboTax should be created. Might be possible bc of AI now. Been thinking about this quite a bit.

@xydotdot This all reminds me of crypto in 2016/2017. Whitepapers promising crazy use cases and paradigm changing outcomes. But then when you actually tried to use it...

How long are we going to do this shit for. It’s becoming more insane to me how all these big accounts keep buying this fugazi. It’s all pretrained: the model, the tools, the feedback loop. All of it runs on infrastructure it does not control. How can you call something autonomous when it can’t survive losing API keys? And the capability frontier is fixed. It can’t modify its own architecture, weights, or training data. It can rewrite code inside the box, but it can’t change the box. As with every other fugazi, there’s no agency. Without control over substrate, governance, and learning mechanisms, there is no path to open-ended growth or persistence. Technically, it’s bounded automation with language-driven planning. Useful, maybe, but not a new class of intelligence.

@RoundtableSpace Yeah it's free and takes way too long to respond to be useful. Wish people would stop the hype for views and get real.

@iamJMinx @Topstep

Let me break this down since comprehension seems to be the real issue here — and it’s not on my end. You called the site nice AND useless at the same time. Your only argument was about Topstep reviews which have nothing to do with my tools. Then you came for my English. It’s my second language. I built an entire platform in it, write in it, and apparently comprehend it better than you do in your first. Sit down homie… 🤦🏼‍♀️
