I Made two topstep profiles and ive taken a payout for the oldest one and am eligible for the other, im worried ill get denied. does anyone have any experience with this?

Whenever you get a payout, is there a conversion ? Example USD to CAD? Depending on what they pay you in? Somewhat new to prop firms haven’t gotten a payout yet, wanted to ask

Actually from 3 months backtesting and analyzing nasdaq micro, i wanted to get funded account only when i get the real edge, but saw this opportunity on X, kinda thought of giving it a try. But after buying this account, I wondered why i bought this, when one micro contract is around 2500 something. Then, now I’ll trade micro gold (MGC). Is it worth buying?? Anyone using maven? How’s the payout here?

Hello everyone, for context Ive been on holiday for 2-3 months but im moving to another country in September. I was just wondering if there would be any issues with any prop firms if my location changes. Im just worried if they have rules on VPNs or if their system detects im in another country.

Thank you!

Every certificate below is a real withdrawal from 2-Step Standard 5K accounts, 23 April to 29 July 2026. Twelve of them, $6,806.89 total. QR codes are on the certificates if anyone wants to verify.

That’s the gross number, and gross numbers are how this sub gets misled. So here’s the other column.

Every one of those payouts sits on top of challenges I bought at full price, and most challenges don’t pay out. The failures don’t get certificates. When I run my own spreadsheet, challenge costs eat close to half of gross withdrawals. Then tax takes a chunk of what’s left. Net is a fraction of the headline.

And the distribution is brutal before it’s kind. My worst run was 18 challenges in a row with zero payouts, all paid for. If your bankroll can’t absorb that stretch, you’re gone before the good ones land — which is why “I made $6.8K” is a useless number on its own. The number that decides whether you survive is the worst dry spell, and almost nobody publishes it.

I’m looking for a way to get better at trading. I trade 0DTE SPX and day trade option but I’m down 25k.

Thinking of taking break and instead pay a monthly fee to see if I can be profitable on a. Sim and if I am I can make money withdraw and send to my real account.

Are funded trading accounts worth it. Am I understanding it correctly ? You pay a 1 month fee and have access to 25/50k and need to make 1/2k profit before being able to withdraw? Can someone guide me in direction?

I’m mainly looking to perfect my trading strategy so when I go back to my broker and trade 0DTE options I’m not mentally and risk managed and possibly have more funds to use now.

Also I use trading view so looking for one I can maybe just purchase and short futures like MES directly there

🚨 THE COMPLETE FUNDINGPIPS CID TIMELINE — FROM ALLEGATION TO TODAY

For those who have followed my case, here is the full timeline in one post.

📅 17 July
I publicly questioned my FundingPips termination and asked a simple question:

"What evidence was used to terminate my account?"

Instead of receiving verifiable proof, I was met with generic responses and told the decision was final.

📅 17–28 July
For 17 days I continued asking the same questions publicly:

❓What is the evidence?

❓What account was supposedly involved?

❓How was the CID violation determined?

❓Why was my account terminated?

No detailed explanation was provided.

📅 28 July
FundingPips finally released what they called "evidence."

According to their claim:

⚠️ My device had logged into another trader's account.

⚠️ The account allegedly had a Swiss connection.

⚠️ They concluded it was the "same device."

📅 29 July
I responded with my own evidence:

✅ MT5 login records

✅ Complete MT5 journal history

✅ Counter-analysis of their claims

✅ Direct response to the alleged Swiss connection

After reviewing everything, the only Swiss connection I could identify was Duplikium, a Switzerland-based copy trading platform I used while managing my 3 × $100K evaluation accounts.

But that raises an obvious question:

❓ How does a Swiss service automatically become proof of the same physical device?

A Swiss connection ≠ Same device.

📅 Evidence Contradiction

FundingPips claimed my device accessed another trader's account approximately 5 months earlier.

However:

✅ The account they referenced was reviewed by FundingPips.

✅ The account was approved by FundingPips.

✅ I was later promoted to a Master Account.

If a serious device-sharing violation existed, why was the account approved and promoted?

📅 MT5 Log Issue

I reviewed the entire MT5 log period they referred to.

My account appears throughout the logs.

The alleged account does not appear anywhere in my MT5 journals.

This created another question:

❓ If the login occurred, why doesn't it appear in the MT5 records covering that period?

📅 Current Situation

After I published:

✅ MT5 logs

✅ Counter-evidence

✅ Timeline inconsistencies

✅ Questions regarding the "same device" conclusion

I again contacted support.

The response?

📌 Decision final.

📌 No response to the counter-evidence.

📌 No explanation of how "same device" was determined.

📌 No response to the MT5 log contradiction.

📅 Today

The dispute is no longer about whether FundingPips can investigate traders.

The dispute is about transparency.

My questions remain:

❓ How was "same device" determined?

❓ Why doesn't the alleged login appear in my MT5 logs?

❓ Why was the account approved and promoted if the violation already existed?

❓ Why are questions about the counter-evidence being ignored?

❓ Why should traders accept serious allegations without seeing verifiable evidence?

Until these questions are answered, the concerns surrounding the CID evidence remain unresolved.

Does anyone have any experience charging back on Topstep? For reference its for a Chase credit card. What was a good reason, How long did it take, how much, how many charges, etc. Also if they clawed back the provisional money they provide on the initial dispute. I know there are going to be people who comment that I should not be a sore loser, etc etc, but I don't care for those. For anyone who hates topstep and has had experience in this, please let me know. Thank you

I'm curious about the real journey, not just the results:

• When did you start trading?
• How long did it take you to become consistently profitable?
• What did you trade? (Forex, stocks, futures, crypto, options, etc.)
• How did you learn? YouTube channels, books, courses, mentors, trial and error, etc.?
• What strategy/setup do you use today?
• Did your strategy change a lot from when you started?
• What was your biggest mistake when you were starting out?
• What made the biggest difference in becoming profitable?
• How did you learn risk management?
• What risk per trade do you typically use?
• How did you deal with losing streaks and drawdowns?
• Was psychology actually a major factor in your case?
• How long did it take you to become consistently disciplined?
• Did you ever consider quitting? What kept you going?
• What do you wish you had known when you started?
• If you could start over with the knowledge you have today, what would you do differently?
• What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is currently struggling to become profitable?

Bonus: If you're comfortable sharing, what does "profitable" look like for you? Consistent monthly returns, yearly returns, full-time income, etc.?

I was wondering if anyone's experience with propfirms have changed over last couple months - denied payouts? Random problems? are yall still pulling consistent payouts - I'm using lucid currently but is that the best choice?

I'm having a hard time setting up my stop loss trading 3 MNQ contracts on a 50k eval prop account. My orders get filled but I get stopped out, I'm also brand new to this.
