@MichaelPatak@Topstep Cutting the potential payout amount then lowering āall in priceā seems kinda crazy for a firm thatās constantly saying itās the biggest firm
@Peocol992@ErnestSmit45809@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading Read it
āmoney or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trustā
āto influence the judgment or conduct of (someone) with or as if with offers of money or favorā
The FAVOR is a higher ranking on his little site
@Peocol992@ErnestSmit45809@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading No I said it correctly. Told the firms āIāll rank you higher on my site if you pay me X amountā
You think a big prop firm cares about 1 websites rankings from someone?
@ErnestSmit45809@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading Whatever terminology you wanna use itās the same
āIāll rank you higher on my site if you pay me X amountā
thatās a bribe, the bribe being ranking them higher on his site
@MrTradernaut Yeah my fault. Idk why I thought you made a mistake and opened an order that unpassed your account. You honestly starting to just annoy me and you clearly will never understand that you hit the profit target then lost money which means you no longer were at the profit target
I accidentally opened one sell trade while trying to close one of my buys. I stack trade micros and didnāt notice because the bright āyouāve passed the verificationā message blinded me, and I assumed lucid would disable the account just like they do once you breach it and all trades flatten automatically like every other trade prop firms.
The CEO of Topstep just said heās watching for hedging issues because of their own trade copier (platform) but says to just trade 1 account so you donāt get flagged for hedging from their own platform problems (again).
They still let you buy 5 accounts though
Watching this behavior like a hawk. Trade one account only and you will never ever have an issue here. Trading multiple accounts will heighten probability of inadvertently triggering a hedge violation. Accounts hedged become ineligible. Be mindful when trading multiple accounts.
@MrTradernaut Well thatās not true but sure
Also Iām posting about a firm preaching theyāre for traders but all changes they make are negatively effecting them
Youāre posting cause you made a mistake and want Lucid to fix it for you
@MrTradernaut A āhard onā means you like something so you clearly didnāt use that phrase properly
I think Topstep is shady and hurting financially but they act like theyāre the holy prop firm for traders when theyāve made no changes to benefit traders just themselves. I donāt trade there
@MrTradernaut@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading All youāve done is come to X and argue with people because of your inability to click a green button āMoonBroā. Iām not wasting my time on this conversation anymore
@MrTradernaut@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading You came to X to cry over a $80 eval because you forgot to close an order on a still active eval and are now mad at the prop firm because you never pushed the button to activate the account or āclose the evalā but sure man. Have a blessed day
@MrTradernaut@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading What āthreadā did I miss. I commented on your only post about this and you got all defensive and aggressive because you canāt communicate normally
You didnāt press the green button to activate the account. The account got blown from an open order (trading platforms fault or not)
@MrTradernaut@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading When did I say āother accountsā?
You passed an eval. Didnāt activate it with the very obvious button. Kept trading it. Blew it. Which means you would have blown the account even if it was funded since you LITERALLY blew the eval after passing thinking it was already funded
@MrTradernaut@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading Youāve gotten payouts before. Congrats?
You quite literally blew the account and posted pictures showing that and youāre complaining about not getting that eval funded. Which as I said you would have blown that funded account even if it was funded
@aw_trades_ They did a while ago but MP posted Topsteps lifetime payouts and 10% of their payouts for the 15 year existence of Topstep came I think in February
They got milked from metals going crazy and are now just trying to save money and making worse rules than competitors in my opinion
@MrTradernaut@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading Seems like you would have blown the funded account anyway even if you hit the very obvious button to upgrade it to funded so Iām not sure why youāre so mad about this
šØBreaking: Trader sues @Topstep in US District Court
Complaint alleges Topstep "systematic and deceptive scheme to extract subscription fees, commissions, exchange fees, and trading data from futures traders while employing an ever-shifting set of rules, restrictions, and account structures specifically designed to prevent those traders from achieving sustainable profitability or accessing funds they have legitimately earned."
"Defendants have repeatedly changed the rules of engagement-imposing increasingly restrictive trading parameters, prematurely forcing Plaintiff into "live" accounts with oppressive conditions; and locking earned capital in an inaccessible "reserve" requiring mathematically near-impossible returns to unlock."

@FelonyTrades The real estate buyer isnāt bragging about āmaking 200kā on the house flip the selling a discord
Every knows real estate cost money up front but the prop space has affiliate money for themselves, discords and doesnāt show cost which is selling a dream about āI made X amountā
