@AndrewTradesNQ@OilTradhder 5x founded account with no cap. Bro... What you are comparing. The only disadvantage is to deal with trialling dd - until the threshold. After that the sky is a limit.
Unfortunately, the Topstep Dashboard doesn't work for live accounts; neither does the TopstepX transaction history or the calendar. The live account started well, but I made a few significant mistakes: on June 4th, I was chasing a small loss and ended up with DLL - and all of that on Asia, when I NEVER trade Asia... That's my golden rule. On June 5th, it wasn't so bad, DLL caught, but manageable. I made the biggest mistakes on June 9th and especially on June 10th: a typical oversize overlevrage, and the final DLL came from making a mistake and opening 2xNQ instead of 2xMNQ. Instead of closing it immediately I held it, I got punched in the face with a loss of $1,500. Since Friday, I've been on Shoulder Tap XFA with a starting balance of over $4,200. Is that bad? NO! Who wouldn't want to start XFA with such a balance? Slow mode and low leverage mode are on. To cheer myself up, I bought Tradeify 1x150 and 2x50 test accout last week.... I was tempted by the promotions.
2026 YTD summary after May:
Purchase $23.3k
Payout $49.2k (after 90/10 split)
Profit $25.9k (after 90/10 split)
After my last withdrawals I spent some >$3k on test accounts in May, some of them I passed some almost passed but all of them I blew without payout. I haven't bought any accounts since last week. This is my Stop loss on buying test accounts until next payout. Back to basics and base hit on my only one: live Topstep account. Until my next payday. Then I'll start scaling again - slower this time.
@AnbuTradesNq Do you have a problem with the minute limit of queries to the Tradovate API with such a number of accounts, e.g. when moving stop/TP orders?
While waiting for my Topstep live account, I completed 5x50 TPT, almost completed 5x50 Tradeify (2200 each) and on Friday I bought 5x50 Alpha on 50% off which I made $800 on each. Today, when I received my Pro TPT accounts, all 15 accounts were blown. Tilted. +152$ Topstep live.
@FarmforAnswers@nuttybartrading Exactly. ZERO trusts Apex nowadays. No buy anything from them when they are moving ppl to crap 3k live after or before first payout.
