Hi there!
Happy to shed some light on our decision.
Our team reviews all trades and looks for patterns that suggest coordinated group trading. In this case, we found multiple instances of your account entering and exiting the same product at the same time as several of your family members' accounts. An example of one of the several occurrences we found is shown below.
Trading with friends and community members is part of the Ultimate Trading Experience, but it needs to stay by the book. That means no coordinated efforts to hedge, manage multiple accounts at once, or get around Topstep's trading rules. You can read more about prohibited conduct in our Help Center: https://t.co/wwdzrFf8QR
Trader of the Week Spotlight ๐ก goes to Roberto for slowing down.
He's passed before. Over-sizing every time, then burned the accounts within days.
This time the pass took almost two months. He locked in his risk every week and leaned on the static MLL to add size only when it made sense.
Patience first. Size is earned ๐
Who will be featured next?
I've passed before, going full port every time and then burning them within days, along with many other evaluations. This time it took me almost 2 months to pass, but I stayed disciplined, locking my risks weekly and increasing size when needed thanks to the static MLL. @Topstep

Quick reminder that the decision to call a trader up to Live is not based on one metric or threshold. It is a case by case basis based on overall performance, risk management, payout history, and numerous other factors our Live team reviews before selecting traders for our Live program.

You've had success in your Combines and XFAs (24 total payouts) and with this move to Live you'll no longer have payout caps. Keep up the consistency that got you here and the sky is the limit.
Congratulations and trade well!
