@MichaelPatak@Topstep Cutting the potential payout amount then lowering “all in price” seems kinda crazy for a firm that’s constantly saying it’s the biggest firm
@Peocol992@ErnestSmit45809@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading Read it
“money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust”
“to influence the judgment or conduct of (someone) with or as if with offers of money or favor”
The FAVOR is a higher ranking on his little site
@ErnestSmit45809@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading Whatever terminology you wanna use it’s the same
“I’ll rank you higher on my site if you pay me X amount”
that’s 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 didn’t notice because the bright “you’ve passed the verification” 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 he’s watching for hedging issues because of their own trade copier (platform) but says to just trade 1 account so you don’t 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 that’s not true but sure
Also I’m posting about a firm preaching they’re for traders but all changes they make are negatively effecting them
You’re posting cause you made a mistake and want Lucid to fix it for you
@MrTradernaut A “hard on” means you like something so you clearly didn’t use that phrase properly
I think Topstep is shady and hurting financially but they act like they’re the holy prop firm for traders when they’ve made no changes to benefit traders just themselves. I don’t trade there
@MrTradernaut@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading All you’ve done is come to X and argue with people because of your inability to click a green button “MoonBro”. I’m 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 “close the eval” but sure man. Have a blessed day
@MrTradernaut@Patrickwieland@nuttybartrading What “thread” did I miss. I commented on your only post about this and you got all defensive and aggressive because you can’t communicate normally
You didn’t 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 “other accounts”?
You passed an eval. Didn’t 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 You’ve gotten payouts before. Congrats?
You quite literally blew the account and posted pictures showing that and you’re 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 I’m not sure why you’re so mad about this
🚨Breaking: 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 isn’t bragging about “making 200k” 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 doesn’t show cost which is selling a dream about “I made X amount”
