    We will never have an “intraday” trailing drawdown rule that bust you out of a profitable position in the middle of your trading day, losing your account, just bc it pulled back a bit too much. If that has happened to you make the switch.

    🛑Stop looking for the shiny new object 🛑Stop searching for shortcuts 🛑Stop buying into the discount bin marketing. 🛑Stop looking for easier & faster. ✅Start being a trader. Trading takes work. Trading takes time. Period. The shiny new object DOES NOT WORK anywhere in life.

    Ever had your strategy dialed in the Combine & get funded & then make a mistake or bust out right away never reaching a payout? “Back2Funded” will address this situation and be a game changer and our biggest new opportunity at Topstep. T minus. (and we ain’t done after that)

    What’s if in Combine you could get a free “Reset” upon each rebill whether you r up down or sideways AND bank it to be used for when you need it for any account you currently have active. Ya that’s coming to EVERYONE next week. With more stuff than just this but I started here.

    Intraday trailing drawdown. It’s not helping you become a better trader and it trips up traders. Not good. Don’t waste your time. Trade smarter

    We removed “changing trading to become payout eligible” from prohibited conduct. It was vague. We never denied anyone for this. It was causing confusion We DO want traders to keep with the strategy that got them there. Spoke about it today on @TopstepTV - Thanks for the feedback

    Yes. You got: - A reset credit per account you had active with us. - You got a 40% off, if you need it, on your next Trading Combine - You got a Free XFA added for each impacted xfa (Impacted means profitable day was voided) We will always try to make it right. Trade well!

    I know the wording is a lot, but are you guys giving us free resets on future combines, 40% off AND the XFAs? Doubt anyone matching this
