Largest ever @Topstep Live Payout +$456,000 THE BIGGEST. THE LARGEST.
ON CONSISTIENCY the biggest thing that plagues prop traders is consistency. and for good reason. it’s by design. it’s hard to be consistent. i have this theory that everyone knows what the right move for them is. everyone knows what to do. but people do not want to do it.…
since april, my focus in the prop trading space has been my @Topstep live account. i don’t really care to grind sim props anymore. i stopped for the most part back in april. i’m not spending my days grinding for payout screenshots or buying evaluations. like for what? just to…

Good question, Peter. have gotten this asked a few times. first, probably a good idea and in good faith to acknowledge that there is higher capacity on apex. 20 accounts can provide more leverage. - i’m not a fan of trailing drawdown in the evaluation stage. it creates a…
Serious question KJ. Why not Apex?

if I can say 1 thing: until firms incentivize trading live capital, this space isn’t moving forward. handing traders a $10K sim account and offering either a small live account or a payout doesn’t create long-term alignment. there has to be bonuses, clear paths, and real upside…
For new traders entering the space, your options are: a. save up $25,000 to fund a personal live account b. buy an "evaluation" from a prop firm ($100) Option A allows you to call yourself a "real trader". I have seen hundreds of people go this route and lose money they can not…
So well said Anthony. Even at the CBOT and CME in the 1970s and 1980s, maybe there were a handful of flashy trades -- and the majority of them blew up eventually (Dennis, Cook Grain, Bond locals). Futures trading a a business for grinders. 90% of newbies who enter the SIM world…
FUTURES PROP FIRMS TOP 3 1. @Topstep 2. @Tradeify 3. @ApexTradeFund
May be for Pro + accounts: $5000 per account on 50K Total 6 accounts one can have 6 x $5000 = $30000 per payout which can be every 5 days (60% of total made can be withdrawn) This way 3.5 payout cycle will cross 100K cap!!! Is this something @KJFUTURES would make a point?? Just…
ON PAYOUT CAPS What they won’t tell you about @fundingticks pt.2 (i guess) They have a 100k max sim profit cap. which is pretty standard now. PSA: This is all public information. You can go verify all of this against docs on their website. I have no inside knowledge or…
i don’t like where this industry is headed in regards to payout caps.
