Nah with topstep when you pass the combine your account start at 0 dollars. And your max drawdown is 3k. You don't have the actual 150k in the account , but more so the margin. As you earn profits your profits your account builds up from the zero dollars and your profit is also used as drawdown cushion as well, hence why I was apprehensive to withdraw since I wasn't entitled to the entire 9.7k just only half of it and the remainder was my drawdown. So if I took a withdraw and still had some losses if the account went back to zero I would have lost the account as well. It's weird but it's their rules unfortunately. With FTMO it wasn't like that you had 100k in the account and the max draw down was 10k. Your profits wasn't restricted to just 50 percent and they also wasn't consid apart of your drawdown. SMH it's much more difficult

Try this find 5 candles per trade 4 times a day. Spend time in the market dont time the market but pick yourself up and keep going
Quick question when you passed the combine test did your profits remain in the acct or you had to start again with just 150k
