As always, even though it has been going on for 15 years, since the Dodd-Frank act was passed to protect traders from the USA, it still blows my mind the company the US keeps on the restricted list.....just look at the other countries in that list

Drawdown is more important than Account Size !

With another MFFU payout, I decided to use it on Topstep, to see if I can finally break my curse with them 
. And to have more accounts.
Currently almost at the point of max payout of $5000.
A few days ago I saw a post of Monty saying "Greed is good". So the last couple of days, I squeezed as much profit as I could from the markets.
Fortunately, no regrets! I will not let this one get away.

For me, it isn’t about not wanting restrictions. It’s about wanting to know what they are, up-front, and avoiding unexpected rule-changes later. Is that such an unreasonable expectation?
People who succeed can then have their risk strangled to reduce payouts.
The CFD ones are the ones whose money you’re winning, if you make profits after passing the challenge, so their natural inclination is probably to "slip you to hell" (as the MFF staff famously worded it, according to their whistleblower who went to the regulators)?
If a futures one opens a real account for you on the CME, after you’ve proved yourself enough, from then on they can profit from you only if you win, not when you lose.
One’s a win/win. The other’s very obviously a win/lose, as shown all the time by reports of payout difficulties from the CFD ones.
You don’t ever seem to hear about Topstep’s customers having payout problems, do you?
It all seems rather a no-brainer, to me.
Now I just have to manage to pass one, lol - for some of us, that's the hard part!
! Decided to trade a little more and reach the $10K for maximum payout. And I reached it. Only small trades now until I reach 5 days of profits.

LOL!! You pay them $250 for a nominal $2,500 account, with a drawdown-limit of $250, so it’s risk-free for them - and they split the profit 50/50 with you. Do people really do this?!
