$37,000 Top One Futures Payout Posted by @koltonpierce25 on X
On April 3, the trader @koltonpierce25 published a post on X documenting a $37,000 payout request from Top One Futures, describing it as his largest single withdrawal from the firm to date and the result of a 15-account promotional purchase.
The post on X states the $37,000 figure explicitly and describes the path to it as 37 trading days, or 52 calendar days, from purchase to payout request. Pierce notes that he acquired the accounts through a promotion offering 15 accounts, and he discloses upfront that he has no affiliation with Top One Futures, no Discord community, and a small following, framing the post as a personal report rather than promotion.
A significant portion of the post concerns a Tradovate platform glitch that triggered an incorrect daily loss limit hit while the account was, by Pierce's account, roughly $600 above the trailing threshold. He recounts that Top One Futures support responded within 21 minutes of escalation, reset the balance to what they agreed was the correct figure, and later told him to hit the payout threshold so the team could manually review the affected accounts before releasing funds.
“BIGGEST single payout request to date: $37,000 from TopOne.”— @koltonpierce25 on X
Top One Futures reports a 90/10 profit split on its sim-funded accounts and, by the firm's own accounting, more than $19 million paid out across 122 countries. Those numbers are firm-stated rather than independently audited, but they provide context for an individual payout request of this size and for the manual review process Pierce describes at the end of his thread.
The post does not specify the account size or sizes that produced the $37,000, the instruments traded, or the strategy employed. It references an ESS score moving from 9% to 22% on some accounts after the glitch, but it does not break the $37,000 down per account or attach a P&L statement, so the proof here is the trader's public claim and the screenshot he shared, not a firm-issued payout certificate.
What the post does establish is a documented, named, public claim of a $37,000 payout request from Top One Futures on April 3, posted by a trader who states he has no commercial relationship with the firm. For readers weighing the firm against its short track record, founded in April 2025, that combination of specificity and disclosed independence is the part worth weighing.
