Topstep Trader @Camsorbet Posts $11,500 Payout Proof on NQ Longs

Trader @Camsorbet posted to X on June 8 a screenshot showing an $11,500 payout from Topstep, citing a session result of plus $11,500 on NQ longs and a $10,000 payout locked in.

On Monday June 8, the trader posted a screenshot to X stating a $10,000 payout had been locked in at Topstep, alongside a session note of plus $11,500 on NQ longs. The post tags Topstep and co-founder Michael Patak directly, and the payout amount cited in the proof totals $11,500. The approval date associated with the receipt is June 2026.

The instrument is identified in the post as NQ, the E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures contract listed on CME Group, which sits squarely within Topstep's stated market focus on CME Group futures. The proof does not disclose the account size used, the entry and exit prices, the holding period, or the strategy employed to generate the gain. Readers should treat the screenshot as evidence of a payout event and a single session result, not as a description of an ongoing method.

“I'm taking these accounts to the big leagues.”— @Camsorbet on X

Topstep, founded in Chicago in 2012, reports a 90/10 profit split, with accounts opened before January 2026 grandfathered to keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits. The firm also states a per-request payout cap of $6,000 on standard plans, which means an $11,500 figure in a single post is consistent either with multiple requests, a grandfathered structure, or terms specific to the trader's account. The post itself does not specify which.

What the proof establishes is narrow and useful: a public claim, tied to a named handle, naming the firm, the instrument, and a dated amount, with a screenshot attached. What it does not establish is account size, evaluation tier, time to funding, or repeatability. On that evidence, the receipt stands as one more dated data point in Topstep's public payout record, neither more nor less.
