@AlecQuant Moves Five $150K Topstep Accounts to Live Funded

The trader @AlecQuant announced on X on November 3 that five $150,000 Topstep accounts had been promoted to live funded status, posting a screenshot of the transition and tagging the Chicago-based futures prop firm.

On Tuesday, November 3, the trader @AlecQuant posted on X that five $150,000 Topstep accounts had been promoted to live status, alongside an image documenting the transition. The post references a prior pattern of payout requests from the same accounts and signals a move into Topstep's live funded environment, referred to in the post as Octagon.

The post and attached screenshot establish the moment of promotion to live and reference a $150,000 account profile across five accounts. It does not disclose the instruments traded, the strategy used, or the time taken to reach this stage. Readers should treat the $150,000 figure as the account denomination cited in the post rather than a confirmed cash payout receipt on this specific date.

“And just like that getting moved to live with my 5x $150k accounts.”— @AlecQuant on X

Topstep, founded in Chicago in 2012, is one of the longer-running evaluation firms focused on CME Group futures. The firm offers Combine sizes of $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000 with no time limit on the evaluation, a structure that lets traders like @AlecQuant scale across multiple accounts of the same denomination. Topstep reports a 90/10 profit split, with accounts opened before January 2026 grandfathered to keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits.

What the proof credibly shows is a public, dated post from the trader announcing a live-account transition tied to Topstep infrastructure, with a visible certificate image. What it does not show is a dollar amount transferred to a bank account on this date. The signal here is account progression within Topstep's funnel, not a settled payout receipt.
