Vinod Rathod Posts Two $1,752 Topstep Payouts on X in September

Trader @VinodVRathod published proof on X on September 28 of two separate Topstep payouts of $1,752 each, thanking the Chicago-based futures prop firm and crediting rule adherence and risk management for the result.

The proof, posted to X on September 28, shows two separate withdrawals of $1,752 each credited to Rathod from Topstep. He tagged the firm directly and attached a screenshot, thanked the team, and framed the receipts as evidence that disciplined rule-following at the firm converts to actual cash in hand.

The post does not disclose the account size Rathod trades, the instruments he uses, or the strategy behind the profits. What it does establish is the timing and the amounts, and the fact that two payouts cleared in the same window rather than a single lump. Both figures sit well within the firm's stated per-request payout ceiling.

Context helps size the receipt. Topstep, founded in Chicago in 2012, operates on a 90/10 profit split, with a firm-stated grandfather provision that accounts opened before January 2026 keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits. Two payouts of $1,752 fit comfortably inside that early-profit band, and both land far below the $6,000 per-request cap the firm applies to standard funded accounts.

For readers weighing prop firms, the value of a post like this is narrow but real. It does not prove long-term profitability or a repeatable edge. It does confirm that money moved from the firm to a named, public-facing trader on a documented date, which is the single question most prospective evaluees actually want answered.
