@Ty_inwestuj Documents $1,770 Topstep Payout After Micros-Only Run

On Monday, October 26, the trader @Ty_inwestuj posted on X that he had requested his first payout from Topstep for $1,770 after passing a Combine two weeks earlier and running the account up to $3,570 trading micros only.

The post, tagged to @Topstep, describes a compact timeline. The trader states he started the Combine two weeks before posting, passed it, grew the funded account to $3,570 in profit, and submitted a first withdrawal request for $1,770. A screenshot accompanies the post as the visible evidence of the request.

The trader frames the result in deliberately modest terms, citing two young children, a full-time job, and a cap of roughly two hours of screen time per day, not every day. He attributes the outcome to process and consistency rather than skill, writing that no talent was involved. The only instrument detail disclosed is that the account was traded in micros.

“No talent involved. Process and showing up.”— @Ty_inwestuj on X

Context from the firm helps size the number. Topstep, founded in 2012 in Chicago and focused on CME Group futures, operates on a 90 / 10 profit split, with the firm reporting that accounts opened before January 2026 keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits. Topstep also lists a per-request payout cap of $6,000, with a lower $2,000 to $3,000 band on newer no-fee Combines, which places a $1,770 first request well inside standard withdrawal limits.

The proof is narrow by design. The post does not disclose the account size, the specific micro contracts traded, the number of trading days, or the strategy used, and TraderPayout has not independently reconciled the screenshot against Topstep's internal records. What the post documents is a dated, public payout request from an identifiable handle, not a verified bank credit or a track record across multiple cycles.

Taken on its own terms, the entry is a small, clean data point: a self-reported first payout request of $1,770 from a Combine passed roughly two weeks earlier, posted publicly and tagged to the firm. For readers evaluating Topstep, it is useful less as a performance claim than as evidence that first payout requests at this scale are being initiated and shared openly by funded traders.
