@CamUndefeated Confirms $1,868 Topstep Reserve Fund Payout
Trader @CamUndefeated posted on X in late April 2026 that he received $1,868 from Topstep, describing the funds as a distribution from reserve funds tied to a previously closed funded account.
On X, @CamUndefeated documented a $1,868 payment received from Topstep in late April 2026, describing the funds as a distribution from reserve funds tied to an account that had been closed. The post also references a separate $9,000 request submitted on a Tuesday from a Topstep Live account that the trader says was closed at 30 winning days. The $1,868 figure is the only amount in the post tied to a confirmed receipt rather than a request.
The trader frames the payment as unexpected, noting it followed the loss of a separate funded account at another firm. Within the same week, the post tallies roughly $12,000 in combined results across venues, but only the $1,868 line item is presented as a settled payout from Topstep. Account size, instrument traded on the Topstep account, and the strategy used are not specified in the post and cannot be inferred from the screenshot text alone.
“got paid $1,868 yesterday from the reserve funds. Shoutout to them because I didn't expect this payment.”— @CamUndefeated on X
Topstep, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Chicago, routes funded traders into CME Group futures markets and has long operated on a monthly subscription model for its Combine evaluation. The firm reports a 90/10 profit split, with accounts opened before January 2026 grandfathered to keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits. Whether this payment was processed under the grandfathered structure is not stated in the post.
What the proof establishes is narrow but concrete: a public, dated post from a named handle, a specific dollar figure, and an attribution to Topstep reserve funds. What it does not establish is the underlying account configuration, the trading approach, or the timeline from first funded day to payment. Readers evaluating the firm should treat the $1,868 as a verified data point about one trader's experience in April 2026, not as a representative outcome.
