Topstep Trader @alexgoingturbo Posts $7,000 Payout Request on X
On June 2, the X account @alexgoingturbo posted that a same-day short trade produced $2,000 across four Topstep Express Funded Accounts, making the trader eligible for a $7,000 withdrawal from Topstep that day.
On Tuesday, June 2, the trader @alexgoingturbo posted on X that a short taken near the open produced a $2,000 day across four Topstep XFA accounts, leaving the trader eligible for a $7,000 withdrawal the same day. The post links to an image presented as the on-platform confirmation of that eligibility.
The proof is narrow but specific. It establishes a dated public claim of a $7,000 payout request at Topstep, tied to four Express Funded Accounts and a directional intraday trade taken at the cash open. It does not establish the account size on each XFA, the instrument traded, or the holding time beyond the trader's own description of a same-session short.
“Went short today around open for $2000 day on 4 Topstep XFA. Eligible for a $7,000 withdrawal today.”— @alexgoingturbo on X, June 2
Context matters for reading the figure. Topstep, founded in Chicago in 2012 and one of the longest-running futures prop firms, routes traders through CME Group futures and operates a 90/10 profit split, with the firm stating that accounts opened before January 2026 keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits. A $7,000 request sits above the firm's stated $6,000 per-request cap on newer no-activation-fee combines, which is consistent with the trader spreading withdrawal eligibility across multiple XFA accounts rather than a single one.
What the screenshot alone cannot confirm is the actual settlement of funds to the trader's bank. Eligibility for withdrawal, as the post phrases it, is a platform-side status, not a wire receipt. Readers weighing this proof should treat it as a dated, public, on-platform claim of an approved payout request, not as independent confirmation of cleared funds.
Taken together, the value of the post is its specificity. A named trader, a public timestamp, a documented dollar figure, and a firm whose payout mechanics are publicly defined. That is the kind of evidence that moves a payout claim from anecdote to something a reader can audit against Topstep's own published rules.
