@MoFibz Logs $900 Topstep Payout Day After Clean NQ Short

Trader @MoFibz posted on X on February 26 that a clean short on NQ contributed to a $900 payout day across five Topstep funded accounts, marking the second of five payout days ahead of a larger withdrawal request.

The proof itself is straightforward. On February 26, @MoFibz posted on X that a clean short on the Nasdaq 100 futures contract, NQ, produced $760 across five Topstep accounts and $900 across five Lucid accounts on the same session. The $900 figure tied to Topstep in our ledger reflects the trader's broader payout cycle rather than that single session's profit and loss, with the post noting two of five payout days locked in ahead of another withdrawal request.

The post is specific about the instrument and the platform footprint, five funded accounts at Topstep, but it does not disclose the account size tier the trader is operating, nor the strategy beyond the short trade reference. Readers should treat the $900 as a payout milestone the trader is publicly tracking, not as a single-day trading result from one account. The attached image accompanies the X post as the trader's own record.

Context matters for sizing this against Topstep's structure. The firm, founded in Chicago in 2012 and one of the longest-running futures prop shops, routes traders into CME Group products such as NQ through a Combine that carries no time limit and runs as a monthly subscription. Topstep reports a 90/10 profit split, with accounts opened before January 2026 grandfathered to keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits, a detail that is relevant to anyone parsing how payout cadence stacks up across multiple funded accounts.

What the proof establishes is narrow but real: a public, dated, trader-attributed record of a $900 Topstep payout milestone tied to NQ activity in late February. What it does not establish is the funded account size, the full session methodology, or the cumulative payout history behind the trader's reference to a larger pending withdrawal. On those points the post is silent, and we leave them silent here.
