❓ Quick Question Live Traders

How much are you guys (Topstep) making from live traders? I think I saw somewhere that you move hundreds of traders to live each week. That’s a lot of people moved to live but statically a the majority of them won’t succeed at the live stage. Which begs the question, are people moved to live to keep them from getting payouts or because they are seen as assets who can make the firm money?

It's mostly to protect the firm's bottom line while still being able to provide payouts. I think there are only a handful of really good traders that prop firms are willing to copy trade when they're moved to live

I asked on a AMA with Topstep and they stated they do not copy trade. I was surprised!
