Hi @andrej,

I don't think there is a problem with most of your post, but there definitely is with "stop trolling here matey."

Disagree all you like with someone else, but keep things professional rather than personal.

I have had to delete your last post. If you rephrase your points there would not be an issue. Just keep it civil and stay within forum standards.

Thanks.

Bob.

Sure thing Bob, hope this thread will be closed now.

LOL. Looks like we have a real alpha dog in the house.

And that's a genuine LOL, andrej. You made my day. I love you.

PS: Read your original comment that Bob deleted, too.

Hi @TraderAnna,

Thank you for sharing your story. It shows again how commercial parties with good marketing, always pretending to know how to make you trade successful, are trying to make use of the dream of many to become a professional trader, just for their own monetary gain. They pretend to be there for you, the trader, but they have little, if anything, to offer if you ask me. But that's just my opinion.

You mentioned Axia in London is too expensive for you. Did you know they have an office in Poland ( Axiafutures.com/about-us/, see bottom page)? Maybe that's something for you to think about. I believe there is also a small prop trading office in Split Kroatien led by Ivan Brzovic under the name IB-Trader. Could be it's just a vehicle to sell his course.

I am impressed with the mature and professional attitude you show(ed) and have no doubt you will achieve your goals. Wishing you all the best.

I have to make a decision about how to move forward and I got quite disappointed.
Short story:
My mentor advised me to get into a prop firm to save on comissions. A prop firm like Axia is too expensive for me at the moment because I would have to move to London so I have decided to try out Topstep. I did finally got funded, but I was not happy with my results so decided to take a break and close the account in April. They have confirmed that the money is on the way,but they refused my withdrawal in Jun. They offerd me to try it angain and they promised me that they will pay me out this time.
I still do not necessarily think that it is a bad company. I think their model can save a lot for many people. For me it looks like they are just too lazy to take a look at when were these steps passes and they automatically apply new rules to everyone retrospectively and not willing to take the time to take a closer look.

Question:
- Would you go ahead and retry? They said they would move me to PRO account so no Step1 and Step2 needed.
- Is this normal for companies like OneUp\Earn2Trade\TST\FTMO etc? Any other prop firm you would recommend?

Long story:
27th Apr-requested withdrawal
30th Apr-they have confirmed that they started the withdrawal process
4th June- I requested an update and they told me that it is still in progress
22nd June- they asked for my apology and promised to set up the transfer in 1-2days
23rd June- "You should expect to see funds in the next few business day"
25th June- Withdrawal refused. I can try the pro account again and that time they will pay.
The reason was that they have changed rules for Step1 and Setp2 after my withdrawal request and they allied it retrospectively.
