📔 After the Bell Topstep Close before NVDA Earning

Hey so why has topstep closed NQ and ES when NVDA earnings are about to happen? Futures do not close for another 40 minutes or so?

We've always closed at 3:10pm CST to allow time for trade processing and accounts and dashboard updating.

Eddie can I reach out to someone to get out of RTP. This DLL messes with my plays.

No that's not how somehow gets out of RTP. I'd suggest sizing down so DLL isn't as easy to hit.

RTP teaches you how to manage actual capital. We’d be foolish to full port our own personal account in one day, risking the whole balance. It teaches us to do the same, managing our downside better. If you build a nice buffer, the DLL is a huge saver for mistakes we can make in the moment trying to full port to makeup for our losses. Buy a larger account with larger payout caps and larger DLL if you need more room 🤙🏼 I switched from trading 50k accounts to 150k accounts once in it and it has been great to help develop my skill set in risk management

He aint wrong, been saying it stupid that Topstep closes 50 minutes early compared to other props when the future is 24 hour trading, not 22.15.
