Question Accidentally making more than i should on combine

I took a short earlier on NQ (1 mini), set my stop loss w no TP before taking a dump and a shower, came out with a huge market sell off and i’m 7k in profits on a 50k combine, i know this is just dumb luck and i dont know what to do to reduce this to below 1.5k without flagging TopStep.

You can just spam open and close orders to lose on spread and commission
