The Daily Loss Limit is no longer a rule.
Here are the details:
The Daily Loss Limit is still important:
We now offer traders the perks of a Trade Desk with risk assistance. Call our Risk Managers at the Trade Desk to help you execute trades. Additionally, they will now attempt to flatten positions for all traders daily at 3:08 PM CT.
We’re flattening your positions at the end of the day.
As a part of our commitment to always moving you forward, our Risk Managers will begin attempting to flatten trades starting at 3:08 PM CT. If you are trading a futures contract that closes before 3:10:00 PM, you need to exit that market prior to the daily close to ensure you are flat for the 3:10:00 PM CT hard cutoff.
You can now earn and take payouts from up to three Express Funded Accounts™ at the same time!
The Details:
Whether you want to test and hone various strategies or scale one up, we’re giving you the space to safely trade your way. Please be mindful in your approach, as 3x the ability to profit can become 3x the losses if risk isn’t properly managed. Always have a plan!
*Our prohibited conduct policy remains in effect. Hedging is considered illegal and will not be permitted.
Topstep’s Express Funded Account is the fastest path to earn from your trading and take payouts. After a successful pilot program and positive feedback, it is now available for all Funded Traders!
What does this mean?
The Express Funded Account is a simulated account that is offered after you pass Step 2 of our trading combine. Your trades inform our prop firm trades, and we both earn real money. All upside, no downside.
Quantower users can now earn funding with Topstep®! Execute advanced trading strategies with premium tools and features valued at nearly $100, FREE exclusively to those starting a new Trading Combine®.
We’re excited to introduce Deel®, our new payment platform to upgrade the Funded Trader experience. With Deel, you can expect new payout options, faster access to payouts, and simplified processes.
After passing Step 2 of the Trading Combine®, a Deel contract and sign-up link will be sent to your email. If you are currently in a Funded Level Account™, you will receive instructions on your first payout after January 9th, 2023.
It’s even easier to stay funded with Topstep®. Regardless of a positive or negative balance in your account, Funded Traders® are now only three trading days away from being funded again. For Funded Traders®, you will be given the chance to advance to Step 2 after your account is closed!
If you ever lose a Funded Level Account, we recommend waiting for a follow-up email with more information before making a new Trading Combine purchase.
WHO GETS IT?
All active Funded Traders® and those who reach the Funded Level™ on or after October 4, 2022!
Topstep® removed two rules from all 50K, 100K, 150K Trading Combine and Funded Level™ accounts for both new & existing traders. We removed the Economic Release and Weekly Loss Limit rules, allowing you to take your strategy into your own hands. We are here to guide you through your trading journey, giving each trader the proper tools and opportunity to succeed.

Economic Releases |
Weekly Loss Limit |
|
Why? We’re placing more responsibility in the hands of our traders to take advantage of economic news events. |
Why? This places the obligation of weekly risk management on the trader without the reminder of a Weekly Loss Limit. |
*Disclaimer: All swing accounts will still have the Weekly Loss Limit rule in place.
Topstep processes payouts daily, so you can get your hard earned money in little to no time! We have taken steps to payout out Funded Topstep Traders as quickly as possible.
Payouts generally take 2-5 business days to receive from your bank. Additional time is needed during bank holidays. If bank information submitted to Topstep contains errors, or your tax forms are incomplete. Some banks need additional processing time for international wires.
Topstep® offers all Funded Traders a 90/10 Profit Split! Topstep wants to reward disciplined, well-deserving traders. Learn safely with Topstep while keeping more of your hard work.
How does a Funded Trader get the 90/10 Profit Split?
Topstep Funded Traders who have successfully completed the Trading Combine® are eligible to receive Topstep’s First Payout Bonus. The First Payout Bonus, equal to your last Trading Combine subscription payment, provides traders with extra capital to invest in themselves - use it to buy a trading book, register for a class, or bank it; it’s your money, use it your way.
The Consistency Target measures a trader's ability to balance making repeated profits and managing risk, so you can turn your passion into a profession, consistently grow your account, and most importantly, pay yourself. The Consistency Target replaces Minimum Days in Step 2 and was added to the Pro Account for new subscriptions starting after this release.
TradingView is now one of Topstep’s recommended trading platforms. Combine two of the most trusted players in the industry to earn Futures funding and join our elite group of traders who have already received payouts of over $2,000,000 in 2021!
It goes without saying — TradingView is a top-tier trading platform. Here’s why millions across the globe love them:

The Trading Combine® and Pro Account® now reject any orders that exceed your Scaling Plan limit. This update is for traders using TSTrader and Rithmic, including NinjaTrader, only.* Focus on maximizing profits from beginning to funding, not mistakes.
