1. 1

   Choose Your Account Size

   Select a $50K, $100K or $150K Trading Combine. It is a monthly subscription that renews until you cancel.

2. 2

   Pass the Trading Combine

   Reach the profit target ($3,000 on 50K, per third-party sources) without hitting the Maximum Loss Limit ($2,000 on 50K), and keep your best day under 55% of the target. A Daily Loss Limit is optional at checkout.

3. 3

   Activate an Express Funded Account

   After passing, activate an Express Funded Account: $149 on the Standard path, $0 on the No Activation Fee path.

4. 4

   Request payouts when eligible

   Request payouts once you meet the winning-day rules (5 days of $150+ on Standard, or 3 days with max. 40% consistency on Consistency). Joined on or after 12 January 2026: 90/10 split.

Profit split

90/10 voor nieuwe accounts vanaf de start.

Op aanvraag zodra je in aanmerking komt (5 winstdagen van $150+ of Consistency-pad)

First payout

5 winstdagen van minimaal $150 (Standard) of 3 handelsdagen met max. 40% consistentie (Consistency)

90/10 voor traders die zich op of na 12 januari 2026 aanmeldden; eerder aangemelde traders houden 100% van de eerste $10K winst (daarna 90/10)

Payouts come only from funded accounts, never from a Trading Combine. Traders who joined on or after 12 January 2026 receive 90% of approved payouts; earlier traders keep 100% of their first $10,000 in lifetime profit. On the Standard path you need 5 winning days of $150+ net P&L and positive profit since the last payout; the Consistency path needs 3 trading days with a best day of at most 40% of profit. Minimum payout is $125, and per-request caps apply on the Express Funded Account (for example $2,000 on 50K Standard). Methods include Aeropay, Wise, ACH and wire; ACH and wire carry a $30 fee. Internal approval can take 1-3 business days.

Topstep offers account sizes of $50K, $100K and $150K, each with a contract limit (5, 10 and 15 contracts in the Trading Combine). Funded accounts follow a Scaling Plan, and Topstep's Risk Team can offer a Live Funded Account (Topstep capital) after consistent Express Funded Account performance. Live accounts are not available in all countries.

Maximum Loss Limit schuift aan het einde van elke handelsdag (EOD) omhoog maar wordt intraday bewaakt, inclusief open winst/verlies; stopt met meebewegen bij het startsaldo

The Maximum Loss Limit is $2,000 on a 50K Combine ($3,000 on 100K, $4,500 on 150K). It moves up at the end of each trading day, is monitored intraday (open profit and loss count) and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. A Daily Loss Limit ($1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000) is optional and fixed at checkout. Your best day may not exceed 55% of the profit target. You can lose the subscription fees, and the subscription keeps rebilling after a breach until you cancel.

Topstep's own site promotes TopstepX as its platform, with TradingView charts built in. Support for NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TSTrader (previously listed here) could not be confirmed on Topstep's current pages; check Topstep's platform list before buying.
