THIS IS THE BIG LEAGUES

Getting to the Big Leagues proves that you can play at the highest level, and we treat it that way! Here’s what makes the Live Account experience different:

STARTING BALANCES UP TO $150K OF REAL CAPITAL

Topstep offers the highest starting Live balances in the industry. Show us you can trade, and get called up with size.

WE COVER DATA FOR ONE EXCHANGE*

Once you’re called up, we cover the cost of activating your Live account and your CME data fee. As long as you’re Live, you’re covered.

DYNAMIC LIVE RISK EXPANSION

Your Daily Loss Limit adjusts with your account balance, so traders with $100K+ can request to trade more contracts than the standard limit for their account size.

100% ACCOUNT ACCESS & DAILY PAYOUTS AFTER 30 WINNING DAYS

After 30 winning Live days of $150+, you unlock full access to account balance & daily payouts. Before that, take up to 50% every 5 winning days.

CLARITY. SUPPORT. STRUCTURE.

You get a clear path to live, access to group coaching and support, with the structure to help you grow and learn to trade like a pro.

*CME market data is the default. Contact the Trade Desk to switch exchanges.

PERFORMANCE BONUSES OVER $250,000

TopstepX Traders who grow their Live account can earn bonus cash on top of their profits. This is how we reward consistency, discipline, and real skill at the highest level.

DYNAMIC LIVE RISK EXPANSION

Your Daily Loss Limit adjusts with your account balance, and once you hit $100K, you can contact the Trade Desk to increase your contract limits. Consistently grow your account and earn more room to trade! If your account hits a rough patch, our Path to Reduction helps manage risk with lower limits until you rebuild.
