You’re not relying on willpower alone. TopstepX supports disciplined decision-making, so you can focus on execution.
TradingView charts, fully integrated
Switching platforms often means relearning the charts. With TopstepX, you don’t have to.
TradingView, the most popular charts in the world, is fully integrated directly into the platform. Your favorite indicators, drawing tools, and layouts are already right where you trade. It feels familiar from the first trade, so when opportunity shows up, you’re ready to act.
Drag-and-Drop Bracket Orders
TopstepX simplifies execution so you can trade with control.
Drag-and-Drop Bracket Orders allow you to enter quickly and set your stop loss and profit target directly on the chart. Every trade is protected from the moment you place it. With profit targets and stop losses that work together, you never have to worry about leaving an order on the charts.
The Tilt: Exclusive market insight
Only available on TopstepX, The Tilt™ shows the real-time long vs. short bias of active Topstep Funded Traders® in the S&P, NASDAQ, Crude Oil, and Gold. That means it shows you where Topstep Funded Traders are entering and selling, and if they are profitable or not.
Use it as confirmation. Spot positioning shifts. Add context to your strategy. It’s insight built directly into your trading workflow.
Trade with more control on TopstepX
Anyone can place a trade. The question is whether you can follow your plan, wait for your setup, and stick to your rules even when the market tempts you to do otherwise. The best platforms reinforce that.
If your current platform isn’t keeping you on track, it’s time to trade with one built by traders who know what it takes to win and want to see you do the same.
