TopstepX™ Symbol Block

Updated over a week ago

The Symbol Block helps traders limit their focus by blocking specific symbols, ensuring they stick to the products they trade best. It eliminates distractions and helps traders stay true to their strategy.

Why It Matters

Consistency is key to successful trading. Most traders struggle because they get sidetracked by temptation. Symbol Block encourages focused, disciplined trading, removing distractions that could derail your plan.

Key Benefits

  • Focus on the products you know best

  • Stick to just Micros or Minis

  • Reduce emotional, impulsive decisions

  • Foster consistent trading habits by eliminating temptation

Get Started with the Symbol Block

In your Risk Settings, find the Symbol Block section:

Enter in the Symbol(s) you would like to block and then click “Add Block”:

The symbol(s) you select will get queued up, and a save button will appear at the bottom of the screen:

Once saved, you won’t be able to trade the selected symbols until you click the “X” in the queue to remove them.

You can also choose to lock this risk feature for the day using the Daily Risk Lock (right below the Symbol Block).
