Can I switch Trading Platforms?

If you decide you want to switch platforms after starting your Trading Combine, we have a few options for you:

  • If you've selected a platform on the Rithmic Data Feed, then you can connect to any other platform on the Rithmic Data Feed by following that platform's connection instructions. (Data Feed details for each platform are here: List of Supported Platforms.)

  • If you want to switch to a platform that uses a different data feed, this will require a new Trading Combine. Multiple Trading Combines are permitted, so it's up to you to keep or cancel your original subscription. Log in to your existing Topstep account and click "Start a New Combine" to purchase a new Trading Combine with your desired platform. (Do not create a new Topstep profile)

  • If the Trading Combine purchase was made within the last 72 hours and there has been no trading activity, we can usually assist with switching platforms. Please contact our support team, and we'll do our best to facilitate the switch.
