Express Funded Account Information
The Express Funded Account™, sometimes referred to as the "XFA", is the simulated Funded Level account traders earn after passing the Trading Combine. After you’ve passed your Trading Combine and completed the necessary steps, you can start taking Payouts from your Express Funded Account based on our Payout Policy.
Traders are allowed to have up to five (5) Express Funded Accounts active at the same time. Take a look at the full details here: Multiple Express Funded Accounts.
Your Express Funded Account will show as having a $0 balance in your trading platform when you first start trading the account. The total number of contracts you're allowed in the Express Funded Account is determined by the Scaling Plan. Making additional profits will increase the number of contracts you're allowed to trade (up to the former Maximum Position Size from your Trading Combine).

Rules and Objectives for the Express Funded Account
Your main objective in the Express Funded Account is to work toward paying yourself by utilizing our simple Payout Policy. Additionally, the Scaling Plan is an objective that must be followed in the Express Funded Account to help protect your account. The Scaling Plan in the Express Funded Account™ replaces the Maximum Position Size in the Trading Combine.
Rules
There is only one (1) rule in the Express Funded Account:
Do not allow your Account Balance to hit or exceed the Maximum Loss Limit
Objectives
Follow the Scaling Plan
Do not hit or exceed the Daily Loss Limit** or your account will be deactivated for that trading day
**Beginning Sunday, August 25th (at 5 PM CT) any new or reset TopstepX™ accounts will be created without the Daily Loss Limit. This applies to Trading Combines and Express Funded Accounts only.
It's important to note that this update is for the TopstepX™ Trading Platform only. All other trading platforms, including, but not limited to NinjaTrader, Quantower, Tradovate, and TradingView still have the Daily Loss Limit Objective in place.
Just like the Trading Combine, the Express Funded Account is traded in a simulated environment, but the key differences between these accounts are important to know. 👇
Consistency Target - Unlike your Trading Combine account, there is no Consistency Target in the Express Funded Account.
Resets - Unlike your Trading Combine account, there is no option to reset an Express Funded Account. You can only reset a Trading Combine account, any Funded Accounts cannot be reset once a rule is broken. You can view more details here: Funded Rule Violation FAQ
Profit Target - Unlike your Trading Combine Account, there's no Profit Target in Funded Level Accounts
