What is Topstep?
Topstep is the industry-leading futures prop trading firm that focuses on teaching you how to become a funded futures trader with our proprietary technology, the Trading Combine®.
What is the Trading Combine?
The Trading Combine is a real-time, simulated evaluation of your trading performance, and it is built for you to demonstrate that you can manage risk and that our capital is safe in your hands. The Trading Combine is designed to ensure consistency and to help you achieve the ultimate goal of trading in a Funded Account with Topstep. There is only one step in our Trading Combine.
If you meet the objectives of your Trading Combine without breaking the rule, you will earn an Express Funded Account where you can start taking Payouts from your trading!
How do I earn funding and make money with Topstep?
The first step to getting started and earning a Funded Account with Topstep is to enter the Trading Combine.
Topstep gives you the chance to engage in the financial markets through Futures trading! You have the chance to take Payouts with Topstep by passing the Trading Combine and becoming a Topstep Funded Trader.
Once you've passed the Trading Combine and opened your Express Funded Account, you can start requesting regular Payouts based on our simple Payout Policy.
