Topstep is the most established firm on the futures prop side — in operation since 2012. It uses a trailing drawdown but also has a daily loss limit, meaning both limits must be tracked simultaneously. Its main weak point is its cost structure: the monthly subscription model comes out significantly more expensive during long evaluations compared to competitors charging a one-time fee.

How to pass the Topstep challenge?
At Topstep, the vast majority of disqualifications stem not from failing to reach the profit target, but from exceeding the loss limit. In the strictest plan daily limit $1,000, total limit $2,000. This means you need to calculate your risk per trade in advance based on the account size — a single excessive position can trigger both limits. You can use our position calculator to calculate position size.
