Traders generally describe the evaluation as straightforward, with several noting clear rules, useful risk controls, and beginner-friendly teaching, though some dislike monthly fees and frequent rule changes. Payout feedback is mixed: some report reliable or fast payouts, others …
I traded with Top Step for my first account but found I had difficulty passing the combine and was charged every month for my account. I only want a one time charge and done. I am a beginner/intermediate trader so I need more experience to pass these accounts.
I like the teaching they have on Top Step
I don't like the monthly charge and I don't like that you have to use their platform instead of what I am used to which is Tradovate and trading view.
Let’s start with the issues I’ve experienced with this prop firm. First, I had an issue with my KYC verification, which required me to create another account in order for my KYC to be successfully verified. After that, I ran into another issue with the login system. It appears that if you initially sign up using an email address associated with “Sign in with Google,” you are only able to access the account through that method. There is no option to set up a traditional username and password, which creates unnecessary complications when trying to access the account. Then, early last month, I was unexpectedly charged for a payment without receiving any prior notification. From what I understand, this was related to an issue with their payment processor. I contacted Topstep customer service about the charge, but unfortunately, they were not very helpful and did not seem concerned about resolving the issue. What made the situation even more confusing was that the debit card supposedly used for the charge no longer exists. That card had previously been stolen, and I had already replaced it. Despite this, I was still somehow charged, which raised additional concerns about how the payment was processed and what payment information was actually being used. Overall, the combination of the KYC issues, restrictive login system, unexpected charge, and lack of meaningful assistance from customer service has made this experience extremely frustrating. Oh also it’s not a fast quick process when it comes to getting your first payout.
Their interface with a trading platform is quite nice and better than TradingView.
Everything else
I've had a great experience with Topstep overall. One issue I ran into was with my tax forms, and I was a little worried about getting it resolved. I contacted customer support, and they got back to me the very next day. They were professional, helpful, and kept me informed throughout the process. My issue was completely resolved within about two days. The customer service was excellent and made the whole experience stress-free. It's reassuring to know that when you have a problem, there is a responsive team ready to help. Between the support, the trading environment, and the opportunities Topstep provides, I've had a very positive experience and would highly recommend them foe anyone new getting into trading.
What I liked most about Topstep was the customer service and how quickly I received my payout. When I had an issue with my tax forms, their support team responded the very next day and helped resolve the problem within about two days. They were professional, helpful, and made the process easy. I was also impressed by how fast and smooth the payout process was. It's great knowing that when you follow the rules and earn a payout, the process is straightforward and efficient. Overall, I've had a great experience with Topstep. The excellent customer service and fast payouts are what stood out to me the most, and I would definitely recommend them to other traders.
If I had to mention one downside, it would be that TopstepX was occasionally a little wonky at times. Every now and then I experienced minor platform issues or things not working exactly as expected. However, these were usually small issues and never caused any major problems for me. Overall, the platform was smooth to use most of the time, and I never ran into anything serious that affected my trading experience. The strong customer service and fast payout process more than made up for the occasional platform hiccup.
Overall experiecne with this firm is good but in December 2025, we had some major issues with their platform. very frustrating experience. Now their platform is stable. but they keep changing their rules very often which is annoying.
Constant changing of rules and conditions
Topstep provides a great environment for traders to prove their skills and access funded accounts. The platform is straightforward, and the evaluation process encourages disciplined trading. Overall, it's a solid choice for traders looking to grow without risking large personal capital.
The clear rules and opportunity to trade funded accounts make it easier to focus on consistency and risk management.
The evaluation rules can feel restrictive at times, especially during volatile market conditions.
I personally find their topstep x platform the best for mobile trading when I'm working my 9to5 or taking a walk. They also have terrific risk management settings. I think their rules which have changed a lot in the past 12 months are for the most part straight forward. The payouts are getting faster but still nowhere near other competitors in speed. The customer service isn't as convenient or approachable as other firms but the firm has staying power. It's my preferred futures firm right now.
The best so far.
TopstepX platform,settings for lockout and many things...
Topstep used to be one of the top future firms but they recently kinda f**"* up with there trading platform, i really hate that shit.
PAYOUTS
Trading platform (X)
Project x despite some performance reviews is still my favourite platform to trade on and is what keeps topstep number one for me despite them lowering their payout cap to 2000 and some performance issues they have. also support is usually pretty good at handling any queries i had.
project x is my favourite platform to trade on still to this day
payout times were not very good it 8 days to get mine processed which pretty bad compared to other firms like mffu.
Worst prop ive ever dealt with. in the process of switching directions and they gave me a hedging violation with 0 time to fix anything. worst company in the world. cheated me out of 2 payouts because of it, even tho i had them processed already. never use this scam of a company.
nothing, they should be bankrupt. DONT USE THEM
