How to pass Topstep
A plan built on Topstep's own rules. The numbers below use the Topstep 50K account.
- 1
Know the line you can't cross
Topstep trails your drawdown at the end of the day, from your highest closing balance. Intraday swings don't move the line, but a red close does. On the Topstep 50K account you have $2,000 of room before a breach.
- 2
Size every trade from the room, not the account
Risk a slice of your drawdown, not of the account size. With $2,000 of room, risking $200 per trade gives you about 10 losing trades in a row before a breach.
- 3
Respect the daily loss
Your daily loss limit is $1,000. Stop for the day at half of it — $500 — and you will never meet the hard limit on a bad day.
- 4
Aim for the target slowly
The target is $3,000. At $600 a day you get there in about 5 winning days, with no single day doing all the work. Topstep applies a 50% consistency rule: no single day may be more than 50% of your total profit. Spread the gains.
- 5
Learn one model, and journal it
Pick one setup from the ICT path, trade only that, and log every trade. Propbook tracks Topstep's rules on each one.
