Review for topstep
I am using TOPSTEP for last 1 year and i have great experience with TOPSTEP. I got my first propfirm payout from TOPSTEP then my confidence build i can also trade and take payouts and build career in trading . Customer support is also good. I have taken multiple payouts from them. TOPSTEPX platform is very easy to use to trade. They gave free reset sometimes. NOW their payout process is also fast , I overall love TOPSTEP.

Review for topstep
Topstep was the first prop firm since February of 2026 I ever used and got a payout on which was on a 150K account. I 've blown plenty of accounts before and after. But here's the thing with the training modules & topstep videos it definitely gave me a better understanding of what it is to be a prop firm trader. It will be challenging but worth it when you have a realistic plan to whether to retire using this or just to make side income it's all on you & Topstep can definitely do that. The rules are fair and standard, the customer service was amazing may issue was resolved. The feeling that I got when I got my first payout was indescribable my hard very hard work paid off. So even I blew the account afterwards that payout keep my in the game for life. I just wish sometimes they had longer dates on their promos, cheaper activation fees ( I can't tell them what to do but those fees definitely tore a hole in my pocket after awhile) , allow multiple live accounts in general but the live bonus programs that available upon every live transistion makes up for it and maybe a 25K & higher than 150K account. I've seen some as high as 300K but that comes with a lot like 15K profit target/5-7K drawdown, Somebody doing it but if topstep did it who knows what might happen even if they did a promo. I'd be happy to try it!!! Even though they change payouts on occassion, I'd still try because prop firm trading gives the everyday person the ability to learn a great skill, develop themselves personally & make an obnoxious amount of money!!!

Review for topstep
I have traded with Topstep for over 1 year. I have gotten multiple payouts with them and so far they have delivered. They have always paid out. Even though the payouts are nice, their support has been god awful in the past in which it would take days for them to respond. Ever since they started their own platform, ProjectX, things have been going downhill. But lately I have seen that the firm is making changes and are trying to make things right. Once you transition to Live, its a mixed review as you get a huge buffer compared to otherr firm which you start at 0, but topstep only lets you trade one account

Review for topstep
The most trusted futures prop firm in the industry. Topstep is the gold standard when it comes to futures trading. They have been paying out traders for over a decade, which gives huge peace of mind. The 1-Step Trading Combine is very straightforward, and their daily loss limit actually helps with risk management. Payouts are incredibly fast and reliable. If you want a firm that won't disappear overnight, Topstep is the answer.

Review for topstep
Topstep sadly leaving the 1st place in the prop space in my opinion, too many downgrades lately, still up there on the list but not as good as it used to be. Kept increasing price, only one that add taxes on challange fee and live account downgrade as well as sending people to live way too early.

Review for topstep
Topstep is the Granddaddy of the prop space. Fantastic rules, fair prices and (now) instant payouts if you're US based. I have never worried about not getting paid or any other shenanigans that other firms play. My only critique would be their marketing on how whatever the latest new change is, is good for the trader, when it's clearly just good for Topstep's bottom line. Just own it Like AJ from Lucid does and say it is what it is to have a sustainable business.

Not recommended for topstep
Overall there was a huge shift in topstep as of the last year. It used to be one of the best firms, but randomly all of a sudden payouts took significantly longer, when switching to topstepx platform and it originally came out there were an abundance of issues and while those are primarily fixed my review will be based on my experiences. As well as the payout I received taking a couple days to process which was insanely slow compared to other firms same day payouts. As well as them creating a rule that gave me a hedge violation for something that occurred MONTHS prior to them issuing a penalty WHILE the site was malfunctioning and no one could even trade it. I will say though that the customer care is fast, responsive, and generally very forgiving for issues.

Review for topstep
They were the top one futures firm. They still pretty good but not that outstanding anymore. Pretty similar rules like Tradeify / Lucid. The plans are the same. Topstepx is working again and can be used without any problems. Pretty solid and top 5 firms to Go!
