Liked most: Simplicity and how easy it is to trade with TopstepX

Liked least: The pricing of the plans/activation, it can be more competitive.

Topstep was definitely my best experience in trading overal.. From the plans structure to the actual trading in their own platform, it was amazing. I look forward to keep trading with therm and try to get my payout!

Liked most: The dashboard and the support team.

Liked least: Nothing as such.

It feels like a solid and structured prop firm so far. Trading conditions are stable, spreads are fair, and execution is consistent. The rules are strict but clearly defined, which helps you stay disciplined. Customer support is responsive and answers questions quickly, which gives confidence when you’re still in the process. I haven’t made a payout yet, but overall the platform feels transparent and professional compared to many other firms. It seems more focused on long-term trading than quick wins.

Liked most: Used to have very straightforward rules - I do like that the Futures Desk folks are running TopStep Labs

Liked least: Platform issues, how they rugged everyone with TopStepX/Project X

Still one of the oldest prop firms out there, but TopStep has lost a lot of support in the community after their Project X fiasco that left traders in disarray after they announced that none of the other firms will have access to it after a series of outages that conveniently rugged many traders. I haven't traded with them since then, personally. They used to have very straightforward rules and was known as the anti-Apex prop firm but now they're kinda in the same category as Apex for me. Their support is slow/non-existent, they came out with some new plans but are quite expensive, and they still only use Project X platform.

Currently on my Topstep eval and enjoying the process so far. The platform is smooth and the rules are clear. Solid reputation as well. Looking forward to getting funded, eventually copytrading accounts and receiving multiple payouts down the line. No complaints at the moment.

Liked most: How easy their charts were to use and navigate.

Liked least: They almost never offer discounts

Initially I was in love with TopStep, but eventually I moved away from them for a number of reasons. While I love how easy it was to use, there were constantly changing rules and it was pricey.

Liked most: UI

Liked least: rules

Topstep is the gold standard for futures prop trading, backed by a proven track record since 2012. Its Trading Combine evaluation features clear profit targets, an end-of-day trailing drawdown, and excellent platform integration like NinjaTrader and TopstepX.

Traders benefit from generous profit splits—including keeping 100% of the first $10,000—and reliable payout processing. While monthly subscription costs can add up if you struggle to pass, Topstep’s long-standing industry reputation, educational resources, and strict regulatory compliance make it a top choice for disciplined day traders.

I enjoy trading their platform which is close to Tradingview but their monthly fees are expensive while other props offer one-time fee as well.

Liked most: TopstepX platform and Payout Cap

Liked least: Payout Method

I've really enjoyed trading with Topstep. The rules are clear, TopstepX has been smooth to use, and I like that the firm encourages consistency instead of risky trading. The Double Payout Cap is a nice feature because it gives traders the opportunity to access larger payouts while staying disciplined. Overall, everything has been straightforward, and I'd definitely recommend Topstep to anyone looking for a reliable futures prop firm.
