Account environment

Simulated account

The firm’s own page calls the balance simulated capital. It is not money the trader owns and it is not freely withdrawable.

USD 50,000.00 nominal balance. Not funds you own or can withdraw.

Current reviewed initial price: Not found in reviewed sources. Price checked 2026-10-19.

Who this may suit

Futures traders who can keep a 50k Combine above a 2,000 dollar trailing maximum loss and who understand a daily loss limit that flattens the session without, on that page, disqualifying the account.

Potential deal-breakers

Two Topstep help articles do not print the same consistency percentage. The subscription price was not on the articles captured.

Do not average 55 and 50. Ask the firm which article the dashboard enforces.

Daily loss limitSource reviewed

50k −1,000 dollars, 100k −2,000, 150k −3,000. The page says this liquidates the session and does not disqualify.

“50K Trading Combine = −$1,000.” “If an objective is violated during a trading session, it does not disqualify a trader from funding.” The session is described as 5:00 p.m. CT to 3:10 p.m. CT.
