Where Topstep is strong
- Founded in 2012, one of the longest-running futures prop firms.
- Chicago headquarters steps from the CME, with deep futures pedigree.
- No time limit on the evaluation; the Combine is a monthly subscription.
- Accounts opened before January 2026 keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits.
Where it constrains traders
- Per-payout caps were reduced on new no-activation-fee combines in April 2026.
- The Combine uses an intraday-trailing drawdown, the strictest mechanic in its funnel.
- A 50% consistency rule caps how much of a balance can come from a single day.
- Pricing is a recurring monthly subscription rather than a one-time fee.
