What We Do

Trading is more than an activity, more than a passion, more than a calling. It’s a lifestyle, a set of rules, and a mentality towards every aspect of your day.

At Topstep, we are passionately committed to helping our customers find true and replicable success.

Topstep is the premier funding opportunity for retail futures and forex traders. Our goal is to provide a safe environment so that traders can professionalize their passion and safely engage and profit in the financial markets. If you follow the rules and pass our simulated trading evaluation, called the Trading Combine®, you will be able to trade with our capital. Guaranteed.

Why Work With Us

We’re a bootstrapped B2C company with thousands of customers and a killer team. Every project that each team member works on directly impacts the company and our users, so empowerment and accountability are key. We value autonomy, creativity, and supporting one another, and it helps that we have fun together too!
