Important Changes to Topstep Supported Platforms:
Starting July 7th, new Trading Combines will only be available on TopstepX. You can continue trading an active account on the platform that you have currently selected and will be able (if needed) to reset that account. After this date, you will no longer be able to switch platforms or purchase a new Trading Combine on any platform other than TopstepX.
Starting August 1st, the ability to reset will only be available on TopstepX. You can still trade your active existing account. However, if the account hits the Maximum Loss Limit on a platform that is not TopstepX, you will no longer be able to reset that account. If that occurs, you will be able to activate a new account on TopstepX.

Take a look at the tips below to ensure you select the best platform for your needs.
Mac/iOS users: The only platforms currently available for Mac/iOS are TopstepX, MotiveWave, Bookmap, VolFix, TradingView, and Tradovate. Our other platforms only work with Windows-based computers.
Mobile device users: The only platforms currently available on mobile are Tradovate, T4, RTrader Pro, VolFix, and Motivewave.
For T4 users: All Trading Combines purchased or reset after 3 PM CT will be available the next trading day at 5 PM CT. We recommend purchasing Resets or Trading Combines before 2:30 PM CT to avoid this delay. Also, Topstep's Plus500 System does not currently include Micro contracts, so T4 users will not have the option to trade micros at this time. We are working to improve this process in the future.
For TradingView users: It's possible to trade on TradingView by purchasing a new Tradovate Trading Combine and enabling the TradingView add-on. The TradingView add-on is available for all Tradovate users. Click here to get started with the add-on in Tradovate.

Can I connect my TopstepX account to other platforms?
No, you cannot use TopstepX with any other trading platforms. TopstepX provides its own isolated market data feed, so it cannot be connected to other trading platforms.
It's important to note that TopstepX has TradingView Charts, but custom indicators are not currently available. We are working on including these in the future.
If you need to use TradingView Custom Indicators, you must use TradingView via a Tradovate account at this time.
