The Trading Combine has one single rule and several objectives. Keep reading for more information on the rule and objectives, and some helpful resources as you get started.
If you meet these parameters and achieve the Profit Target for your account size, you'll progress to the Express Funded Account. Additionally, it's essential to understand the Maximum Position Size and Permitted Products and Trading Hours.
Rule:
Do not allow your Account Balance to hit or go below the Maximum Loss Limit
Objectives:
Reach and maintain the profit target
Consistency Target: Best Day below 50% of total profits made
Do not hit or exceed the Daily Loss Limit** or your account will be deactivated for that trading day
*Beginning Sunday, August 25th (at 5 PM CT) any new or reset TopstepX™ accounts will be created without the Daily Loss Limit. This applies to Trading Combines and Express Funded Accounts only.
It's important to note that this update is for the TopstepX™ Trading Platform only. All other trading platforms, including, but not limited to, NinjaTrader, Quantower, Tradovate, and TradingView still have the Daily Loss Limit Objective in place.
