About Topstep

Topstep empowers futures traders globally, helping you develop skills and access real trading capital without risking your own money. Founded in 2012, we pioneered an evaluation program where you prove your trading abilities in a simulated environment. Successful traders then earn a funded account, trading with Topstep's capital. Over 4,000 traders in more than 160 countries have already received live capital through our programs. We provide not just funding, but also extensive education, real-time market updates, and a vibrant community, all designed to transform aspiring traders into consistent professionals.
