Topstep's Response to COVID-19

We Care About Our Team and Our Traders

At Topstep, our top priority is the health and well being of not just our team members, but our entire community as a whole. We have taken all measures to give each member of our team the support and resources they need to keep themselves and their families safe.

We are also doing our part to help keep the traders that come to us to professionalize their passions for trading safe. Because of the extreme volatility in the markets due to the virus outbreak, we took every precaution to protect our funded traders from blowing out of their hard earned Funded Account.
