The trading day your Payout is requested doesn't count toward your next 3. For example, if your best trading day’s profit is $2,000, your total net profit must be at least $5,000 ($2,000 ÷ 0.4). This ensures that profits are distributed across multiple trading days, promoting consistent trading behavior.Stage: fundedSource: Payout condition consistencyLast verified:

    Trade Copier Trade Copier The Trade Copier lets you mirror trades from a Lead account to 1 or more Follower accounts automatically — so you can run the same strategy across multiple accounts without placing every order manually. Lead account — where you place your trades Follower account(s) — where those trades are copied to ✋ Before you connect accounts, please know: The Lead account must have the lowest Maximum Position Size (MPS) of all accounts in the group. Running a 50K, 100K, and 150K? The 50K is your Lead. If your Lead and Follower accounts are at different Scaling Plan tiers — meaning their margin requirements differ — the Trade Copier may disconnect automatically at the start of a new trading day. Always verify your copy trading settings at the start of each session. Trade copying is only available for Trading Combine® and Express Funded Account® accounts. Live Funded Account® accounts cannot use the Trade Copier. Filled orders on Follower accounts only appear in the Order Log after they're filled — not when placed. While a Follower account is connected, you can't trade it directly. If the order buttons are greyed out, the account is still linked. Remove it in Settings to trade it independently. Executions are mirrored — but exact fill price and timing may vary slightly due to slippage, liquidity, and market conditions. Turning off the Trade Copier mid-trade will immediately flatten all Follower accounts. Linking / Unlinking If the Lead hits its Daily Loss Limit or is auto-liquidated, all Follower accounts are flattened with it and no further trades copy while the Lead is locked out. The accounts stay linked — copying resumes when the Lead can trade again. You may unlink the accounts manually to trade the followers separately. If the Lead hits its Maximum Loss Limit, the account is permanently violated; unlink the Followers in Settings to trade them independently. If you select Liquidate Only when setting your PDLL/PDPT, when one of these violations fires on a follower, that account does get dropped from the copier before it's flattened. If you select Liquidate and Block when setting your PDLL/PDPT, when one of these violations fires on a follower, the account is locked out. It auto-resumes the next trading and does not get removed from Trade Copier. If the Scaling plan does not match between the Leader and followers - follower account will be automatically removed at the start of the trading day When a Payout request is submitted, Follower accounts are automatically unlinked. Check your settings at the start of every session. ⚠️ Important: Please read more about how copy trading can affect potential for hedging here. Risk Settings for Follower Accounts Follower accounts support a Personal Daily Loss Limit (PDLL) and/or Personal Daily Profit Target (PDPT). Trade Limits, Symbol Blocks, and Contract Limits are not available on Follower accounts. Where to find Settings: In TopstepX, Settings is the gear icon on the left side of the screen. Setting Up the Trade Copier Go to Settings → Copy Trading. Select your Lead account and check your Follower accounts. Click Save Changes. Turning Off the Trade Copier Go to Settings → Copy Trading. Click Clear → Save Changes. Adding or Removing Follower Accounts Go to Settings → Copy Trading. Check or uncheck accounts under Follow → Save Changes.

How to compare prop firm programmes

Start with the market and platform you use, then compare the exact programme and account size. A lower entry fee is only one part of the decision.

Check the total cost

Read the payment cadence alongside the price. Before paying, check renewal, reset, activation and platform or data charges in the provider's terms.

Use the evaluation checklist →

Understand the loss limits

Account size is not the amount you can lose. Check how the loss floor moves, when it updates and whether open positions count towards a breach.

Understand drawdown rules →

Read the next-stage terms

Check what happens after passing: account type, trading permissions and payout conditions. Required trading days and calendar waiting days are different.

Understand payout conditions →
