Where Topstep wins, where it doesn't.
Auto-generated from raw factor data. Regenerated on every data refresh.
Trust & Transparency 10.0/10
Topstep earns the ceiling Trust & Transparency score: 14 years operating, identified leadership, registered HQ, and a Trustpilot rating of 3.5 with 15018+ reviews. Combination of disclosed leadership, real address, and validated public reputation hits all four trust signals.
Scaling Potential 9.0/10
Scaling Potential is ceiling-tier across Topstep accounts. $1M+ max scaling, clear milestone-based scaling plan, multiple-accounts allowed, and split escalation up to 100%.
Payout Reliability 5.0/10
Payout Reliability is mid-tier. Some verified payouts (≈0 in 90d) but payout speed or sporadic refusal reports keep the score below the strong threshold.
Regulatory & Legal 6.0/10
Regulatory & Legal is mid-tier. Topstep is registered in (offshore but reputable), with readable ToS. Score rises if jurisdiction upgrades or financial licensing is added.
Profit Split & Payout Terms 8.0/10
Profit Split & Payout Terms are strong across Topstep accounts. 80%+ split, modest payout threshold, 1-2 day payout cycle, and partial refund or paid reset on fail.
Challenge Difficulty 6.5/10
Challenge Difficulty is strong. 1-step evaluation with 8-10% profit targets, mild consistency rule, generous time limits.
