rules: Topstep may enforce liquidations if NQ breaches -5% late session — Topstep said it may intervene as volatility increases into the end of day session and NQ approaches the CME price limit. If NQ breaches -5% during the last half hour, Live Funded Traders will be liquidated to protect traders and the firm.
rules: Topstep reminds traders about 2% price-limit rule — Topstep reminded traders that trading within 2% of a price limit is prohibited and that holding positions near those thresholds is considered high-risk. The message points users to the help center article and Coach Robert's video for guidance on calculating price limits.
payout: Topstep adds 2X payout caps with DLL purchases and raises 150k pricing — Starting June 2, new Trading Combine purchases that add a Daily Loss Limit at checkout can unlock 2X payout caps across all account sizes. Topstep is also increasing the 150k Standard Trading Combine monthly price from $149 to $199 for new subscriptions.
