TopStep does not offer a traditional free trial. All evaluations require an upfront fee.
Challenge fees:
- -$50,000: $49
- -$100,000: $99
- -$150,000: $149
The cheapest way to try TopStep is the $50,000 account at $49. Most prop firms refund the challenge fee with your first payout once funded.
Free alternatives to test your readiness:
- -Use Vigil's free trade audit to check if your existing trades follow TopStep's rules
- -Practice on a demo account with the same drawdown and daily loss rules
- -Use the Vigil trailing drawdown simulator to understand how TopStep's trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day) works
Before spending $49+, make sure you can:
- -Stay within 3% max drawdown
- -Respect the 2% daily loss limit
- -Hit the 6% profit target consistently on demo
If you cannot pass on demo with the same rules, you are not ready for a paid challenge.
