TraderPilot for TopStep native integration.
Connect your TopStep account, automate execution and let the risk engine respect the Trading Combine rules for you.
What the TopStep integration does
TraderPilot for TopStep is a desktop app that connects to your TopStep account and handles the part that blows the most accounts: risk management. Instead of manually watching your daily loss and your drawdown, you enter the rules once and the system enforces them on every trade.
It works on evaluation accounts as well as Express Funded and funded accounts. All execution happens locally on your Windows PC: your credentials never leave your machine.
TraderPilot is not a TopStep service and is not affiliated with TopStep. It is an independent execution and risk-management tool compatible with TopStep accounts.
How to connect your TopStep account
Get your TopStep account
Sign up with TopStep and obtain your evaluation or funded account, with the platform credentials the firm provides.
Install TraderPilot for TopStep
Buy your license, download the app from your dashboard and install it on your Windows PC. The license binds to that machine's Hardware ID.
Connect your credentials
In the app's Account tab, enter your TopStep account credentials. The app validates the connection and shows CONNECTED status.
Configure your risk
Set your maximum daily loss, drawdown, contract cap and time window to match your TopStep plan's rules.
