Topstep Standard 100K Program

TL;DR: Topstep Standard 100K is a one-stage simulated futures evaluation with a $6,000 target, $3,000 end-of-day maximum loss limit, and a 10-mini or 100-micro position cap. The base subscription is $99 per month and a reset is $99. Each earned Express Funded Account carries a separate $149 activation fee. Taxes, optional Level 2 data, reactivation, and repeated months can increase total cost.

Verification status: Claims were checked against current official sources on August 21, 2026. The next scheduled source review is August 28, 2026; because terms can change, verify the selected program against current official sources before purchase.

How the Standard evaluation works

Both purchase paths use the same 100K evaluation objectives: a $6,000 profit target, $3,000 end-of-day maximum loss limit, 50% evaluation consistency target, and 10-mini or 100-micro position cap. An optional Responsible Trading configuration adds a daily loss control and changes the price or benefits, so this record does not flatten that optional state into the base contract.

A profit target is only one part of passing. Traders should save the exact rule version and verify how open equity, closed balance, daily resets, consistency, approved trading times, position limits, and prohibited conduct are measured. Evidence validation does not replace checking the firm’s current rules for the selected account.

Standard cost boundary

The base subscription is $99 per month and a reset is $99. Each earned Express Funded Account carries a separate $149 activation fee. Taxes, optional Level 2 data, reactivation, and repeated months can increase total cost.

The practical cost to first payout can include repeated subscriptions, resets, taxes, platform or data upgrades, and post-pass charges. It also depends on how long the evaluation takes and whether a payout request meets every funded-stage condition. Compare the exact route at checkout and do not combine a lower price from one path with rules from another.

What happens after passing Standard

Passing can produce a simulated Express Funded Account under the selected Standard purchase path. Activation cost follows that path, while payout qualification, balance maintenance, caps, and any later live-account transition remain separate rules.

The $100K label describes program buying power or virtual starting balance, not a cash amount placed in the trader’s personal brokerage account. The funded-stage agreement controls account classification, risk limits, payout qualification, profit share, fees, and any move to live capital.

Who the Standard program may fit

• Traders who prefer the lower monthly price and can budget the post-pass activation fee.
• Traders whose sizing fits 10 mini or 100 micro contracts.
• Traders who can manage an end-of-day maximum loss rule and 50% evaluation consistency.

Standard cautions

• The purchase path cannot be changed on an active Trading Combine.
• The optional Responsible Trading configuration is a separate state with a daily loss control and recurring discount.
• Monthly billing, resets, taxes, data, and activation determine total cost.

What to verify before buying Standard

• Current price, billing interval, reset terms, taxes, and every post-pass charge.
• Profit target, daily loss, maximum loss, drawdown timing, consistency, and position limits.
• Evaluation, simulated funded, and live funded rules as separate stages.
• Payout timing, minimum request, buffer, caps, profit split, KYC, and payment method.
• Country, citizenship, platform, data, and exchange eligibility for the exact account.
• Any official change after August 21, 2026, with a full recheck no later than August 28, 2026.
