Topstep

Topstep copy trading

Topstep copy trading raises two questions: is it allowed, and can your tool do it. Start with the rules, then see where Quanify stands with TopstepX.

Start now Tradovate trade copier

TopstepX accounts connect with your username and an API key and follow a Tradovate leader. A TopstepX account as the leader is not available yet.

Read Topstep's rules before you arm anything

Topstep decides. Its terms differ between evaluation and funded accounts and change without notice, so read the current rulebook for the account you plan to arm.

Search it for copy, mirror, duplicate, multiple accounts and automated.

Where Quanify stands with TopstepX

Topstep accounts run on TopstepX, which is built on ProjectX. Quanify connects TopstepX accounts with your username and an API key, and they follow a Tradovate leader.

TopstepX accounts
Followers, connected with your username and an API key
Leader
A Tradovate account; a TopstepX leader is not available yet
Sizing
TopstepX followers take the same multipliers and Mute
Orders
Market orders on TopstepX; Live Funded accounts can't trade through the API
Install
Nothing; the broker session runs on Quanify's servers
Trigger
The broker's execution report, so partial fills copy as partials

Controls for a funded account

Sizing can't stop a gap, and Quanify doesn't track Topstep's drawdown or daily limits, so size well inside them.

Per-account sizing
A 50K evaluation and a 150K funded account don't have to trade the same number of contracts.
Mute
Pause one account for a news window. Mute is held by the engine, so a refresh or second device agrees.
Flatten
Close the group's positions and cancel its orders in one action.
Fixed contract size
On a webhook strategy, a fixed size overrides whatever quantity the alert carried.

Set it up and test it on an evaluation first

The configuration is the same on a simulated account, an evaluation and a funded account. The leader is a Tradovate account today, and TopstepX accounts follow it.

  1. 01

    Read the rules

    Confirm copying is allowed for each account type you plan to use.

  2. 02

    Connect and pick a leader

    Connect your Tradovate leader over OAuth and each TopstepX account with an API key, then switch followers on at their own multipliers.

  3. 03

    Run it on sim

    Trade real sessions on a Quanify Paper or demo account. Check a partial fill lands at the right size on every account.

  4. 04

    Mute one, then go live

    Mute one follower to confirm the others carry on, then point the group at the accounts you care about.

Questions

Common questions

Short answers to what traders ask first. Anything else, the Help Center has it.

Does Quanify support Topstep accounts today?

Yes, as followers. Topstep accounts run on TopstepX, which is built on ProjectX. Connect one with your username and an API key and it follows a Tradovate leader at its own size. A TopstepX account as the leader is not available yet.

Does Topstep allow copy trading?

Topstep's own rules decide, and they differ by account type and change over time. Read the current rulebook for your account and ask support in writing if a clause is unclear.

Can I copy between a Topstep account and a personal account?

Technically yes, if you own both. Whether it's allowed on the funded side depends on Topstep's rules for that account.

Do I need a VPS for a Topstep trade copier?

Not with a cloud copier. The broker session runs away from your machine, so copies continue with it off.

Can I stop one account without stopping the rest?

Yes, Mute it. A muted account stops taking fills while staying linked and configured, and the rest of the group carries on.

Will Quanify keep me inside Topstep's rules?

No. Quanify gives you per-account sizing and Mute to manage several accounts. It doesn't track Topstep's limits and can't make an account compliant with a rule that forbids copying.

How do I copy trade on Topstep?

Read Topstep's current rulebook first. Then connect the accounts to a copier that addresses each one individually, choose a Leader, turn on the Followers with their own multipliers, and turn Power on. In Quanify the Leader is a Tradovate account today, and TopstepX accounts can be its Followers.
