Topstep customer reviews

Summary
Reviews are mixed but lean positive overall: many traders praise Topstep for fair, timely payouts, helpful and often responsive customer support (several agents named positively), useful risk tools and charting on the TopstepX/TradingView platform, refund/reset credits, discounts and bonus incentives, and strong community resources like Discord and Topstep TV. The platform and risk settings are frequently credited with helping traders manage and avoid account blowouts. However, a notable minority report serious operational problems: recurring outages, platform freezes, execution issues (slippage and fills that differ from charts/DOM), and canceled data subscriptions mid-term, which some say caused lost profits or failed evaluations. Several users describe unsatisfactory handling of outage-related losses—requests for video proof, denied compensation, or slow/escalated support—leading to accusations of inconsistency or worse. Experiences with billing and fraud resolution are also mixed, with at least one complaint of an unresolved charge. In short, many traders find Topstep trustworthy and well-supported with strong tools and payouts, but repeated stability and execution issues and uneven dispute resolution remain important concerns for some users.

Horrible service, passed eval than they blocked my account telling me my account is inactive.

I had a great experience with TopStep’s support team. I initially had an issue with an accidental renewal, and the support team handled it very professionally and fairly. Paul took the time to review my case carefully, explained everything clearly, and ultimately resolved the situation with a refund. The communication was friendly, transparent, and efficient, which I really appreciated. Situations like this show how important good customer support is, and TopStep definitely delivered here. I’m happy to continue trading with TopStep and would recommend them to anyone looking for a prop firm with responsive and helpful support.

Blatant SCAMMERS! Stay away from topstep! By far the worst experience trading ever on their platform. Super shady!

Lost an account during the December madness, but Topstep is still my go-to prop choice. I have been through support on other occasions, and it is top-tier, quick, and responsive. Topstep also has the best risk settings that prevented me from blowing multiple accounts, and the best layout out of any other firm. Most of the bad reviews are mad they didn't receive a free handout.

While recently there have been some hiccups (what company doesn't have them) overall my experience with Topstep has been fantastic. Fair and clear rules and they have always paid out on time without issue as long as things are followed. Topstep X once stabilized is the bee knees for risk management which is critical if you want to make it anywhere in this business. Even though they've had a rough patch, I still wouldn't want to spend money anywhere else. No other prop firm has a 15+ year track record.

I passed an account these guys openly denied it, I have the screenshot of me making $3000 on the account. Then on another account I faced a problem with my topstepx these guys even denied that too after talking to support for over a week. Used to be my fav prop firm but not anymore.

I have several issues related to my trading combine and questions that were promptly answered by Jennifer, What an absolute legend for helping me out. Low-key I didn't know some seemingly simple stuff but she guided me through it step by step and I'm now on my way to becoming a topstep trader!

I experienced a technical issue regarding the Maximum Loss Limit and Miss Laura was extremely helpful and quick to respond. They handled my issue and even gave me recompense for my troubles.

Support improved a lot since I've been using them .I remember 3 years ago, it would take forever to get a response from them. They have support agents like Benjamin who is doing a fantastic job.

I’m beyond frustrated with Topstep right now. One of my trades literally disappeared from their system — gone, vanished, like it never happened — and they refuse to take any responsibility for it. Imagine doing everything right, managing risk, following rules, and then being told your trade “doesn’t exist.” That’s not just a glitch, that’s disrespect for the trader grinding behind the screen. We put trust (and money) into these firms expecting transparency and reliability. When they fail to recognize real trades, they’re not just failing the platform — they’re failing the people who make their business possible. I’m seriously questioning whether they value traders or just the fees we pay. Topstep, you need to do better. Losing trades in your system and gaslighting the trader about it? That’s not professional. It’s shameful.

terrible firm, they will ban you if you ever become "too profitable" I was banned after making 75k and randomly got banned just because, i had very few blown accounts as well.. TopstepX has to be THE WORST platform to trade on aswell, insane slippage and execution. Please save your money and sanity and trade with another firm!

Topstep has proven they are trustworthy and a joy to work with. Tech support is very prompt. I have been trading since 2018 using my own money and lost over $80000. Topstep showed me how I can earn every week for less. Thyanks Team Topstep

I am so happy to have found TopStep and their platform thanks to my boy John from Beginner Trading on YT and TopStepX is freaking amazing and super easy to use! Their team is top notch! Jose was truly amazing at answering all my questions! He responded super fast and was able to show me the payouts etc! Can't say enough about this platform and their crew!

I rock with them 100%. Been with them since they started. Single handedly they raised the bar in in the prop firm space with TopStepX platform, TopStep TV and other clutch trader focused dashboard features. Hands down I prefer them over all others. I've never had an issue with my payouts, quick (2 to 3) business days. Yes they have had some technical difficulties as of late (platform freezing during key events, lagging) which they have attributed to growing pains. At the end of the day they work hard to make things right, so I sit tight. I can't say that about other firms that point the finger to a 3rd party platform and say: its not "us" its "them". TBH if my account gets cooked due to no fault of my own I don't want to hear that, just fix it. TS takes responsibility and hold themselves accountable, I respect that. I think their CS is on point and I've never had a problem reaching a live person. Most recently they discontinued the Legacy Combine prices for early traders. What?! Ok, you created the TSX ecosystem just migrate it over. No? Nobody thought of that? Well then CS people like Mike K. need advanced super powers! He followed up, answered emails and turned what felt like a rug pull into a positive experience. Good customer service goes a long way.

Thank you so soooo much to Gabe for resolving my issues very quickly and being super patient with me and my situation! Gabe not only resolved my issues, but gave an outline made it up me to allow me to get back onto my trading journey. Literally everything got resolved within 30-minutes which is much faster than Topstep used to resolve things in the past. Good looks, Gabe and thanks again. I am literally able to get back right in the market today and won't have to wait days. Great experience, seriously and truly.

When ticket get escalate to L2 it literally feel like another decade before a update is provide. Also if my account is close despite position was moving up with market direction and being close in profit. Apparently their L2 think this Maximum loss when it isn't. Can't even argue with these L2 since they go through their L1 to relay information. Such huge waste of time.

This is the best propfrim in the industry they have the best rules they are the most rewarding and they also have the best support team. They are very quick to respond to emails and they actually want their traders to succeed using the platform. The two people from topstep which has been a very big help in my experience is Mike K and armanda they have helped me alot this year and they respond quickly and try to help me as much as they can. Its very easy to pass an account here and to get a payout as they dont have many restrictions.

They were the best prop firm in the space until they completely flipped around and started delivering some of the worst service ive seen from a prop firm. Now support wont help you with anything and the owner Mike keeps saying he will give traders compensation for blowing all their accounts, yet he sits on x and talks about how much he loves the bears when he has thousands of trades waiting for the past month for him to "Make it right" for all the damages top step caused their traders
