Targets, loss limits & trading days
Profit target
$9,000 initial target; may increase under the consistency rule.
Daily loss calculation
$3,000 fixed daily limit; hitting it pauses trading until the next session, rather than failing the account.
Overall loss calculation
$4,500 end-of-day trailing maximum loss. Monitored against equity intraday; the floor never falls and locks at the starting balance.
Required trading days
As few as 2 evaluation days, subject to consistency.
Profit split & payout eligibility

Profit share: 90%

XFA Standard: 5 winning days of $150+; Consistency: 3 days and 40% target.

Best day at or below 55% of total profit in the Combine. A larger day increases the profit needed to pass; XFA Consistency uses a separate 40% rule.

Subscription, activation and resets

Monthly advertised fee $199. No XFA activation fee on this pricing path. Public checkout lists a $199 paid reset and a reset credit on each rebill. A rule breach does not automatically stop the subscription.

Payout caps for this size

Normal XFA caps: $5,000 on Standard or $6,000 on Consistency. The currently advertised new-purchase DLL offer raises these to $10,000 / $12,000. Requests also cannot exceed 50% of the balance; the 90/10 split applies. Minimum request $125.

Daily limit selection

The $3,000 daily loss limit is fixed when purchased and continues in the XFA. Triggering it closes positions and blocks the rest of the session; the maximum loss rule remains independently enforceable.

Checked 2026-09-28. Public checkout plan summary checked at https://dashboard.topstep.com/checkout/68?origin=cms. Subscription rebills every 30 days. Taxes depend on billing location and were not verified. Includes a fixed daily loss limit that carries into the XFA.
