Introduction
Copy Trading in Topstep
Topstep is one of the industry's most established futures prop trading firms, offering funded accounts in the $50,000, $100,000, and $150,000 Trading Combine. With over a decade of experience, Topstep has become a trusted choice for serious futures traders looking to scale their capital.
While Topstep uses Tradovate as their trading platform, there's no built-in copy trading functionality. This guide will walk you through how to set up professional trade copying with your Topstep accounts using PickMyTrade.
