Real Talk

Watch Out

After payout, MLL resets to $0 - extremely vulnerable. New accounts TopstepX only (no NinjaTrader/Tradovate). Funded starts at 2-3 contracts (must scale up). VPS/VPN usage PROHIBITED. Positions must close by 3:10 PM CT. $30 ACH payout fee.

Best For

Disciplined traders who want free resets and a reputable name. Automated strategies work on TopstepX API. Good for traders who profit consistently (not lumpy).
