The most common issue encountered while attempting to log in to the platform is an error. Several reasons may cause this:

  1. Please ensure that you are entering the correct password to access the platform, as it is not the same as the one used for logging into your personal account. You can find the correct password on your personal cabinet, in your Trading Combine's information screen.

  2. Please ensure that you have chosen the correct server for connection, as it is crucial to use Topstep (Tostep trader Chicago Area, Topstep trader Europe, etc.)

  3. For new users, please make sure to sign two agreements first. You can easily do this in the Rtrader Pro platform.

Username & Password are Not Available (N/A)

If your Username and Password are not yet available (N/A), please contact Tosptep support. Typically, the full account activation takes 1-2 business days.

No symbols found at Topstep

Most popular trading questions:

How to set custom trading sessions for particular symbols?

To select a specific session on the chart, go to Chart settings -> View -> Sessions template. From the dropdown list, choose the session you need.

How to show/hide RTH or ETH sessions on the chart?

Sometimes, you may want to display data on the chart only for RTH (Regular Trading Hours) or ETH (Extended Trading Hours) session and hide all data that falls outside the specified session time. To do this, open the chart settings, go to the View section, and uncheck the "Show out of session history" option. This way, you'll see only the data relevant to the selected session.

How to place trades on Micro futures (MES) from the major futures (ES)?

Quantower allows traders to execute trades on micro futures from the chart of the main futures contract. For example, you can analyze the ES chart and place orders directly from it, but these orders will be automatically routed to the micro futures contract MES.

What's even more exciting is that you can configure mapping not only within one connection (Rithmic or CQG) but also across different connections (like dxFeed + Interactive Brokers).

Why Quantower does lost a connection to Rithmic after the Market closed?

This happens because Rithmic conducts technical maintenance or updates during this period. As a result, the platform cannot access market data while these updates are being carried out.

How to place OCO orders?
How to place Bracket orders?

Once you set your SL (Stop Loss) and TP (Take Profit) parameters, every market or limit order placed from the chart will be sent with these bracket orders. This ensures that your trades are automatically managed according to your predefined risk/reward parameters.

Why I can not add more than 2 indicators?

Topstep accounts will be provided with the Premium Feature Bundle for free:

  • Charting (Maximum 2 indicators per chart)

Is there a fee for copy trading?

Topstep traders can enjoy free Copy Trading, which operates under a single login that includes multiple accounts.
