Curious what the current TopStep passed to funded timeframe is like to have an account set up (regardless if step2 to funded or pro to funded).

I know it used to be 10 business days give or take, but swear I read somewhere it's currently more like 5 (can't find where I read that though). It'd be with Tradovate I assume since I used the TSTrader platform.

TIA

@Topstep, I have a couple of questions regarding the FIO Challenge.

Once the winners are determined, is there a requirement on when they must begin the combine?

Also, I noticed that this is for a "1-month 150K Topstep Trading Combine." On your website, it states "Minimum Days (there is no deadline or time limit)" with 5 days for Step 1 and 10 days for Step 2. How does the "1 month" fit into this picture?

Thank you for your response and for sponsoring the Challenge!

I noticed that nobody commented on the decision of TopStep to make scaling plan easier... this is the email that I received on January 16th.
I think it is another proof that this company is extremely serious. I cannot stress enough how much TopStep has helped me improve my trading style.
Now that you can "forget" about the scaling plan, it becomes even easier to trade, because you will have less stress about making a mistake..... now it's really all about managing risk.

Good morning!

You'll be able to start the combine at your choosing - you will receive a discount code for the full one month subscription, so once that is activated you will have the free month.

The one month is what we are able to offer for this challenge, so timing will be up to you.

Thank you,

Team Topstep

Thank you for the kind words - we were excited about releasing these improvements. More exciting features to support you coming very soon!
