FAQ
Is Topstep better than Propr.xyz?+
For regulated CME futures with a serious, transparent operator, Topstep is one of the best in its category — it even publishes its own pass rate (16.8% in 2025). For cost structure and payouts, Propr wins: a one-time fee from $25 versus a monthly subscription, and a 3m 04s median on-chain payout versus winning-day gates and 1–3 business days of approval. Pick futures or crypto first, then the firm follows.
How much does Topstep really cost?+
The Trading Combine is a subscription: $49–$229 per month depending on account size ($50K/$100K/$150K), renewing until you pass or cancel. With an official pass rate of 16.8% in 2025, most traders should budget for more than one month. Propr charges a single one-time fee (from $25) with no time limit.
How do Topstep payouts work?+
On the funded XFA account you need 5 winning days of $150+ each before requesting, requests are capped between $2,000 and $12,000 (min $125), and approval takes 1–3 business days — then Aeropay (US, near-instant) or Wise (international, 1–3 days). The LFA live account removes caps and allows daily payouts after 30 winning days. Propr pays on demand from $20 with no gates, median 3m 04s.
Can I trade crypto on Topstep?+
