Built for Topstep Traders

Your Max Loss Limit trails on the close.
It kills you on an open trade.

Topstep moves your Max Loss Limit up behind your END-OF-DAY balance, but liquidates you the moment your INTRADAY equity touches it, unrealised P&L included. Two numbers, two clocks, and most traders only watch one. RB Trading tracks both live, plus your consistency percentage and target progress. Log your first 50 trades free, then $29.99/month with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Topstep Rule Tracker

Every Topstep rule. Tracked automatically.

RB Trading Pro Journal shows your exact position against every Topstep rule in real time, so you trade with clarity, not guesswork. Figures below are the Trading Combine, checked September 2026.

Max Loss Limit
$2,000 · $3,000 · $4,500
This is the rule that ends most Combines, and it works two ways at once. It trails your END-OF-DAY balance upward and never falls back, then locks permanently once it reaches your starting balance. But it liquidates you on INTRADAY equity, unrealised P&L included, so an open trade that runs against you can breach the account on a day your closed P&L never moved. After your first payout it is set to $0 for good. RB Trading tracks both numbers live.
Daily Loss Limit
Optional, and not a fail
Topstep’s daily loss limit is optional in the Combine, and triggering it is not a rule violation. Your positions are flattened and you are locked out until the next session opens at 5pm CT, but the account stays eligible for funding. Set it at checkout and it is fixed for good; add it later in Risk Settings and you can still change it. The journal logs a lockout as a forced break, not a failure.
Profit Target
$3,000 · $6,000 · $9,000
You have to reach and hold the target, not merely touch it. And you cannot pass in a single day: the consistency rule makes two the practical minimum. Progress bar tracks it live against your size.
Consistency Rule
50%, and it moves the target
Your best day divided by total profit must stay at or under 50%, and the twist is that breaking it does not fail you, it raises your profit target to best day divided by 0.50. You cannot fix that by trading more the same day, because the profit lands on the same best day and pushes the target higher again. Your best day locks at 3:10pm CT. The journal shows the percentage live and the target it would move to.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Topstep’s Max Loss Limit work?

Two clocks, and traders lose accounts by watching only one. The limit TRAILS your end-of-day closing balance, rising as that balance grows and never falling back, and it locks permanently once it reaches your starting balance. But it is BREACHED on real-time intraday equity, unrealised P&L included, so an open position can liquidate you on a day your closed balance never moved. If the threshold was breached while the trade was open the liquidation stands, even if the fill lands back above the line. On the Combine it is $2,000 on a 50K, $3,000 on a 100K and $4,500 on a 150K, and after your first payout it is set to $0 permanently. Checked September 2026.

What is the best journal for Topstep?

RB Trading. Pick your Combine size and the journal tracks the Max Loss Limit as it trails your end-of-day balance, measures your live equity against it, and shows your best day as a share of total profit so the consistency rule cannot quietly move your target. $29.99/mo, first 50 trades free.

Does the 50% consistency rule fail my Combine?

No, and this is the most misunderstood rule at Topstep. Your best day must stay at or under 50% of total profit, but exceeding it does not end the Combine, it RAISES your profit target: best day divided by 0.50 is the new total you need. So a $2,500 day on a 50K account moves your target from $3,000 to $5,000. Trading more on that same day makes it worse, because the extra profit adds to the same best day. The remaining profit has to come on other days. Best day locks at 3:10pm CT. Checked September 2026.
