We're working on one
Topstep launched in 2012 and opened its first office in Chicago's West Loop a year later. US eligibility isn't really the question here.
What US buyers do need to understand is how the Combine is billed and what it costs to activate a funded account.
Can Americans buy Topstep?
Can a US resident buy this?
Yes. A Chicago firm; their eligibility rules exclude only sanctioned and restricted countries.
“Eligibility is based on both citizenship and permanent residency. OFAC sanctions and partner restrictions apply.” — their own words

Is Topstep a real, operating business?
Before a code matters, the company behind it has to be real and reachable. Here’s what Topstep’s own site and documents tell us.
- Legal entity
- Not yet confirmed
- Based in
- Chicago, IL
- Operating since
- 2012
- Trustpilot reviews
- 14,880 (size, not a rating)
- Google-verified advertiser
- Topstep Trader, LLC (US)
- Ads running in the US
- 2 on Facebook/Instagram · ~200 on Google
We haven’t yet confirmed the legal entity selling the challenge from Topstep’s own documents. That isn’t an accusation. It means it’s still on our list, and we won’t fill the gap from other review sites.
The advertiser name and ad counts come from Google’s Ads Transparency Center and Meta’s Ad Library, viewed from the US on Oct 1, 2026. Google verifies who pays for ads; that’s independent evidence the business is real and operating, but it isn’t the firm’s own documentation. Ad counts are approximate.
Topstep discount code for US traders
We don’t have a code for Topstep yet.
When we do, it’ll appear here only after we’ve tested it at Topstep’s own checkout. We don’t publish codes we can’t vouch for.
Before you buy
$49 is per month, plus $149 to activate
The Combine bills monthly until you pass, then the Standard path charges $149 once per funded account earned.
One platform only
Their help center: TopstepX is the only available trading platform.
Bottom line
A long-running US futures prop with clear rules. Budget for a monthly subscription until you pass, and an activation fee after, and be ready to trade on TopstepX.
