Why a dedicated Topstep tracker
Topstep is the most recognized futures prop firm on the market, but its end-of-day trailing Maximum Loss Limit confuses many traders. It moves up every time you close the day at a new balance high and never moves down, until it locks at the starting balance. Pipveu calculates this MLL exactly like the official Topstep dashboard, shows you the distance in dollars in real time and warns you when you're near the Daily Loss Limit. Sync with NinjaTrader and stop doing the math by hand.
Topstep-specific features
Automatic detection of 50K, 100K and 150K
Pipveu recognizes your account's starting size and applies the matching Profit Target ($3,000, $6,000 or $9,000) and MLL ($2,000, $3,000 or $4,500) with a fixed 1.5:1 ratio.
End-of-day trailing Maximum Loss Limit
Topstep's MLL only moves up at the close of each session and locks when it reaches the starting balance. Pipveu replicates that exact logic — not intraday — and shows the dollar and percentage buffer available.
Daily Loss Limit on Topstep's schedule
DLL of $1,000 (50K), $2,000 (100K) or $3,000 (150K) that resets at 5:00 PM CT, identical to Topstep's cycle. Visual alert when you approach the daily limit.
Combine Profit Target progress
Progress bar to the Profit Target with completion percentage and dollars remaining. If you move to Express Funded Account, tracking automatically resets with the XFA logic.
Combine, XFA and XFA Consistency in one panel
Pipveu distinguishes between Trading Combine, Express Funded Account Standard and Express Funded Account Consistency, applying the specific rules of each variant launched in February 2026.
Sync with TopstepX and NinjaTrader
Compatible with NinjaTrader sync. Automatic detection by account ID and broker prefix, no manual configuration.
Topstep and Pipveu FAQ
How does Pipveu compute Topstep's trailing MLL?
We compute the Maximum Loss Limit from the highest end-of-day balance (not intraday), exactly like Topstep. Once your balance reaches the starting figure, the MLL locks there permanently. The buffer is recalculated with every synced trade.
Does it support the Express Funded Account Consistency launched in 2026?
Yes. Pipveu distinguishes between XFA Standard and XFA Consistency and applies the specific rules of each, including the daily consistency rule tracking on total profits.
What about Topstep's activation fee?
Pipveu registers the move from Combine to Express Funded automatically when new trades appear on an XFA account. The activation fee ($149 or $0 on the No Activation Fee route) doesn't affect the balance calculation, since it's a charge external to the trading account.
Does it detect the Daily Loss Limit with CT schedule?
Yes. Topstep's DLL is computed from 5:00 PM CT the previous day to 3:10 PM CT the current day. Pipveu respects this window when grouping daily P/L and when triggering proximity alerts.
Does it work with the No Activation Fee and Standard routes?
Yes. The technical rules (Profit Target, MLL, DLL) are identical on both routes — only the monthly cost and activation fee change. Pipveu tracks both routes with the same precision.
