Topstep trading journal

What TakeJournal checks on your Topstep account

Choose the product when you add the account; the rules come with it, and the account page shows where you stand against each one, from your own trades.

Drawdown

The liquidation level, trailing or static as the firm sets it, and how far the account is from it.

Profit target

The profit since the start against the target, raised where the consistency rule says so.

Consistency rule

The best day's share of the profit, and the profit that still brings it under the limit.

Minimum trading days

The days that count, and how many are still missing.

Payout rules

Winning days, the payout period, the minimum and maximum and the buffer: when the next payout is possible.

Contract limit

The most contracts the product allows, the tiers that raise them and the daily loss with the profit, and how a micro counts.

Profit split

Your share of a payout, counted in the account's costs and payouts.
