Topstep Profit Target, by Account Size
Rules verified 2026-07-13 · official source
Topstep's evaluation target is $3,000 on the 50K Trading Combine (scaling with size). Hitting the number isn't passing — drawdown, minimum days and consistency still gate the pass.
The target is the easy half
Most failed evaluations don't die short of the target — they die AFTER touching it, giving profit back into the drawdown line while finishing the remaining requirements. Treat the target as the midpoint, not the finish line.
Once you're near it, the play is defense: smaller size, wider spacing, and knowing your exact distance to the trailing end-of-day (moves only when a day closes at a new high) line.
| Plan | Trading Combine |
|---|---|
| 50K Trading Combine | $3,000 |
| 100K Trading Combine | $6,000 |
| 150K Trading Combine | $9,000 |
How traders actually breach it
The classic post-target failure: doubling size to finish fast, then donating the cushion back. The target doesn't bank until every other rule clears.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "you're $220 from the line" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.

FAQ
What is the Topstep profit target?
It scales with account size — e.g. $3,000 on the 50K Trading Combine. See the table for every size.
If I hit the Topstep target, have I passed?
Only if everything else clears too: the drawdown line was never touched, you've logged the minimum trading days, and your best day is under the consistency cap.
