Topstep, a Chicago-based trader education and fintech enterprise, today announced the next milestone of its mission to deliver the Ultimate Trading Experience – the launch of its affiliate, Topstep Brokerage, an Introducing Broker and the newest offering from Topstep.
Topstep Brokerage is the first introducing broker to let traders directly transfer earnings from Topstep’s other offerings into a personal brokerage account while trading on TopstepX. Traders now have a direct path from prop success to independent trading – a market first for the industry. Traditional funding methods are also offered, giving clients flexibility in how they build capital and fund their brokerage accounts.
“For more than 16 years, it’s been our vision to create a better path for aspiring traders to learn, earn, and find greater success in the markets, whether trading our money or their own,” said Michael Patak, Topstep Brokerage Chief Executive Officer. “Launching Topstep Brokerage is the next step in our commitment to deliver The Ultimate Trading Experience, a path that I wish I had when I first started trading almost 30 years ago.”
Topstep Brokerage was designed to make personal futures trading more accessible to clients and, together with its exclusive offering of the TopstepX platform, reflects how independent traders operate: straightforward costs, clear rules, and risk management tools that support informed decision-making. It emphasizes education, measurable goals, and responsible risk awareness – principles that have guided the broader Topstep enterprise since day one.
The waitlist is now open, with plans for Topstep Brokerage to go live later this year. Topstep Brokerage partnered with Plus500 to leverage their technology, risk management solutions, and FCM clearing to offer its clients.
