Frequently asked questions

What is Topstep's consistency target?

According to Topstep's help page read on 2026-09-25, the best day must stay at or below 55 % of the profit target; otherwise the target rises. The calculator checks it on daily closes when a path reaches the target and shows it as within the best-day rule.

Does the calculator simulate Topstep's daily loss limit?

No. According to the Topstep page read on 2026-09-25, that limit is optional in the Trading Combine, and the calculator does not simulate it.

Why is the calculator optimistic with Topstep?

According to the Topstep page read on 2026-09-25, the maximum loss is monitored in real time, and one figure per daily close cannot see what happens within the day. The calculator also uses your trades' average loss, with no tails or costs.

What it computes and assumes

Each synthetic day has your trades per day; across them, the share that wins your average win is your win rate and the rest lose your average loss. With decimals, some days have one more trade than others so the average is yours.
The report's simulator resamples those days and checks every daily close: first the daily limit, then the total one and last the target with the minimum days. Every day with trades counts as a trading day, even when it nets zero.
Every win and loss has the average size: no tails, slippage, costs or intraday floating loss. Real losses vary, so with a real history the limits are usually hit more often.
Trades are independent: no streaks longer than chance.
The rules are those each firm posted on the date shown; they may have changed.
We keep your figures in no database or file; since they travel in the link, the server's access log may hold the address requested. It is a calculation with declared figures, not an audit or a forecast.

With your real history

With your real history, the simulator uses your actual days, the floating loss at each daily close and the costs: upload your file. The report resamples your own days with the firm's rules, compares the published firms and tries the sizes.
