Topstep Combine — with daily loss limit

The discounted Topstep Combine with a daily loss limit: all rules, the soft-breach behaviour, doubled funded payout caps, and the fastest legal path to passing.

Overview

Same evaluation as the standard Combine, with a daily loss limit added at checkout. Choosing it discounts your fee and currently doubles your funded payout caps. Critically, hitting the daily loss limit is a soft breach — you are flattened and locked out until the next session, but the account survives. For most traders this is the better deal: you pay less, you can withdraw more once funded, and the only cost is an enforced stop on your worst days.

The rules that decide whether you pass

Consistency rule

Your best day must be no more than 50% of the profit target — $1,500 on a 50K account. The rule is inclusive, so a day landing exactly on the cap passes.

Fastest legal pass

Two days. On a 50K account: $1,500 + $1,500. The daily loss limit does not change the fastest path — it only limits how much you can lose while getting there.

Who this account is for

A good fit if…

  • Almost everyone — the discount plus doubled payout caps make this the better economic choice
  • Traders who know they tilt and want the platform to enforce the stop
  • Anyone who wants larger withdrawals once funded

Look elsewhere if…

  • Strategies that routinely draw down hard intraday before recovering — the lockout would end those sessions early

Questions traders actually ask

Does hitting the Topstep daily loss limit fail my account?

No. It is a soft breach. You are flattened and locked out for the rest of that session, and you resume the next trading day. Only the trailing Max Loss Limit can actually end your evaluation.

Is the daily loss limit version worth taking?

For most traders, yes. It costs less than the standard Combine and currently doubles your funded payout caps. The only trade-off is that your worst sessions get cut short — which for most people is a benefit, not a cost.
