FOUNDER MESSAGE

Although there is no typical profile for what makes a successful trader, my path was certainly not a traditional one. Having grown up in rural Nebraska, there wasn’t much opportunity in my town outside of skilled labor, farming and meatpacking.

I always had larger aspirations. I dreamed of moving to a city where I could make something of myself, where my success or failure was dependent upon my own skill and effort. As a teenager watching the movie “Trading Places”, I knew that Chicago and trading were the opportunity for me.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a finance background or know a soul in trading, but I was determined. After saving up my hard earned money, I moved to Chicago in my early twenties to pursue my dream. By the time I was 24 years old, I had lost it all – $90,000 to be exact. I took a step back and realized I needed to safely develop my trading strategy without risking any more capital. I spent 6 months trading on a simulated account, following simple risk parameters and trading rules. Only after I proved to myself that I could consistently make money each day did I put risk back on.

I went on to routinely average 6-figure profits each year, including a best day of $33,000.*

TopstepTrader is the solution to an outdated, inefficient industry. Before TopstepTrader, your only options were to go it alone by risking thousands of dollars in a brokerage account, or spend thousands on trading education relying on theory and not experience.

Now, after you safely develop in and complete our program, like 1,000+ traders already have, you are rewarded with a fully Funded Account®.

Trade well and always trade for tomorrow,

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to buy or sell futures, options or forex. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

CFTC Rules 4.41 - Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, because the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.
