Topstep: history of the values we have read

We publish 5 value series read on Topstep's official pages, across 3 account plans, from 15 January 2025 to 11 April 2026. Every point quotes the sentence it comes from and links to the page as it stood on that date.

Read on 11 April 2026

What our reading covers

Our reading of Topstep's pages starts in December 2020 and covers 68 months of the 70 it spans.

A month we did not read is not proof that nothing happened. That is our own gap, not a finding about the firm.

Value by value

One series per rule and account plan. One row is one reading: its date, the figure we read, and the firm's own sentence it comes from.

How these values are read

We read the official pages at regular intervals, reduce them to their visible text, then read every sentence that carries both a rule word and a number. A figure is kept only if the sentence says which account plan it applies to: a value we cannot tie to an account size stays off this page. Consecutive readings carrying the same value are folded into a single row, with the first and the last date. Nothing is typed in by hand and nothing is reworded.
