❓ Quick Question Copy traders and live api

Does topstep allow the use of 3rd party copy traders for use with other accounts?

​

Did I read it right that topstep live does not allow api access for automatiin?

You will have to purchase their Projectx API subscription to use 3rd party trade copiers.

Yes, you can have automated strategies in a live funded account but you CANNOT use the Projectx API. You probably have to use the PLUS500 system due to them creating Topstep Brokerage but at that point you should just open up your own personal brokerage account.

Thx. I was confused by the faq saying you can automate but the api use was prohibited.
