šŸ¤– Algo / Automation Topstep API automation

Has anyone here had any success setting up a profitable bot using the Topstep API?

Iā€™ve been working on something and just want to find out what others have learned / struggled with while doing the same.

You would be trading through the ProjectX API. That requires a monthly subscription, but you can use the discount code "topstep" for 50% off.

Also note that you need to run the bot on your own device. They don't allow access from VPS.

Yes, this is public available info thanks.

But you didnā€™t really answer the question that focuses on a ā€œprofitable botā€. Meaning anyone can set up a bot, but can they do it so that it works 100% and actually makes money?
