No cloud / VPS / VPN execution
Topstep (Windy chat, 2026-07-12): orders must originate from your personal device — no VPS, VPN or cloud servers. PickMyTrade is a cloud service, so the TV→PickMyTrade relay is architecturally incompatible even though copiers are allowed as a category.
source: propfirm-compliance-replies.md
Copiers allowed as a category, not by name
No approved-tool list exists; PickMyTrade is neither endorsed nor verified. Registry: automation_status='api-gray'.

All trading must originate from your personal device
Topstep Terms of Use: 'All trading activity must originate from your personal device. The use of VPS, VPNs, and remote servers is prohibited by Topstep's Terms of Use.' This kills cloud-hosted execution outright, not just one vendor.

ProjectX API: allowed on Combine + XFA, BANNED on Live Funded
Automation is 'yes, with conditions' on the Combine and the Express Funded Account; the API route is not available on a Live Funded account. A stack that depends on it does not survive the move to live.
source: propfirm_rules.py registry note (help.topstep.com transcription)
No maximum-size positions into scheduled major news
'Trading Maximum Position Size into Major News Events' is prohibited — a SIZE/INTENT rule, not a ban on trading news; Topstep does not require flattening for economic releases.
source: propfirm_rules.py registry note (help.topstep.com transcription)
Account stacking is prohibited conduct
Repeatedly hitting the Maximum Loss Limit and rotating into fresh accounts is prohibited. ⚠️ READ THE CONVEYOR PAGES AGAINST THIS: the funded batteries model a replacement account after every blow-up, which is a measurement of the rules as written, not a sanctioned operating plan.

Standing caveats4
  • Fill model is optimistic: touch fills, zero net slippage, entry-bar SL/TP not checked inside the fill minute. Simulated results are not expected live results.
  • Rolling-cohort starts overlap and share trades — pass rates and payout rates from overlapping windows are NOT independent samples; n_eff is stated wherever rates are compared.
  • Rules on this page are rendered verbatim from the registry in backtests/spec_suite/propfirm_rules.py. Registry entries flagged ⚠️ / UNVERIFIED are reproduced with their flags — an unflagged number is only as good as the registry's own sourcing.
  • MES-centric, recent-regime edge (2024+). Nothing here is a forward test and nothing here promotes a method variant (EXTENDED-TEST-SPEC §7).
