No, Topstep currently does not allow bots or algorithmic trading on its platform.
Topstep's current policy dictates that automated trading systems and bots are not supported. This means that traders participating in their programs are expected to engage in manual trading.
For traders, this policy emphasizes the development of discretionary trading skills. Instead of relying on automated programs to execute trades, individuals must make their own real-time decisions based on market analysis and personal judgment. This approach ensures that traders demonstrate genuine understanding and proficiency in navigating the markets through their own actions, rather than through pre-programmed algorithms. Therefore, any automated systems for trade entry, exit, or position management are not permitted.
