Running multiple Topstep Trading Combines and funded accounts? MimikTrader copies every trade from your leader account to all followers in real-time. Built-in risk management matches Topstep's trailing drawdown, daily loss limits, and position size rules — protecting your accounts better than manual monitoring ever could.
Topstep enforces risk rules on their end — but by then, the violation has already happened and your account may be closed. MimikTrader monitors your risk in real-time and flattens positions before the threshold is breached, giving you a protective buffer.
Topstep rule: Topstep enforces a maximum daily loss depending on your account size (e.g., $1,000 on a $50K account, $2,000 on a $100K, $3,000 on a $150K).
MimikTrader: Set MimikTrader's daily loss limit to match — or slightly below — Topstep's threshold. When your P&L approaches the limit, MimikTrader flattens all positions and locks the account for the rest of the session.
Topstep rule: Topstep uses a trailing drawdown that moves up with your equity high-water mark but never moves down. Once your account balance drops below this level, you fail.
MimikTrader: MimikTrader's trailing drawdown feature tracks the same high-water mark on every price tick. Set it to match Topstep's trailing threshold and the system will auto-flatten before the breach — protecting your account from a violation during fast market moves.
Topstep rule: Topstep limits the number of contracts you can hold simultaneously (e.g., 2 on a $50K, 5 on a $100K, 15 on a $150K account).
MimikTrader: Configure MimikTrader's max contract limit per follower account to match Topstep's published limits. The copier will reject any order that would exceed the position cap, even if the leader is trading larger size.
Topstep rule: Topstep's Express Funded accounts have profit targets to meet before graduating to full funded status.
MimikTrader: While MimikTrader's profit target feature is designed to lock accounts at a gain threshold, you can use it to set goals that align with your Express Funded targets — ensuring you stop trading once the objective is met.

Topstep accounts that route through Tradovate connect via the standard Tradovate OAuth flow. Sign up for MimikTrader, click Connect Account, and log in with your Topstep/Tradovate credentials. MimikTrader will discover all accounts — Trading Combines, Express Funded accounts, and funded accounts — automatically.
Yes. Your Trading Combine accounts connect through Tradovate the same way funded accounts do. You can use a Combine account as a leader or follower. Many traders use one Trading Combine as their leader and copy trades to additional Combines and funded accounts simultaneously.
MimikTrader's trailing drawdown feature tracks your real-time equity high-water mark on every price tick. You can configure the trailing drawdown threshold to match Topstep's rules for each account. When equity approaches the threshold, MimikTrader will auto-flatten and lock the account to prevent a rule violation — something Topstep's own platform does not warn you about in advance.
Yes. Set each account's daily loss limit in MimikTrader to match Topstep's published threshold. MimikTrader monitors your P&L in real-time and flattens all positions if the daily loss limit is approached. This provides an additional safety layer that works faster than checking the Topstep dashboard manually.
MimikTrader's max contract limit setting lets you cap the number of open contracts per account. Set this to match Topstep's published position limits for your account size — for example, 5 contracts on a $150K Trading Combine. The copier will reject any trade that would exceed this limit on a follower account.
Absolutely. Set one Topstep account as your leader, then add as many Topstep accounts as you need as followers. Each follower gets its own risk settings and lot multiplier, so you can copy 2 lots to a $150K account and 1 lot to a $50K account from the same leader trade.
MimikTrader copies trades whenever your leader account receives a fill. Topstep's trading hours are set by the CME market hours for each contract. MimikTrader does not impose its own time restrictions — it operates whenever the market is open and your leader is active.
If a follower account hits a risk limit you have configured in MimikTrader (daily loss, trailing drawdown, max contracts), MimikTrader immediately flattens that account's positions and locks it. The other accounts in the copy group continue operating normally — one account breach does not shut down the others.
Rithmic support is coming soon. Currently, MimikTrader supports Topstep accounts that route through Tradovate. If you have TopstepX accounts on Rithmic, you can sign up to be notified when Rithmic integration launches. In the meantime, Tradovate-routed Topstep accounts are fully supported.
Yes. MimikTrader offers a 7-day free trial with full access to all features. Connect your Topstep accounts, set up risk rules, and test the entire copying workflow before committing to a paid plan.
Topstep's copy trading policies may vary by account type and change over time. MimikTrader copies trades between your own accounts only — never between different traders. Always check Topstep's current rules and terms of service to confirm trade copier usage is permitted on your specific account type before using any third-party tool.
