It is powered by ProjectX. Coding in Python, Java, .NET or JavaScript against REST and WebSocket APIs is the intended use, though if you use a third-party tool built by someone else no coding is required, you simply plug in your credentials.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#ffffff;font-family:Poppins,Arial,sans-serif;margin:24px 0 6px;\">What it costs<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgba(226,232,240,0.9);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.85;margin:0 0 14px;\">API Access is $29 per month, discounted 50% to $14.50 per month for Topstep traders using code topstep, with no end date on the discount. Billing is separate from the Topstep subscription and appears as Sim2Funded Solutions on a bank statement.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#ffffff;font-family:Poppins,Arial,sans-serif;margin:24px 0 6px;\">The hard limits<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgba(226,232,240,0.9);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.85;margin:0 0 14px;\">All trading activity must originate from your personal device. VPS, VPNs and remote servers are prohibited under Topstep&#8217;s Terms of Use, and running automation on a VPS can lead to account suspension or removal. Topstep also bans using software, AI, ultra-high speed systems or mass data entry that manipulates, abuses or gains an unfair advantage, and specifically prohibits running scalping algorithms designed to exploit unrealistic simulator fills, making hundreds of rapid trades to exploit queue position, or using tight brackets and auto-breakeven to profit from favourable SIM fills.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#ffffff;font-family:Poppins,Arial,sans-serif;margin:24px 0 6px;\">Who carries the risk<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgba(226,232,240,0.9);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.85;margin:0 0 14px;\">Orders executed through the API are final, with no review, adjustment or reversal. Topstep is not responsible for the performance of any tool, algo or system built on API Access, and provides no technical support for coding, implementation or troubleshooting. Support routes to the ProjectX developer docs, the Topstep Discord api-trading channel, or ProjectX directly.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#ffffff;font-family:Poppins,Arial,sans-serif;margin:32px 0 12px;\">Final Comments<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgba(226,232,240,0.9);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.85;margin:0 0 14px;\">Automation rules are one of the fastest moving parts of any prop firm rulebook, and they are also one of the most expensive to get wrong.
