Topstep $25K Account Risk Plan: $500 Daily Limit & Exact MT5 Lot Sizes

Direct Technical Answer

Topstep $25K account risk plan caps the largest winning day at 50% of the $1,500 Phase 1 target, so one day above $750 extends the path. Daily loss is $500 (2%). Maximum drawdown is $750 (3%). A 0.50% trade risks $125. Minimum trading days are two, and the book is flat before 3:10 PM CT.

Half of the $1,500 Topstep Phase 1 target is $750, and that is also the 3% maximum drawdown on $25,000. Topstep $25K account risk plan sets the day at $500 and the trade at $125. A day above $750 rewrites the path the same way a $3,000 day does on a $100,000 Combine.

The day that is too large is also the floor

$750 is half of the $1,500 target, so it is the 50% consistency ceiling on this account. $750 is also the 3% maximum drawdown. One number, two directions. A winner above $750 extends the target. A loser of $750 ends the account. Equity Guard watches the $500 daily loss, which is 2%, so you meet the day before you meet the $750 floor.

Phase 2 is 0%. There is no second profit target after $1,500. Minimum trading days are two. A 0.50% trade is $125. The lot is the volume that loses $125 at the stop. Create a Venasri account and cap the session well before $750 of profit if you want the original target to stay $1,500.

The $500 day and the flatten

Four losses at $125 reach $500. The book is still flat before 3:10 PM CT, and the new session is 5:00 PM CT. Weekend holding is prohibited. The bot flattens even when the day is green and under $750. The end-of-day trail on the published $50,000, $100,000, and $150,000 sizes is not a number you paste onto $25,000. This plan's maximum is $750.

The $100,000 example of a $3,000 maximum day against a $6,000 target is the same 50% rule at another size. On $25,000 the arithmetic is $750 against $1,500. A $3,800 example from the $100,000 Combine is not this account's dollar breach.

Five days of $200 beside a $500 loss line

Payouts need five winning days of at least $200, then up to 50% of balance. The first $10,000 withdrawn is paid at 100%, then 90%. A $200 day is under the $750 consistency ceiling and under the $500 loss line in the other direction. It is a fit for this balance in a way a single $1,500 day is not.

The $99 monthly fee is the published $100,000 subscription, not a $25,000 invoice printed here. News is permitted in the evaluation. Live funded accounts add Tier-1 flatten windows. CME order-to-fill limits apply if the $125 stop is being edited all afternoon.

The $125 stop has a home

TopstepX, NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, and Quantower can hold the order. The stop that risks $125 has to be on that platform before 3:10 PM CT. There is no 200-trade CFD cap. There is a flatten, a $500 day, and a $750 floor.

Gold lots of 0.80 to 1.45 are the $100,000 plan with a 50 to 70 pip stop. On $25,000 the risk unit is $125. Derive the lot from that dollar. The larger gold cap does not belong on a $25,000 day of $500.
