TopstepX through Quantower
The platform list is TopstepX, NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, and Quantower. A stop that lives only in one desktop does not cover a fill on another. Manual Trade Guard attaches the stop, breakeven, and TP1 through TP4 when the order fills. The flatten at 3:10 PM CT is not optional on any of them.
Automated tools are allowed if order changes stay inside CME Globex order-to-fill limits. There is no published 200-trade or 2,000-modification number to copy from a CFD firm. A quiet partial schedule fits. A tick trail may not. Create a Venasri account and name the platform on the connection so the flatten hits the right login.
The stop is in front of a 2% day
Daily loss is 2%, $2,000 on $100,000. The pass plan sets Equity Guard at 1.25%. The ticket stop and the account guard are different tools. TP1 through TP4 can bank a winner and still leave other contracts open into the trail, which is $3,000 on $100,000 and locks at the initial balance.
Phase 2 target is 0%. You are not building partials toward a second profit hurdle. You are building them inside a 6% Phase 1 target of $6,000, across a minimum of two trading days, and you are flat at 3:10 PM CT.
Evaluation permission versus live flatten windows
News is permitted during the evaluation. Live funded accounts enforce Tier-1 economic release flattening windows. The same connection should load the live window when the account is promoted. The 3:10 PM CT flat remains on both stages. The 5:00 PM CT session is not a hold.
The $100,000 fee is $99 a month. Payouts are 100% of the first $10,000, then 90%, after five winning days of at least $200, up to 50% of balance. A missing stop that spends the 2% day ends that path before the five days exist.
Partials can still build a day that is too large
Taking TP1 through TP4 on a runner can produce a day above $3,000 on a $6,000 target. That breaks the 50% consistency rule and rewrites the goal. The guard on losses does not cap the winning day. You still have to notice when the session is already half the target.
Weekend holding is prohibited. A partial plan that expects to hold a runner into Monday is the wrong plan. Flatten the remainder at 3:10 PM CT even if TP4 has not printed.
