Possible issue with copy trade in TopstepX


Copy trade does not liquidate and lock follower’s account. This happened when both leader and follower accounts have their PDPT set so that the trade can comply with 50% consistency rule in Combine.

In addition, the leader account chosen was because it is furthest away from $1500. My assumption was that the follower’s account would be automatically liquidated and locked based on follower account’s PDPT. However it did not do that in my case. I had it resolved by disabling Copy Trade, liquidating and locking follower accounts manually. This solved my issue but was not what had expected.

I wonder what would happen if I had chosen a leader account that is nearest to $1500? Will TopstepX liquidate and lock leader’s account? If so, what could happen to follower account?


Looks like the execution condition and logic may not be in TopstepX. I could be wrong but it looks that way to me.
