TradingSuite Pro is the unified platform for traders who run both Topstep and Tradovate accounts. Copy trades between platforms, monitor P&L from one dashboard, and enforce risk rules independently across every account.
Start Free TrialThe modern futures prop trading landscape is more nuanced than a simple choice between one platform or another. Experienced traders often run both Topstep and Tradovate simultaneously — and for good reason. Each platform serves a distinct purpose in a well-structured trading operation.
Tradovate is the platform of choice for personal trading accounts. Its subscription-based, commission-free model makes it highly cost-efficient for active traders, and its clean API allows for automation and data access that older platforms cannot match. Tradovate is where many traders develop and refine their strategies before scaling them.
Topstep is the vehicle for scaling those strategies to larger capital without personal financial risk. Topstep's funded account programs (account sizes and terms are subject to change; visit Topstep's website for current offerings) let profitable traders trade significant size with real profit splits — without risking their own capital beyond the evaluation fee. Once you pass the Combine evaluation, you trade on Topstep's funded account infrastructure, which runs on Tradovate.
The natural workflow for many systematic traders becomes:
At this point, a unified platform that connects both environments becomes not just convenient but operationally necessary. TradingSuite Pro was built precisely for this use case.
The most immediate benefit of TradingSuite Pro for traders running both platforms is the unified dashboard. Instead of switching between separate Tradovate windows and Topstep account portals — each with its own login, its own display, and its own delayed data — everything lives in one place.
See your total realized and unrealized P&L across all Tradovate and Topstep accounts simultaneously. No more mental math adding up numbers from different screens.
All open positions across all accounts displayed in real time with live pricing, unrealized P&L, and margin usage — updated continuously via WebSocket.
Each account's risk gauge shows how close it is to its daily loss limit or drawdown threshold. Critical information when managing multiple funded accounts during fast markets.
See which automation rules are active across which accounts, which have been triggered by risk events, and the status of all trade copier connections.
For traders managing 5–10 accounts across both platforms, this consolidated view is transformative. The cognitive load of tracking multiple independent account states is reduced to a single glance at one screen.
TradingSuite Pro's trade copier enables bidirectional trade replication between Topstep and Tradovate accounts. The most common use case is copying from a personal Tradovate master account to one or more Topstep funded accounts — but the reverse direction is equally supported.
How the cross-platform copier works:
This last point is critical. Many traders who use simpler copier solutions discover that their Topstep accounts get blown during a bad trading day because the copier faithfully replicates every trade — including the ones that breach the funded account's risk limits. TradingSuite's risk-aware copier prevents this by design.
Running accounts on two platforms means managing two sets of risk rules. Topstep has its funded account rules — daily loss limits, trailing drawdown, contract size caps. Your personal Tradovate account has your own rules — whatever you have decided your risk parameters should be. TradingSuite Pro manages all of this from a single risk configuration interface.

This is one of the most common questions from traders new to the prop firm space — and the honest answer is that for serious traders, it is not an either/or choice. But understanding the differences helps clarify how to structure your trading operation.
The optimal approach for most serious traders: use your personal Tradovate account to develop, refine, and validate your strategies with real money but manageable size. When a strategy demonstrates consistent profitability, enter the Topstep Combine to access funded capital — and use TradingSuite Pro to run both simultaneously from one platform, with the trade copier keeping them synchronized.
This structure gives you strategy development velocity (Tradovate's flexibility), capital access at scale (Topstep's funded accounts), and operational clarity (TradingSuite's unified dashboard and risk management) all working together.
Yes. TradingSuite Pro is designed specifically for traders who use both platforms. You can connect all your Topstep-funded accounts and personal Tradovate accounts to one dashboard, manage risk independently for each, copy trades between them, and view unified P&L analytics — all from a single interface.
In TradingSuite Pro, you set up a trade copier rule that designates a Tradovate account as the master (source) and your Topstep account as the slave (destination). When the master account enters a trade, TradingSuite replicates it on the Topstep account in real time. You can configure sizing ratios and risk filters that apply specifically to the Topstep destination account.
Yes. TradingSuite Pro's unified dashboard aggregates real-time P&L from all connected accounts — whether they are Topstep funded accounts or personal Tradovate accounts. You see individual account P&L and a consolidated total, updated continuously via live WebSocket data feeds from both platforms.
Both Topstep and Tradovate use the Tradovate API infrastructure, which TradingSuite Pro integrates with natively. The connection process is identical — you authorize TradingSuite via OAuth for each account. The main difference is that Topstep accounts have their own risk rules (daily loss limits, trailing drawdown) which TradingSuite monitors and enforces specifically for those accounts.
