Top One Futures

8.4/ 10RATING

Top One Futures is a US-based futures proprietary trading firm established in April 2025. The firm offers 1-Step and Instant programs through several account models, including Elite Access, Elite Daily, Ignite, and Instant Sim Funded. Its strengths include a streamlined 1-Step evaluation structure, multiple futures-platform options, 90% profit sharing across the supplied programs, flexible payout structures, and unrestricted news trading on evaluations and selected funded programs. The main considerations are the firm's relatively short operating history and strict rules around minimum trade duration, hedging, automated trading, copy trading, account rolling, news trading on certain funded accounts, and overnight holding.

Overnight trading is not allowed; all positions must be closed by approximately 4:10 PM EST each trading day, and open positions after the cutoff may be forcibly liquidated and can result in penalties
Trades must remain open for more than 10 seconds; closing at exactly 10.00 seconds is a violation, while 10.01 seconds or later is acceptable, and repeated violations can lead to profit removal or further action
Sim Funded traders must place at least one trade every 14 calendar days
Only the registered account owner may trade the account; friends, family members, or third parties may not access or trade it
Hedging between accounts is prohibited, including offsetting positions across Top One Futures accounts or other prop firms and brokers
Repeatedly purchasing and rapidly breaching multiple accounts, batch-style account purchasing to sacrifice accounts while attempting to pass others, and deliberately breaching accounts to exploit simulated funding are all prohibited
Automated trading systems, bots, scripts, and EAs are strictly prohibited; all trading must be performed manually or semi-manually
Copy trading, coordinated trading with relatives, friends, groups, signal providers, Telegram groups, or Discord channels, and third-party signal-based trading are all prohibited
Requesting a payout locks the maximum drawdown at the starting balance plus $100
News trading is allowed without restrictions on Instant Sim Funded, Ignite, and all evaluation accounts; Elite Access and Elite Daily funded accounts restrict trading during the 2 minutes before and after high-impact news

Trust & Safety

Top One Futures was established in April 2025, making it a relatively new participant in the futures proprietary trading industry. The firm provides established futures-platform access through TradingView, Tradovate, and NinjaTrader, together with defined funding programs, payout policies, and detailed trading restrictions. Its structured rule framework and multiple funding options are positive indicators, but its relatively short operating history means there is less long-term evidence available than for older proprietary trading firms.

Legal entity: Top One Futures, LLC (USA)
Regulated: No

Top One Futures operates as a proprietary trading program rather than a conventional regulated investment account. No specific regulatory license information was stated in the source material.

Buy Now

Top One Futures is potentially attractive for futures traders seeking 1-Step or Instant funding and a 90% profit split, but traders should carefully review the specific Elite Access, Elite Daily, Ignite, or Instant Sim Funded rules before purchasing because trade-duration, news, payout, consistency, and account-management requirements differ between programs.

Trading carries risk. Evaluation programs like this one involve simulated accounts and non-refundable fees; review the firm’s current terms directly before purchasing. This page is informational and not financial advice.
