Topstep copy trading: TopstepX and Copilink fit
TopstepX has its own copier for Trading Combine and Express Funded accounts. Live Funded accounts cannot use that copier, and TopstepX runs on ProjectX rather than a Copilink Standalone Tradovate or Rithmic route.

Use the stage-specific rule
Live is different
A follower setup that works in Trading Combine or Express Funded does not carry into a Live Funded account.
Copilink route
Copilink Standalone connects to Tradovate and Rithmic, not the ProjectX route used by TopstepX.
Follower fills can differ
Topstep notes follower execution timing and price can vary from the leader.
Connection status
TopstepX uses ProjectX.
Copilink Standalone does not connect to ProjectX. Topstep's native copier has separate stage-specific rules.
Scope: TopstepX copier and platform route; the account payout program is not compared here. Firm terms and purchased account agreements govern.
