Regeln, bei denen sich die eigenen Seiten einer Firma widersprechen. Statt es zu verbergen, markieren wir es — und veröffentlichen keine Zahl bis zur Klärung. Die vorsichtigere Lesart gewinnt.
Warum es zählt: Ein Wert, bei dem sich die eigenen Seiten der Firma widersprechen, ist genau dort, wo du überrascht werden kannst. Affiliate-Seiten verbergen es. Wir nicht.
Preis · Are Legacy accounts still on sale
Was es dich kostet: Both are Apex pages. The sales page is treated as current and was re-checked 2026-07-27, but the help centre still contradicts it on the live site.
Drawdown · E8 One default max drawdown
Was es dich kostet: On a $100K One account this is $2,000 of drawdown room. Trade believing 6% when it is 4% and you breach $2,000 earlier than planned.
News-Trading · Is there a news rule at all?
Was es dich kostet: The May ToS did NOT contain the clause: the rule was added between May and July and the FAQ was never updated. Worse, the ToS says the covered events are listed here and links to a page with no list at all - no FOMC, no CPI, no NFP. You cannot know which event breaks your account.
Ziele & Mindesttage · Diamond Hands minimum trading days
Was es dich kostet: Request a payout on day 6 believing it is 5, get refused, and capital stays locked another week. Both pages captured the same day.
Tagesverlust · What the daily limit is calculated on
Was es dich kostet: Decides whether a floating loss counts. Under closed-balance you can sit down unclosed and think it does not count; under balance-or-equity you already broke the rule without seeing it.
Payouts · Profit-split ceiling
Was es dich kostet: You buy on the 100% headline and the only documented path stops at 90%.
Payouts · Does the 95% reward tier exist
Was es dich kostet: Secondary sources tie the 95% to a paid Lifetime 95% Reward add-on. Buying on the 95% headline means paying for something the help centre says the plan does not include.
Ziele & Mindesttage · Stellar Lite minimum trading days
Was es dich kostet: Hit target on day 3 believing it is 2 and the payout does not come. Both fetched the same day.
Tagesverlust · Instant account daily drawdown
Was es dich kostet: The difference between having a daily limit and not having one. Believing None and trading without a brake kills the account in one session.
Drawdown · 1-Phase max drawdown
Was es dich kostet: Four percentage points of room across the whole account. The same disagreement repeats on size ranges.
Ziele & Mindesttage · Lightning plan window
Was es dich kostet: Two days of runway on a timed target. Plan for 7 when it is 5 and you fail on the calendar, not on trading.
Payouts · Payout processing time
Was es dich kostet: 24 hours and 48 business hours are not the same thing: requested on a Friday, the second version can mean the following Wednesday.
News-Trading · Are Instant accounts exempt from the news rule?
Was es dich kostet: The FAQ is more specific, but the T&C is the document that governs a dispute. Trading the news on an instant account trusting the FAQ leaves you with no argument when they answer with the contract.
Konsistenz · Which evaluations the consistency rule covers
Was es dich kostet: Decides whether on a Builder you can make all your profit in one day, or whether that blocks the payout.
Konsistenz · How the consistency target is computed
Was es dich kostet: $2,200 of difference in how much must be made before withdrawing. The firm does not say which one its dashboard enforces.
Ziele & Mindesttage · Fast Pass minimum days
Was es dich kostet: It is precisely what a Fast Pass is bought for: with a 3-day minimum the product does not do what its name says.
News-Trading · Are there news rules?
Was es dich kostet: The overview points to the full news trading policy - which is the very article saying there is no policy. A trader reading the overview waits for rules that do not exist, or the reverse.
Preis · Is there an activation fee on passing
Was es dich kostet: Probably a stale FAQ after the 2026-05 relaunch, but it is still published and still a TradeDay page. $139 per evaluation passed if that is the one that governs.
Tagesverlust · 150K daily loss limit
Was es dich kostet: $750 of daily room. Purchases before 2026-03-31 keep $3,750, so both figures can be true at once for different accounts. The Growth article does not say so.
Preis · Evaluation pricing
Was es dich kostet: Recorded as VERIFIED-SECONDARY because the reviews disagree with each other. Until captured from the firm own evaluations page, no figure is published as verified.
Preis · 200K account price
Was es dich kostet: Affects the 200K size only; the rest of the table is verified against the app itself. Flagged, not resolved.
Vertrauenssignale · Review score and volume
Was es dich kostet: Direct Trustpilot is live but blocks automated reads. Aggregator vs aggregator, not the firm against itself.
Vertrauenssignale · Review count
Was es dich kostet: The 4.9 is secondary: direct reads are blocked. Without a manual capture the figure is not published as verified.
Preis · High Stakes pricing structure
Was es dich kostet: An X announcement is not product documentation. Recorded as secondary with the structure in conflict, pending a capture of the firm own pricing page.
Payouts · First $10,000 at 100%
Was es dich kostet: Not Topstep against itself: a third party asserting a change the firm site does not reflect. Shown unresolved and excluded from the self-contradiction count.
