S.W.E.E.P Trading Bot — Fully Automated Trading for TopstepX

How it works

From download to armed
in four steps.

01

Install & activate

Run the installer on your Windows PC (everything it needs is included) and enter your license key once.

02

Connect TopstepX

Sign in with your TopstepX username and API key, then pick your account and futures contract.

03

Choose your rules

Select a playbook in Strategy studio and set your dollar risk: per trade, per day, stop and target.

04

Review & arm

Check the readiness list, confirm the exact sizing and brackets, and arm the bot. From then on it trades by itself.

100% automated

It trades for you.
Start to finish.

Once it's armed you don't click a thing. S.W.E.E.P watches the market, takes the trade, protects it and closes it on its own, inside the limits you set. No chart-watching and no coding.

Finds

It finds the setup

Checks every new candle against your playbook and only acts when a setup clears your rules. Otherwise it waits.

Places

It places the order

Sizes the trade to your dollar risk and sends it with the stop and target attached, held at the broker.

Manages

It manages the trade

Moves the stop to breakeven, can take half off at 1R with 2+ contracts, and trails the stop as the trade works.

Closes

It closes the trade

Exits at the target, stop or trail, whichever comes first, then saves it to your trade journal with a chart snapshot.

Your partPick a playbook→Set your risk in dollars→Arm itYou stay in control: pause, close or flatten any time.

Strategy studio

One bot.
Every setup you trade.

The pre-market sweep is the flagship, but it's one of 20 built-in templates, including Scalp mode and VWAP pullback. Each playbook is a fixed set of rules you can read in full. Nothing is hidden and nothing is left to guesswork.

EntryStopTarget

Illustrative example with default $50 / $100 brackets. Not a real trade.

Pattern library

15 chart patterns, detected by rule.

Detection is deterministic and runs on candles from the TopstepX API. When your selected pattern forms, S.W.E.E.P draws it on the chart and waits for the trigger.

Scalp mode

Eight setups.
Only the best one.

Scalp mode reads 1-minute candles with the 5-minute trend, scores eight setups on every candle and takes only the best one that clears your minimum score. Longs and shorts. If nothing is good enough, it waits.

Order flow checkReads the live tape. Buyers or sellers have to back the move, or the score drops.
Knows the kind of dayTells a trend day from a range day. It won't fade a strong trend, and it stops chasing breakouts in a range.
Sits out big newsSteps aside around high-impact U.S. news like CPI, jobs reports and FOMC, then picks back up on its own.
Adaptive stopsStops widen and tighten with volatility, so a quiet morning and a wild open aren't treated the same. Works on NQ, MNQ, ES and MES.
Limit entries, if you want themEnter on a small pullback instead of at market. The order cancels itself if price runs away.
Watches a second marketFollow NQ and ES (or the micros) together and take whichever has the better setup.

Combine Mode

Built around the
Combine rules.

Turn on Combine Mode for a Topstep Trading Combine and S.W.E.E.P plans each day around the account's rules: a daily goal, a daily max loss, the trailing drawdown and the consistency rule.

Plan

Pick your size and pace

Choose a $50K, $100K or $150K Combine and a Fast, Balanced or Steady pace. S.W.E.E.P works out the daily goal and the daily max loss for you.

Risk per trade picker
Daily max loss picker
Never more than two full losses a day

Protect

Knows when to stop

Done for the day when the daily goal or daily max loss is hit. Watches the trailing max loss from your balance and stops new trades before it gets too close.

Daily goal and daily max loss
Trailing drawdown distance
Stops once the target is reached

Consistency

Keeps your best day in check

Tracks your best day against your total profit and adjusts the daily goal, so one big day doesn't break the consistency rule.

Keep Topstep's own limits on too

Combine Mode is a planning guardrail, not a promise that you'll pass. Topstep's rules can change, so always check them on your account.

Plain-language builder

Describe it.
Read the rules. Save it.

Type your setup the way you'd say it. The builder turns it into an exact playbook and shows every rule it will execute. If you ask for something it can't do, it tells you instead of guessing. Try it:

Describe your setup

A fixed-template interpreter, not an AI code generator. Only the rules shown are included, and saving a playbook never arms it. Times and dollar risk are set separately with explicit controls.

Risk controls

Set it in dollars.
It does the math.

You choose the stop and target for the whole position in dollars. S.W.E.E.P reads the contract's tick value from the API, picks the largest size that fits your budget, and shows you the exact brackets before you arm.

Daily loss limitOnce hit, new entries stop for the day. Profits never raise your daily budget.
Automatic position sizingContract count is capped by your max, your per-trade risk and what's left of today's budget.
Slippage & fee reservesEstimated risk includes a cushion per contract, so the math isn't best-case.
Max trades, cooldown & spread filterLimit trades per day, wait between entries, and skip wide or stale quotes.

Execution safeguards

Built to stop
before it guesses.

If anything is uncertain (a dropped connection, an unconfirmed order, a missing stop), S.W.E.E.P holds, locks or protects. It won't push through.

A bracket on every entry, then verified

Every order goes in with its stop and target through TopstepX Auto OCO. After the fill, the bot checks that the protective stop exists. If it doesn't, it requests a close and locks.

Durable order ledger

Every order is recorded before it's sent. The same order can't go twice, and nothing is retried automatically.

Uncertain means locked

If a result can't be confirmed, execution locks until the API shows a flat account and you review it.

Recovery hold

Brief API or dashboard drops pause new entries. Trading resumes only when fresh data and every check pass again.

No catch-up entries

Only fresh signals seen after arming count. A missed move is never chased or replayed.

Strict entry limits

Max trades per day and a cooldown between entries. Classic playbooks take one attempt per side per day.

Flatten in one click

Cancel every working order and close every position on the account, including manual trades.

Armed and executing

You review the account, contract, size and brackets, then arm. The bot trades your playbook inside the entry window.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

You don't need to code, build indicators or watch charts. You pick a built-in playbook, set your risk in dollars and arm it, and S.W.E.E.P handles every trade from there: finding it, placing it, managing it and closing it. You should still understand that futures trading is risky, know your Topstep account rules and only risk money you can afford to lose.

No. The installer includes everything S.W.E.E.P needs. You just need a Windows PC, your TopstepX account with API access and your license key. Updates install from inside the app.

No. The New York sweep is the flagship strategy, but S.W.E.E.P is a full trading bot for TopstepX. It also includes Scalp mode, VWAP pullbacks, 3-bar reversals, FVG midpoint retests and 15 chart patterns, and you can save your own playbooks with your own times, candle interval and direction.

It connects through the TopstepX API, which is available for Trading Combine and Express Funded accounts. Topstep currently excludes Live Funded accounts from API trading. You'll need API access enabled on your TopstepX account.

Futures on your TopstepX account, such as NQ, MNQ, ES and MES. Pick the contract and sizing adapts automatically to its tick value. Scalp mode can also watch a second market at the same time and take whichever has the better setup. It trades both longs and shorts.

Yes. S.W.E.E.P runs on your own Windows PC, because Topstep doesn't allow order flow from VPS or remote servers. In an unattended session you can close the dashboard, but keep Windows awake and the app running.

Yes. Manual mode pauses the bot and gives you Buy and Sell Market tickets. Each ticket uses your saved dollar stop and target, and the same daily limits apply. You can also close a position or flatten the whole account at any time.

After purchase you get a license key by email. Enter it once in the app to activate your copy. Each license works on one computer. If the license server is briefly unreachable, a grace period of up to 7 days keeps you running. Safety controls like pause, close and flatten always stay available.

With Combine Mode on, S.W.E.E.P tracks the trailing max loss from your account balance and stops new trades before it gets too close, along with a daily max loss and the consistency rule. Without it, S.W.E.E.P enforces your own daily loss limit and per-trade risk. Either way, keep Topstep's account-level limits in place as well.

Scalp mode steps aside around high-impact U.S. news (like CPI, jobs reports and FOMC) using a live economic calendar, then picks back up on its own. You can change how many minutes before and after it waits, or turn it off.

Yes. Join the S.W.E.E.P Discord to ask questions, get setup help and see how other traders run their playbooks. Customers can verify their license there for the customer role.

No. No strategy wins every trade, and slippage, gaps and connectivity can exceed any estimate. S.W.E.E.P is built to follow your rules with discipline and to protect your account from mistakes. It doesn't promise results.
