As someone who has personally explored Topstep and its account offerings, I can confirm that Topstep's trading structure differs significantly from standard forex brokers and does not specifically address swap-free or Islamic accounts. The firm operates by providing futures traders with simulated evaluation accounts (the Trading Combine) before potential access to company-funded trading, rather than directly offering live, margin-based retail accounts where traditional swap or interest-based costs would typically apply. One notable point from my experience is that Topstep requires all positions to be closed by the end of regular trading hours. Swing trading and holding positions overnight are not permitted. As a result, there are no swap or overnight rollover fees for any trader, irrespective of their religious needs or preferences. This operational rule effectively removes the need for a designated swap-free or Islamic account, since the primary concern—overnight interest charges—is absent. However, I did not see any explicit labeling or provisions for Sharia-compliant accounts in their documentation or platform options. For traders with strict religious requirements, I would exercise caution and recommend reaching out to Topstep’s support directly to clarify whether their structure meets your personal needs. From a risk perspective, it's important to remember that absence of swaps does not automatically make an account fully Sharia-compliant, as compliance often involves specific account governance and certifications. I would not rely solely on the lack of swap charges; a detailed discussion with the firm and potentially with a qualified advisor would be the prudent approach.
