NO COUPON

No public coupon on the 9 Oct 2026 check. Labs now leads with Drop #007, the $1.5K Challenge Powered Up, at $99 one-time (the September #004 version was $39 and capped at 2 micros). The parameter table allows 2 minis or 20 micros, a static $500 max loss, no daily loss limit, no consistency target, no minimum days, and no resets. The payout is a fixed $1,500 with no profit split and no path to a Live Funded Account. Max 5 per trader. The Responsible Trading discount does not apply. Drop #006, the $50K Static, stays $149. The FAQ still says Topstep does not run public coupon codes.

Labs Drop #007 is the $1.5K Challenge Powered Up at $99

The Topstep Labs help article was marked Updated today on 9 October and the drop table now lists #007, $1.5K Challenge - Powered Up, October 2026. topstep.com/labs was last published 8 October 2026 at 14:01 UTC and leads with the same drop: $99 one-time, pass at $1,500, fail at -$500, 2 minis or 20 micros, no daily loss limit, no consistency target, no minimum days, max 5 accounts. The September #004 version was $39 and capped at 2 micros. Starting balance is $0 on both rounds. There is no profit split: the second $1,500 target pays a fixed $1,500 once, then the account closes. There is no path to a Live Funded Account. The account expires after 90 days and closes after 30 days with no trades. The Responsible Trading discount does not apply. There is still no public coupon. The risk-adjustments article was also marked Updated today and prints a separate product ceiling (12 MCL/MGC, 1 of CL, GC, HO, QM, RB, MHG, SIL, and 0 of HG, PL, SI) that does not match the 2/20 parameter table one-for-one. Drop #006 stays $149. Affiliate buttons stay on the existing Topstep link. The new card checkout is the Labs page.
