<![CDATA[topstep vs the5%ers - one for futures and forex blend]]>ive been doing prop futures with topstep for a year, profitable but small (around 6k taken out total). thinking about adding forex to my routine and considering whether to:

a) stay with topstep, use their forex offering
b) take a small the5ers challenge for forex
c) keep them separate, run both in parallel

topstep forex is newer and i hear the rules are tighter than their futures product. the5ers seems more battle tested for fx.

any blend traders here doing both products successfully?
