How about agrement, after passing step 2?
1. What does "Grant and Relese" section means, i dont understand, for example:
the perpetual right to use name, portait, picture and more...
This means you can have rights to my image and i wont be able to do anything about it? Anytime you want you can use my data, photo and everything to advertise or other purposes?
2. Next thing is agreement to not take any legal actions against TST, isint it weird? So i wont have right to take you to court if something is wrong?
The rumors are true - Sierra Chart is working with Rithmic. We have confirmed with both SC and Rithmic. Sierra is confident that the stability/performance will be much better than the previous setup, and Rithmic confirmed the timing - May at the earliest. We are monitoring and will likely re-add once they are done with their work, and we have had the opportunity to test the new setup. It probably will not be re-added until H2 2021.
This is extremely excellent news, not only for users of the TS Combine, but for the entire industry, if in fact SC and Rithmic can work out a solution that lets SC be used with one of the major data/trade routing companies, after the previous falling out.
If is good for everyone if the pieces of the futures industry's trading system can operate together easily.
Thanks for the update.

Thanks for your questions. Hoping I can provide some clarity -
1. The Grant and Release is completely voluntary. You do not have to give consent. If you do give consent and provide your picture, we may use it on social media, emails, etc.
2. There is nothing in the agreement that states you may not take legal action against Topstep. If there are any disputes between either party (Topstep or the trader), as it relates to the agreement, it shall be settled through arbitration.
"Arbitration. Any disagreement, claim, or controversy between the Parties arising from this Agreement, including questions regarding the scope and applicability of this Section 10, shall be settled before the dispute resolution program at any of the CME Group, the National Futures Association (NFA), or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), as applicable (an “Exchange Arbitration”). In the event no Exchange Arbitration is applicable, then the Parties agree to settle any disputes or controversies before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Chicago, Illinois under the AAA’s then current Commercial Arbitration Rules. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding this Section 10, TopstepFunded may seek injunctive relief, in accordance with Section 5, in any competent court having jurisdiction."
I did ask support via e-mail, and got answer as well. I didn't notice that this part of agreement is not obligatory.
Than you very much for help. Big plus for your well functioning support.
One other suggestion I would like to ask which is very much many traders would appreciate.
There should be a separate approach for traders who were funded and failed. They have already gone through many combines, resets, Pro etc (months of work).
Once they are funded and blown away, they again have to start from Step 1 (Again months of work). If there is a way to have a single step for a failed funded trader would be appreciated.
Forgive me if this has already been answered somewhere but I am interested in doing a combine and getting funded by topstep. My question is that I plan on using bookmap to trade from but once in a blue moon bookmap crashes and I was wanting to know if you allow concurrent connections to rithmic so that I can use ninjatrader to close out of a trade if I happen to be in a trade and would rather bail on the trade instead of it hitting my stop or target. Or so that I don’t have to have this deathly fear that if don’t have a stop in even for one second and bookmap crashes without the stop I won’t blow the whole account while I restart bookmap. I would be willing to pay extra to be able to be logged into rithmic from bookmap and ninja at the same time.
I'm not from TopStep, but I can answer your question: You said that you want to close your open trade with NT if BookMap crashes, yes this is possible, but if you do your combine with BookMap, you always have Rithmic R-Trader (as backup) and there are no costs for the second connection.
