Trading Tones
Trading Tones let you customize the sounds TopstepX plays when key trading events occur. You can use the built-in TopstepX sounds, or upload your own custom audio files for individual events.
Custom tones override the built-in sound for that event only — all other events continue to use their built-in sounds.
How to Access Trading Tones
- Click the Settings gear icon on the left sidebar.
- Select the Misc tab.

Uploading a Custom Tone
- In the Trading Tones section, find the event you want to customize.
- Click the upload icon next to that event.
- Select an audio file from your computer. Supported formats: .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .m4a, .webm (maximum file size: 3 MB).
- The event row will update to confirm your custom tone is set.
Your custom tone will now play instead of the audio pack sound whenever that event occurs.
Previewing a Tone
Click the play icon next to any event to preview the sound currently configured for it.
Removing a Custom Tone
Click the delete (trash) icon next to an event to remove the custom tone. The event will revert to the built-in sound.
Notes
- Custom tones only override the audio pack for the specific event they are assigned to.
- Events with neither a custom tone nor a built-in sound configured will not play any audio when triggered.
