The Scientist Behind Topstep Labs

Topstep acquired The Futures Desk because we knew how much they cared about the development of Futures traders. Josh Schwartzberg was the man behind The Futures Desk, and now he’s the head scientist behind Topstep Labs.
"We built The Futures Desk because we believed traders deserved a better way to learn. Topstep Labs gives us the opportunity to bring those ideas to life at Topstep scale."
