Why connecting TopstepX signs you out of the TopstepX platform
TopstepX's API allows only one active session per username. Connecting in Wogul ends any session you have open on the TopstepX web or desktop app under the same login.
What happens when you connect or reconnect
When Wogul connects to TopstepX, it claims your account's only authentication session. If you have the TopstepX web app or desktop app open under the same login, that session ends and you'll be signed out there.
Open orders, positions, and trading state are not affected. Only the login session ends. Your account keeps trading exactly as configured.
Why this happens
The TopstepX API enforces a one-session-per-username limit. Every successful login invalidates the previous session for that username. This is a server-side rule from TopstepX, not a Wogul restriction, and it applies to any third-party app that uses the API.
Wogul has no way to share or coexist with another active TopstepX session under the same login.
How to use both Wogul and the TopstepX platform
- Keep Wogul open as your view of those accounts. The dashboard shows the same balances, positions, and P&L as the TopstepX platform, plus copy activity.
- If you need the TopstepX platform directly, open Connections in Wogul and click Pause on the TopstepX connection. That releases the session so you can log in. Copying to those accounts pauses until you click Reconnect, which re-establishes the session in one click.
Pause keeps your API key on file. Reconnect skips the credential entry and brings the connection back instantly.
What about Tradovate?
Tradovate is different. It allows up to 2 concurrent sessions, so you can keep Wogul connected and trade on Tradovate's web or desktop app at the same time. A 3rd session would disconnect the oldest.
