04 Take Profit Trader

takeprofittrader.com

Targeted corrections checked October 5, 2026. Other fields retain their dated research; confirm your exact version and phase.

$25,000Evaluation subscription approx. $150/month (billed monthly until pass/cancel/reset); activation fee to go PRO reported as $130 standard, frequently waived via promo codes (e.g. NOFEE40, 50AND3). Numbers are third-party corroborated across 3+ independent sources; not confirmed on the official pricing page directly (blocked WebFetch/JS-rendered table).

Evaluation phase

Profit target
$1,500 (6% of account size) - third-party corroborated, consistent across multiple independent sources
Max drawdown
$1,500
Drawdown type
End-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown - CONFIRMED on official help-center article 'Rule 3: Do Not Hit End-Of-Day (EOD) Maximum Trailing Drawdown'. Trails the highest EOD balance upward using realized P&L only (calculated once per day at the close), locks permanently once it reaches the original starting balance.
Daily loss limit
No daily loss limit on the standard Test. PRO+ Development is a separate assigned live account with a soft daily loss limit.
Consistency rule
No single trading day may equal or exceed 50% of total net profit accumulated so far. This does NOT fail the test outright - the trader can keep trading until the largest single day drops back under the 50% threshold as total profit grows. Confirmed on official help-center 'Rule 5: Be Consistent' and official FAQ.
Min trading days
3 trading days minimum, effective for evaluations purchased on/after 2026-08-17 (official press release, PRNewswire; official TPT blog 'Take Profit Trader Changes Evals from 5 to 3 Days'). Prior/legacy requirement was 5 trading days; older evaluations/resets may still carry the 5-day rule.
Max contracts
3 standard futures contracts; up to 30 micro contracts (10x on permitted micro products) - third-party corroborated (propvator.com and others), not verified on official site directly.
Other rules
No counter-positions (cannot hold opposing positions in the same/closely-related product across your own accounts) - CONFIRMED official 'Rule 6'. Trade only CME-approved products during approved hours (flat by 5pm ET, no overnight/weekend) - CONFIRMED official 'Rule 4'. Exceeding max contract size even momentarily is an automatic fail. Unlimited simultaneous Test accounts permitted. Test reset fee reported around $79-$100 (third-party, not officially confirmed).

Funded phase

Account kind
PRO = simulated-funded (SIM) account, first funded tier reached automatically on passing the Test. PRO+ = live-market account, routed to the real exchange, reached only by discretionary invitation from TPT after sustained PRO profitability (third-party reports ~10 profitable trading days and/or ~$5k profit on PRO as informal benchmarks TPT uses to decide who gets an invite; TPT itself states there is no fixed published threshold and evaluation is holistic).
Activation or monthly fee
PRO: one-time activation fee, standard $130, frequently run at $0 during promotions (official FAQ: 'no PRO+ activation fees' during current promo; base fee historically $130 per third-party sourcing). No recurring monthly fee for PRO or PRO+ (confirmed on official FAQ). PRO+ traders reportedly pay ~$135/month extra only if they opt into non-CME exchange data (third-party, unconfirmed on official site).
Drawdown
$1,500 on PRO (equal to the Test drawdown amount for this tier, per official 'How to Keep Track of Your Drawdown' description that PRO buffer = the max drawdown amount). PRO+ reported to use the same or an EOD-based equivalent (third-party).
Drawdown type
PRO: intraday trailing drawdown - CONFIRMED official (calculated continuously through the day using peak balance including open/unrealized gains, not just end-of-day close; this is the single biggest behavioral change vs. the Test's EOD-only calculation and is reported as the most common cause of new-funded-account blowups in week one). PRO+: reverts to end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown (third-party corroborated, not text-confirmed on an official PRO+-specific rules page in this pass).
Daily loss limit
No daily loss limit on standard PRO/PRO+. Assigned PRO+ Development has a soft daily loss limit; select that separate profile.
Consistency rule
None on PRO or PRO+ - the 50% consistency rule is explicitly dropped once funded, per official FAQ and official 'PRO Account Rules' summaries. No separate payout-specific consistency requirement was found.
Payout schedule
Withdrawals available from day one, no minimum profitable-day count, no payout schedule/window, and (on PRO) no maximum withdrawal amount above the required buffer - confirmed via official FAQ. Minimum single payout request reported at $250 (a $50 fee applies to requests at or under that minimum; some third-party sources instead cite a $100 minimum for the PRO-to-wallet leg) - THIRD-PARTY, figures conflict slightly across sources, treat as approximate. Processing: PRO-to-wallet ~1 business day (instant via Plaid in many cases), wallet-to-bank ~1-3 business days via ACH/Wise/PayPal, same-day via wire (third-party).
Profit split
PRO: 80% to trader / 20% to firm (80/20) - CONFIRMED official. PRO+: 90% to trader / 10% to firm (90/10) - CONFIRMED official.
Scaling or contract limits
Max contract allotment is a static number per account size (same as the Test-phase cap for that tier - no profit-based scaling up or down is documented). Maximum of 5 active PRO/PRO+ accounts combined per trader - CONFIRMED official ('Rules for Multiple Accounts').
Other rules
PRO must place at least one trade every calendar week (Sun-Fri) to remain active - CONFIRMED official. A 'buffer zone' equal to the max drawdown amount above the starting balance must be maintained on PRO before withdrawals of profit at the stated split become unrestricted (official FAQ: 'Buffer equals drawdown amount; withdrawals above it use stated split'). PRO+ reportedly has no buffer-zone requirement, allowing profit to be taken same-day without restriction (official FAQ language: 'no buffer zone requirements' for PRO+).

Platforms: Tradovate, NinjaTrader 8, Rithmic (R-Trader), and SierraChart are all supported for connecting to a Take Profit Trader account. Test and PRO accounts trade in a simulated (SIM) environment (orders route to Rithmic/Tradovate/CQG infrastructure but do not reach the live exchange; TPT settles P&L internally). PRO+ is the only tier that routes live to the exchange. Data feed is CQG or Rithmic depending on account type; CME market data is included, other exchange data is a reported extra ~$135/month (third-party sourced, not verified on the official site).
Universal conduct rules: Confirmed on the firm's own site/help-center/press materials: (1) No overnight or weekend holding on any account type (Test, PRO, PRO+) — all positions and working orders must be flat by 5:00pm ET Mon-Fri; TPT auto-flattens anything still open at 4:55pm ET as a backstop. (2) Minimum evaluation trading days was cut from 5 to 3 effective 2026-08-17 (official press release via PRNewswire/Yahoo Finance and the firm's own blog post "Take Profit Trader Changes Evals from 5 to 3 Days"); this 3-day minimum applies only to evaluations purchased on/after 2026-08-17, older/reset evaluations may still carry the old 5-day requirement. (3) Standard Test/PRO/PRO+ accounts have no DLL; assigned PRO+ Development accounts have a separate soft DLL and reduced drawdown. Use the Development profile when assigned. (4) Consistency rule (no single trading day may equal or exceed 50% of total net profit) applies ONLY during the Test/evaluation phase and does not fail the test outright — it just means the trader must keep trading until the best day is under 50% of the (growing) total profit; the rule is dropped entirely once funded (PRO/PRO+). (5) Maximum 5 active PRO/PRO+ accounts combined per trader (not 5 of each) — implies a practical cap of 5 x $150K = $750K of simultaneous funded buying power; unlimited Test/evaluation accounts may be run concurrently. (6) No counter-positions rule: a trader may not hold opposing positions in the same or closely-related futures products across accounts under their control. (7) Automated bots and algorithmic trade execution are prohibited on Test, PRO and PRO+. Trades must be manually executed; the previous third-party automation exception is unsupported by official policy. (8) News-trading restriction: Test/evaluation accounts are currently allowed to trade through news; PRO and PRO+ funded accounts must be flat (no open positions, no working orders) 1 minute before, during, and 1 minute after designated high-impact events (FOMC statements Wed 2:00pm ET, NFP, CPI, Crude Oil Inventories); TPT reviews PRO accounts for news-window violations before approving payouts. (9) Approved products are CME Group futures/micros only (ES/MES, NQ/MNQ, RTY/M2K, YM/MYM, CL, NG, GC, SI, HG, ZC, ZS, ZW per third-party sourcing); Treasury products (ZB, ZN) are reportedly excluded — this specific product list is THIRD-PARTY sourced, not directly confirmed on the official site in this research pass. (10) Weekly activity requirement on PRO: at least one trade every calendar week (Sun-Fri) to keep the account active. (11) KYC and MFA are required to activate a funded account (from the firm's own FAQ/help-center listing).
News and overnight: No overnight or weekend position holds are permitted on any account type; all trading days run roughly 6:00pm ET to 5:00pm ET the next session, and everything must be flat by 5:00pm ET (auto-flatten backstop at 4:55pm ET). News trading is unrestricted during the Test/evaluation phase but blacked out on funded PRO/PRO+ accounts for a window (-1 min to +1 min) around FOMC, NFP, CPI, and similar high-impact releases; violating the funded-account news blackout can block payout approval.
Corrections and uncertainty

$75,000 tier max drawdown (eval AND PRO funded) reduced from $3,000 to $2,500; $100,000 tier reduced from $4,000 to $3,000. Financially material — verified on the official Rule 3 table and cross-checked against the PRO buffer table, corroborated by proptradingvibes.com and pickmytrade.trade.
Official source

SierraChart formally dropped from officially supported platforms (confirmed via Sierra Chart's own support forum quoting TPT's position). New rule found: post-termination buffer-zone withdrawal split — 50/50 if ≤60 trading days on the account, 80/20 if >60 days.
Official source Official source

Removed unsupported automation exception and firm-wide no-DLL wording. Added assigned PRO+ Development live profiles. Tier numbers are directly published but single-source: planner defaults remain blank pending dashboard confirmation.
