## What this firm publishes

Take Profit Trader is a Florida-based futures prop firm that calls itself a one-step funding company, and the selling point it leads with is payouts from day one of the funded PRO account, then daily. Traders pass a single Test, billed as a monthly subscription with no time limit, in five account sizes from $25,000 to $150,000, then move to a simulated PRO account at an 80% profit split. PRO+ is a live-market account routed to the exchange through Tradovate, offered by invitation at the firm's discretion, with a 90% profit split, end-of-day drawdown and no buffer. Take Profit Trader lists 14 platforms on CQG and Rithmic data feeds, including Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView and Quantower, for CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX futures.

The Take Profit Trader Test has a 6% profit target ($3,000 on a $50,000 account), a minimum of 3 trading days and a consistency rule: no single day may exceed 50% of net profit, and missing it raises the profit goal rather than failing the Test. The maximum trailing drawdown runs from $1,500 on $25,000 to $4,500 on $150,000; in the Test it moves up only on end-of-day balances, but touching the minimum balance intraday still liquidates the account, and there is no daily loss limit. In PRO the same drawdown trails intraday, unrealized gains included. Accounts are also closed for holding past the 4:55 PM Eastern auto-close, opposite positions in the same or related contracts such as ES and MES across any accounts you control, and trading bots; PRO and PRO+ must be flat one minute either side of FOMC, NFP and CPI.

In PRO, withdrawals at 80% begin once the balance clears a buffer equal to the maximum drawdown, for example $52,000 on a $50,000 account. Most Tradovate PRO withdrawals reach the wallet in 5-10 seconds, and wallet payouts go out through Plaid to US banks, PayPal or Wise after a compliance review of up to 12 business hours; wallet withdrawals of $250 or less carry a $50 fee. Activating a PRO account costs a one-time $130, which some promo codes waive. Unused accounts can be refunded within 72 hours, minus $75. The monthly Test price was not on the pages read.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Take Profit Trader's profit split?

80% on the simulated PRO account and 90% on the live PRO+ account. PRO+ is by invitation only, at Take Profit Trader's discretion.

### What are the Take Profit Trader drawdown rules?

The maximum trailing drawdown is $1,500 on a $25,000 account, $2,000 on $50,000, $2,500 on $75,000, $3,000 on $100,000 and $4,500 on $150,000, and it stops trailing at the starting balance. In the Test it trails end-of-day balances and in PRO it trails intraday including open profit; in both, reaching the minimum balance at any moment liquidates the account. There is no daily loss limit.

### What are the Take Profit Trader payout rules?

PRO accounts can withdraw from day one and daily, at 80%, once the balance exceeds the buffer, which equals the maximum drawdown. Profits inside the buffer can only be taken when the account ends, at 50% within 60 trading days of opening or 80% after that. You must be flat to request a withdrawal, and wallet payouts are paid by Plaid to US banks, PayPal or Wise.

### How much does a Take Profit Trader account cost?

The monthly Test subscription price was not on the pages we read. The published costs are a one-time $130 PRO activation fee, Test resets from $79 to $199 by account size, PRO resets from $449 to $1,499, and commissions of $4.50 per round trip per contract ($1.50 on micros).

### Does Take Profit Trader charge an activation fee?

Yes, a standard one-time $130 fee to activate a PRO account after passing the Test, which some promo codes replace with an activation credit. The homepage contrasts this with the monthly recurring fees it attributes to other firms.

### Does Take Profit Trader have a consistency rule?

Yes, in the Test only: your highest profit day must be under 50% of total net profit. If it is not, you have not failed; your profit goal rises to twice your net P/L, and the homepage table lists no consistency rule on PRO or PRO+.

### Does Take Profit Trader allow news trading?

Not around major releases on funded accounts. PRO and PRO+ accounts must be flat with no open orders from one minute before to one minute after FOMC statements, NFP and CPI, and around Crude Oil Inventories and bond auctions for the affected products; the homepage table shows no news rule for the Test.

### Does Take Profit Trader allow bots and copy trading?

Trading bots and algorithmic execution are not permitted on any Take Profit Trader account. Trade copiers are allowed across your own accounts using approved tools such as Tradesyncer, TradeCopia or platform-native copiers, but a copier that creates opposite positions still counts as a violation.

### How many accounts can you have at Take Profit Trader?

As many Test accounts as you like, and up to 5 active PRO or PRO+ funded accounts per person. You can activate at most 10 passed Tests in any 30 calendar days.

### Which countries are restricted at Take Profit Trader?

Take Profit Trader lists 119 restricted countries and territories, including Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Morocco, Kenya, South Africa, Turkey, Vietnam, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Croatia, Malta, Romania and Slovenia. The United States is not on the list, and trading or viewing market data from a restricted country, even through a VPN, gets the account blocked.

### Does Take Profit Trader refund the Test fee?

Only within 72 hours of purchase and only if the account has not been used or traded, minus a $75 fee for technology and data costs. Breaking a rule does not cancel the monthly subscription; you have to cancel it yourself in the dashboard.

### Is Take Profit Trader legit?

Take Profit Trader is operated by TakeProfitTrader LLC from Florida, and its CEO is founder James Sixsmith. It states that neither the NFA nor the CFTC requires futures funding firms to be members; Test and PRO accounts are simulated on Tradovate and Rithmic, and PRO+ orders go to the exchange through Tradovate.
