Take Profit Trader

Target, size, drawdown, products, consistency, counter positions

Take Profit Trader numbers its rules: hit the profit target (6% of account size), do not exceed the maximum position size, do not hit the end-of-day maximum trailing drawdown, trade approved products during approved hours, be consistent, and take no counter positions. Each is published as its own article with the figures per account size.

Not measured intraday

The trailing drawdown on a test account is calculated at the end of the trading day rather than during open trades, so an intraday spike in open profit does not raise the floor. It is $1,500 on a 25K, $2,000 on a 50K, $2,500 on a 75K, $3,000 on a 100K and $4,500 on a 150K, and shows in the dashboard as a minimum account balance.

And missing it is not a fail

A test needs at least three trading days - a day being any day with at least one trade - and no single day may be worth more than 50% of net profit. Going over 50% does not fail the account: the profit goal is automatically raised until the percentage falls back under, so the way through is more total profit rather than a reset.

Buffer equals the drawdown

A PRO account can withdraw from day one with no minimum number of winning days and no maximum amount, but only above the buffer zone, which is set at the account's maximum drawdown. A 50K must reach $52,000 before withdrawing; a 150K $154,500. PRO+ removes the buffer requirement entirely.

And PRO+ is live

The PRO account pays the trader 80% of simulated profits. Upgrading to PRO+ moves the account into a live environment where orders are routed to the exchange by a regulated broker, raises the split to 90/10 and removes the buffer. Up to five PRO or PRO+ accounts may be held; test accounts are unlimited.

$50 under $250

Withdrawals from the wallet above $250 are free; $250 or less is charged $50, deducted automatically, and PayPal may add its own fees. Access from a restricted country, including through a VPN or a shared network, blocks the account on a single instance - placing a trade or even viewing market data counts.

Three per account

A PRO account may be reset up to three times, at $449 (25K), $649 (50K), $799 (75K), $999 (100K) or $1,499 (150K). A reset skips a fresh evaluation and restores day-one withdrawal rights on a new account with the same parameters. Take Profit Trader describes the cost as a convenience fee, not posted capital.
