Take Profit Trader Rule Profile
Take Profit Trader is a futures prop firm in the AskPropfirm dataset. The current local record frames it as a one-step evaluation firm with a Test stage, a simulated PRO funded stage, and an invitation-only PRO+ live stage. That stage structure matters because the drawdown model, news rules, trading environment, and payout terms are not identical across the journey.
Use this page as a rule map, not as a live contract. Take Profit Trader rules can change, and any trader should verify the current official terms before buying a test, activating a PRO account, or requesting a payout.
What is Take Profit Trader?
Take Profit Trader is listed as TakeProfitTrader LLC, founded in 2022 and based in Orlando, Florida, USA. The current Hub snapshot stores a Trustpilot rating of 4.4 from 8,790 reviews, last checked on 2026-04-30. The source data itself also mentions 4.4 and a higher local review-count value, so AskPropfirm treats reputation numbers as stored snapshots rather than live scores.
The confirmed market is futures. The data describes CME Group futures coverage, including equity indices, currencies, energies, metals, agriculturals, interest rates, and crypto futures. Supported platform examples include NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, R|Trader, Quantower, MotiveWave, Sierra Chart, and BookMap.
The buying decision should start with rules, not account size. Take Profit Trader uses different drawdown handling in Test, PRO, and PRO+, and the PRO payout buffer can affect when profits become withdrawable.
Quick Verdict
Take Profit Trader may fit futures traders who want a one-step evaluation with no daily loss rule, no time limit, and clear account-size targets. The strongest appeal in the current data is the simple Test structure: five trading days, a profit target, EOD trailing drawdown, and fixed contract limits.
The main caution is that passing the Test is not the same as having a simple funded account. PRO accounts are simulated, use intraday trailing drawdown, require a payout buffer before standard withdrawals, and restrict certain news events. PRO+ is live, invitation-only, and uses EOD drawdown with a different profit split.
Who Take Profit Trader Fits
- Futures traders who want a one-step Test rather than a multi-phase challenge.
- Traders who can handle EOD trailing drawdown during the Test.
- Traders who understand that PRO uses intraday trailing drawdown.
- Traders who can manually execute trades without bots or automated systems.
- Traders who want daily payout availability but can respect payout buffers and KYC matching.
- Traders who can verify their country is not restricted before creating an account.
Who Should Pause
- Traders who use automated bots, EAs, or fully automated execution.
- Traders who use counter-position or hedging behavior across related products.
- Traders who need to trade prohibited news in PRO or PRO+.
- Traders who dislike payout buffers or want every dollar above starting balance withdrawable immediately.
- Traders who may access the account through VPNs, remote connections, or restricted jurisdictions.

Do not rely on this short excerpt as complete; verify your country directly before buying.
Program Structure
The structured data includes one program family called Standard. It has three stages:
| Stage | Type | Trading environment | Drawdown basis |
| Test | Evaluation | Simulated | EOD trailing |
| PRO | Funded | Simulated | Intraday trailing |
| PRO+ | Funded live | Live | EOD trailing |
PRO+ is not an automatic upgrade. The local data says it is invitation-only, at Take Profit Trader's discretion, based on consistent profitability.
Account Sizes, Targets, Drawdown, And Contracts
The current local data lists five account sizes:
| Account size | Profit target | Test max drawdown | Max contracts |
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,500 | 3 contracts / 30 micros |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | 6 contracts / 60 micros |
| $75K | $4,500 | $3,000 | 9 contracts / 90 micros |
| $100K | $6,000 | $4,000 | 12 contracts / 120 micros |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | 15 contracts / 150 micros |
The Test has no daily loss rule in the source data. That does not remove risk; it means the key risk boundary is the EOD trailing drawdown plus the account's contract limit.
The data says there is no scaling plan. The same contract limits apply in Test and PRO.
Test Rules
The Test stage is the evaluation stage. The local data confirms:
- Minimum trading days: 5.
- Trading period: unlimited.
- Daily drawdown: none.
- Consistency rule: 50%.
- Drawdown basis: EOD trailing.
- Overnight holding: all positions must be closed by 5:00 PM ET.
- News trading: allowed during the Test.
The 50% consistency rule means no single trading day can exceed 50% of total net profits during the Test. A trader can hit the profit target and still have a problem if the profit distribution is too concentrated.
PRO Rules
After passing and activating, the PRO stage changes the rule profile. The current data says:
- PRO trading environment: simulated.
- PRO drawdown basis: intraday trailing.
- Daily drawdown: none.
- Consistency rule: none.
- Profit split: 80/20, trader keeps 80%.
- Payout cycle: daily, above the required buffer.
- Weekly activity: at least one round-trip per calendar week, Sunday to Friday.
- Resets: up to 3 PRO resets are available.
The drawdown shift is the most important difference. The Test uses EOD trailing drawdown, while PRO uses intraday trailing drawdown that can trail peak balance including unrealized gains in real time. A trader who passes the Test with an EOD mindset must adjust risk before trading PRO.
PRO+ Rules
PRO+ is the live-account stage in the data. It is invitation-only and routed live through Tradovate according to the local source. The current data says:
- PRO+ trading environment: live.
- PRO+ drawdown basis: EOD trailing.
- Daily drawdown: none.
- Profit split: 90/10, trader keeps 90%.
- Payout cycle: daily.
- Buffer requirement: none.
- Commission rate: live broker rates.
Because PRO+ is discretionary, traders should not buy a Test assuming a guaranteed live-account upgrade.
Activation Fee And Payout Buffer
The data lists a one-time $130 activation fee to get a PRO account after passing the Test.
PRO accounts also use a payout buffer. The account must exceed the buffer balance before standard withdrawals at the 80% split:
| Account size | PRO balance needed before withdrawal |
| $25K | $26,500 |
| $50K | $52,000 |
| $75K | $77,500 |
| $100K | $103,000 |
| $150K | $154,500 |
The buffer is not described as a normal immediately withdrawable profit zone. The local data says profits inside the buffer can be withdrawn only after account termination, with 50% returned if the account was active 60 days or less and 80% returned if active more than 60 days.
Payout Methods And Minimums
The current data lists:
- Minimum withdrawal: $250.
- Maximum withdrawal: no maximum confirmed in the source.
- Payout methods: Plaid for US bank payouts, PayPal, and Wise.
- KYC match: payout account name must match the registered account name.
- Withdrawal fee: withdrawals of exactly $250 incur a $50 fee; withdrawals over $250 are listed as free.
Payout account mismatch is an avoidable problem. If the payout destination does not match the registered user details, the source says it can cause delay or denial.
News, Automation, And Trading Restrictions
The data separates Test from PRO and PRO+ news rules:
| Stage | News rule |
| Test | News trading allowed |
| PRO | Must close positions and orders 1 minute before, during, and 1 minute after prohibited events |
| PRO+ | Same restriction as PRO |
The prohibited events listed are FOMC, NFP, and CPI for all products; crude oil inventories for crude oil; and bond auctions for 10Y Note and 30Y Bond products.
Other restrictions in the local data:
- Automated or bot trading is not allowed.
- All trades must be manually executed.
- Counter positions are not allowed in the same or related products.
- VPNs, remote connections, or shared networks routing through restricted countries are prohibited.
- Each customer may register only one email address.
- PRO accounts must trade at least one day per calendar week.
- PRO accounts must exit positions before limit up or limit down is reached.
These rules are not decorative. They are the kind of restrictions that can override an otherwise profitable account.
Risk Notes
AskPropfirm's local data marks overall risk as medium. It includes a medium-severity payout-complaint flag based on scattered user reports of payout denials without clear explanation, while also noting that Trustpilot remains positive in the stored snapshot. It also includes a low-severity informational flag that PRO accounts are simulated and only PRO+ accounts are live on exchange.
This does not prove a trader should avoid Take Profit Trader. It means the correct review posture is verification-first: confirm payout rules, buffer rules, KYC name match, trading environment, and prohibited behavior before assuming the offer fits.
Strategy Fit
Take Profit Trader may fit traders who:
- Trade CME-style futures manually.
- Prefer one-step evaluations.
- Can pass with at least five trading days and a 50% consistency rule.
- Can close Test positions by 5:00 PM ET.
- Can adjust from Test EOD drawdown to PRO intraday trailing drawdown.
- Can keep payout expectations aligned with the PRO buffer.
It may be a poor fit for traders who need automation, unrestricted hedging, always-live execution, unrestricted news trading in funded stages, or access from a restricted country.

- Topstep for a long-running futures prop firm with its own Combine and funded-account structure.

Final Rule-First Verdict
Take Profit Trader is a serious rule-check candidate for futures traders because the local data is specific: one-step Test, no daily loss rule, EOD trailing drawdown in evaluation, intraday trailing drawdown in PRO, daily payout language, and a clear payout-buffer structure.
The strongest fit is a manual futures trader who understands that Test rules and PRO rules are not the same. The biggest caution is the funded-stage transition: activation fee, payout buffer, intraday trailing drawdown, news restrictions, and compliance rules all matter after the Test is passed.
Before buying, verify the official rulebook, current restricted-country list, platform availability, activation fee, payout methods, and all PRO buffer terms directly with Take Profit Trader.
