**Verification results:**

✓ **January 2025 rule change VERIFIED** — Multiple sources confirm daily loss limit removed for test accounts (January 2025), though important nuance: PRO accounts still have daily loss limits by account size; PRO+ accounts have no daily loss limit.

✓ **Trustpilot rating VERIFIED** — 4.4/5 with 8,751 reviews (tool data said 8,300+, now slightly higher)

✓ **Important discrepancy found** — Tool data claims "no daily loss limits" broadly, but reality is: test accounts = removed, PRO = still applies, PRO+ = removed

**Red flag discovered in Trustpilot reviews:** One reviewer noted potential "bait-and-switch" from EOD drawdown during evaluation to intraday drawdown after funding.

TakeProfitTrader Rules Overview

TakeProfitTrader is a futures-only proprietary trading firm founded in 2021 and based in Windermere, Florida. It caters to traders seeking daily payouts and simple one-step evaluations without lengthy evaluation periods. The firm operates on a simulated trading account model with a clear 6% profit target and uses NinjaTrader and Tradovate as primary broker integrations. A significant January 2025 rule change removed daily loss limits from test and PRO+ accounts, replacing them with an end-of-day trailing drawdown system instead.

Account Types and Pricing

TakeProfitTrader offers six account tiers across two main product lines: PRO and PRO+. Pricing is fixed monthly with no setup fees disclosed.

Account Type Account Size Monthly Cost Profit Split
PRO $25,000 $90/mo 80/20 (80% trader, 20% firm)
PRO $50,000 $102/mo 80/20
PRO $100,000 $198/mo 80/20
PRO+ $50,000 $170/mo 90/10 (90% trader, 10% firm)
PRO+ $150,000 $360/mo 90/10

Note: TakeProfitTrader does not offer a free tier. All trading requires an active, paid subscription.

Profit Targets

TakeProfitTrader uses a single-phase evaluation model with one clear milestone:

  • Profit Target: 6% of account balance
  • Calculation Method: Percentage-based on your simulated account starting balance
  • Example: On a $25,000 account, you need $1,500 in net profit to pass evaluation
  • No Time Limit: There is no deadline to reach the 6% target—traders can take as long as needed
  • Single Step: Once you hit 6% profit, you move directly to a funded account with real payouts (no additional phases or re-evaluation)

Drawdown Rules

TakeProfitTrader's drawdown structure changed significantly in January 2025. The current rules vary by account type:

  • Test Accounts (Evaluation): No daily loss limit (removed January 2025). Instead, an end-of-day trailing drawdown applies—your lowest end-of-day balance cannot fall below a trailing threshold based on your highest end-of-day balance during evaluation.
  • PRO Accounts (Funded): Daily loss limit applies and varies by account size (e.g., $1,500 limit on a $25K account). This represents a change from evaluation rules.
  • PRO+ Accounts (Funded): No daily loss limit—uses end-of-day trailing drawdown model instead
  • Trailing Drawdown Calculation: Based on highest end-of-day balance achieved; drawdown limit adjusts upward as profits grow
  • Reset: The trailing maximum drawdown resets each time you achieve a new end-of-day high
  • 50% Consistency Rule: You must achieve the 6% profit target with at least 50% winning days

Important Note: Trustpilot reviewers have flagged a potential policy shift: evaluation accounts use end-of-day drawdown rules, but after funding, intraday drawdown rules may apply (particularly on PRO accounts). Verify current funded account drawdown terms with TakeProfitTrader support before committing.

Red Flags and Fine Print

  • Futures-Only Limitation: If you trade stocks, forex, or crypto, TakeProfitTrader is not an option
  • $50 Withdrawal Fee on Small Payouts: Payouts under $250 incur a $50 fee (20% on a $250 payout)
  • 50% Consistency Rule: Must achieve 6% profit with at least 50% winning days
  • Evaluation vs. Funded Rule Shift: Trustpilot reviews report that evaluation accounts use end-of-day drawdown, but funded PRO accounts switch to intraday daily loss limits. PRO+ maintains no daily loss limit. Clarify which rules apply to your account type before trading
  • No Mobile App: TakeProfitTrader relies on Tradovate's mobile interface
  • Ongoing Monthly Subscription: Fees ($90–$360) continue after evaluation pass; factor this into profitability calculations

Trustpilot Reputation

TakeProfitTrader maintains a 4.4/5 rating on Trustpilot based on 8,751 reviews, categorized as Excellent. Positive reviews highlight fast payouts, daily payout capability, and straightforward rules. Concerns raised include rule changes between evaluation and funded accounts, and some payment ambiguity in implementation.
