Pros & Cons
Take Profit Trader pros & cons
The strengths and trade-offs our editors weigh when scoring this firm.
What traders like
- Names its live broker. Take Profit Trader states that it 'uses Tradovate as its regulated broker for live (PRO+) accounts', which almost no futures funding firm does.
- Publishes a dated pass rate against its own marketing: 36.22% of Trading Tests passed between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2025.
- Registry-verifiable operator: TAKEPROFITTRADER LLC is an active Florida LLC, document number L21000145354, with the named founder as its own registered agent.
- No daily loss limit on any account size, and no time limit on the Trading Test.
- Withdrawals are available from day one of the PRO account with no payout window and no maximum withdrawal, once the balance clears the buffer.
- Commissions are published up front, $4.50 per round turn and $1.50 on micros, with the firm disclosing that it sets them itself.
What to watch
- The drawdown gets stricter after you pass. End-of-day trailing during the Test becomes intraday trailing on the funded PRO account, where unrealised profit drags the minimum balance up in real time.
- 80% is the profit split on PRO. 90% only arrives on promotion to PRO+, and the firm says there is no single threshold that determines promotion.
- No total payouts figure is published anywhere on the site.
- Withdrawals of $250 or less from the wallet carry a $50 fee, which is a heavy proportional charge on small payouts.
- No automated or bot trading of any kind is permitted, so a whole class of strategy is ruled out.
- PRO and PRO+ accounts must be flat one minute before, during and one minute after FOMC, Non-Farm Payroll and CPI releases.

Rules
Take Profit Trader rules, explained
The rules that actually get traders breached: what they are and how this firm sets them.
| Rule | Take Profit Trader | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Drawdown type | Hybrid | Trailing drawdown follows your equity peak and is the #1 cause of surprise breaches; static drawdown is fixed from starting balance and far more forgiving. |
| Consistency rule | 50% cap per day | Caps how much of your total profit can come from a single day. A strict cap can delay or void payouts for traders with a few big wins. |
| News trading | Restricted | Some firms void trades placed around high-impact news releases, which is critical if you trade NFP, CPI, or rate decisions. |
| Expert advisors (EAs) | Not allowed | Determines whether automated strategies and copiers are permitted, and whether an EA can get your account flagged. |
| Minimum trading days | 5 days | The floor on how fast you can pass a phase, which matters if you trade infrequently or want to pass quickly. |
| Challenge time limit | No time limit | A deadline forces you to trade whether or not your setup appears. Firms with no time limit let you sit out bad conditions. |
| Weekend / overnight holding | Not allowed | Swing traders need positions to survive the Friday close. Where holding is barred, open trades are closed for you and gaps cannot be traded. |
| Copy trading | Allowed | Decides whether you can mirror one strategy across several accounts. Most firms that allow it restrict it to accounts you own yourself. |
