Take Profit Trader Review 2026: Challenge Rules, Fees and Payouts

Trading runs from 6 pm to 5 pm ET, and open positions are closed automatically at 4:55 pm ET.

Positions cannot be held overnight.

PRO and PRO+ accounts may not hold positions from one minute before to one minute after FOMC, NFP and CPI releases.

Bots and algorithmic trading are not allowed.

Opposing positions are not allowed.

Copiers are allowed only between a trader’s own accounts and only from an approved list: Tradesyncer, TradeCopia, Affordable Indicators, Replikanto Compliance Edition and platform-native copying.

The best day must stay below 50% of total net profit.

Missing it does not fail the Test; the profit target rises instead, to more than twice the best day.

Funded accounts have no consistency rule.

PRO accounts must trade at least once in every calendar week.

The Test needs at least 3 trading days and has no time limit and no daily loss limit.

The maximum loss trails the end-of-day balance and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. Touching the minimum balance, realised or unrealised, liquidates the account.

The subscription cancels automatically after a pass. A failed attempt does not cancel it, so the trader must cancel manually.

A passed Test leads to a simulated funded PRO account. Activation costs a one-time USD 130 and PRO has no recurring fee; some promotions waive the activation fee.

The PRO drawdown equals the Test drawdown but trails intraday, and it also stops at the starting balance. A PRO account can be reset up to 3 times at the prices above.

PRO+ is a live-market account for traders Take Profit Trader invites. It pays a 90% profit split, uses an end-of-day drawdown and has no buffer.

The Terms of Service say a purchase can be refunded within 72 hours if the account has not been used or traded. The refund is the amount paid minus a USD 75 fee.

Traders can run unlimited Tests, hold up to 5 active funded accounts and activate up to 10 passed Tests every 30 days.

Take Profit Trader says 36.22% of Trading Tests were passed between 1 January and 31 December 2025.

PRO pays 80% of profit to the trader and PRO+ pays 90%.

Withdrawals open from the first day of a PRO account, with no minimum number of profitable days and no maximum amount.

Payouts at the 80% split begin once the balance reaches the starting balance plus the maximum drawdown: USD 26,500 on the 25K account, USD 52,000 on the 50K account, USD 77,500 on the 75K account, USD 103,000 on the 100K account and USD 154,500 on the 150K account.

Take Profit Trader says that 50% of the buffer can be withdrawn after the account is closed.

Funds move from the account to a wallet, then to a bank account, PayPal, Wise or Routable.

The name on the payout method must match the account holder.

Take Profit Trader says transfers from a Tradovate PRO account to the wallet take seconds, and a wallet-to-bank request can take up to 12 business hours to approve.

Wallet withdrawals of USD 250 or less cost USD 50, larger withdrawals have no fee, and PayPal may add its own fees.

Identity verification is mandatory before purchase.

Take Profit Trader publishes a long list of restricted countries that includes Vietnam, Turkey, South Africa, Nigeria, the Philippines, Pakistan, Russia and Ukraine.

A VPN blocks registration, and a trade placed from a listed country triggers a restriction.

Traders choose a CQG or Rithmic data feed at purchase.

Test and PRO accounts pay USD 4.50 per round turn per contract and USD 1.50 for micro contracts.

PRO+ follows the NinjaTrader commission schedule.

Level 2 depth is free for one exchange and costs USD 15 a month for each extra exchange on Rithmic.

TakeProfitTrader LLC is the company named in the Terms of Service and in the footer of the Take Profit Trader website. The Florida Division of Corporations lists it as an active limited liability company under document number L21000145354, filed on 29 March 2021, with its principal address in Windermere, Florida.

The Terms of Service say that legal action is brought in the state or federal courts of Florida.

Take Profit Trader has one path: a Trading Test on a monthly subscription, a simulated funded PRO account after passing, and a PRO+ account for traders the firm invites.

Test and PRO accounts are simulated. PRO+ trades live markets and is offered at the firm’s discretion by invitation only.

Take Profit Trader states that futures trading carries substantial risk and that simulated results do not represent actual trading.
