Take Profit Trader Basics
What is Take Profit Trader?
Take Profit Trader is a proprietary trading firm that provides funded trading accounts to traders who pass an evaluation process. You pay an evaluation fee, hit a profit target without breaching drawdown rules, and graduate to a funded account where the firm pays you a share of profits. See the firm's official website for current rules, plans, and payout policies.
Is Take Profit Trader legit?
Always verify independently before purchasing. Check Trustpilot reviews, community forums like r/PropFirm, and the firm's official documentation. Read the funded trader agreement carefully before paying any evaluation fee. Prop firm rules, fees, and payout policies change frequently.
Are Take Profit Trader accounts real money or simulated?
Most retail prop firms, including Take Profit Trader, operate evaluations and funded accounts on simulated infrastructure mirroring real market data. Payouts come from the firm's evaluation revenue. Check the firm's terms for details on how funded accounts work at Take Profit Trader specifically.
Is Take Profit Trader regulated?
Most prop firms operate as technology or contractor companies, not as regulated broker-dealers or FCMs. They are not typically registered with the SEC, CFTC, FINRA, or FCA unless specifically stated. The legal relationship is governed by the firm's trader agreement. Always verify the firm's regulatory status on their official website.
Account Types
What evaluation models does Take Profit Trader offer?
Take Profit Trader offers evaluation programs that require traders to hit profit targets while staying within drawdown limits. See their official website for a current list of available evaluation models, as plans and structures change frequently.
What is the difference between the evaluation and funded account at Take Profit Trader?
The evaluation is the test phase where you must hit a profit target without breaching drawdown rules. The funded account is the phase you graduate into after passing, where you can request payouts based on your trading performance. Rules, drawdown types, and payout mechanics often differ between the two phases.
Does Take Profit Trader offer instant funding?
Some prop firms offer instant funding paths alongside standard evaluations. Check Take Profit Trader's official website for their current product lineup, as instant-funded offerings are frequently added or modified.
Can I run multiple funded accounts at Take Profit Trader?
Many prop firms allow multiple concurrent funded accounts, often with a maximum cap per household. Check Take Profit Trader's terms for their specific multi-account policy, including any rules on hedging across accounts or copying trades between accounts.
Plans & Pricing
What account sizes does Take Profit Trader offer?
Take Profit Trader offers multiple account sizes ranging from smaller starter accounts to larger funded accounts. Specific sizes and pricing vary; check their official website for current offerings. Evaluation fees often vary significantly based on promotional discounts. Current range:$25K - $200K.
Does Take Profit Trader charge monthly fees or one-time fees?
Prop firm fee structures vary — some charge recurring monthly subscriptions, others have moved to one-time evaluation fees. Check Take Profit Trader's current pricing page for their fee model, as this changes with product updates.
Does Take Profit Trader offer discount codes?
Most prop firms run regular discount promotions. Check Take Profit Trader's official website and their email newsletter for active promo codes. Aggregator sites also list current codes for major prop firms.
Profit Targets
What are the profit targets on Take Profit Trader evaluations?
Take Profit Trader sets profit targets as a percentage of the account balance for each evaluation. Always verify the exact current targets on Take Profit Trader's official website, as they change with product updates. Typical target:6-10%.
Do profit targets exist on funded accounts at Take Profit Trader?
Most prop firms remove mandatory profit targets once you're in the funded phase, focusing instead on drawdown limits and payout eligibility thresholds. Check Take Profit Trader's funded account terms for their specific rules.
Does Take Profit Trader evaluate on closing balance or floating equity?
Most prop firms evaluate profit target achievement on closed P&L (realized profit), not floating unrealized equity. This means you need to close your positions for the profit to count toward hitting the target. Verify Take Profit Trader's specific rule in their documentation.
Drawdowns: Trailing & Daily
What type of drawdown does Take Profit Trader use?
Take Profit Trader uses drawdown limits to cap your maximum loss. Common drawdown types include trailing drawdown (floor moves up with profits), static maximum drawdown (fixed from initial balance), and daily loss limits. Check Take Profit Trader's documentation for their specific drawdown mechanics on each account type.
Does the drawdown at Take Profit Trader apply to unrealized (floating) P&L?
Whether drawdown is calculated on equity (including open positions) or balance (only closed trades) varies by firm and account type. Intraday-style trailing drawdowns typically track unrealized P&L, while end-of-day drawdowns only update at session close. Verify Take Profit Trader's specific rule in their terms.
What happens when I breach the drawdown at Take Profit Trader?
Breaching the drawdown limit typically results in automatic position liquidation and account closure. On evaluations, you would need to purchase a new evaluation to try again. Some firms offer paid resets; check Take Profit Trader's policy for options after a drawdown breach.
What is a daily loss limit (DLL) at Take Profit Trader?
A daily loss limit caps how much you can lose in a single trading day. Breaching the DLL typically suspends trading for that day without permanently closing the account. You resume trading the next session. Check Take Profit Trader's documentation for their exact DLL amounts per account size.
Consistency Rule
Does Take Profit Trader have a consistency rule?
Many prop firms enforce a consistency rule that limits how much of your total profit can come from a single trading day — typically expressed as a maximum percentage (e.g., 30–50%). This prevents traders from qualifying via one large lucky trade. Check whether Take Profit Trader enforces this rule and the exact threshold.
Does violating the consistency rule fail my account at Take Profit Trader?
Typically, violating the consistency rule blocks a payout request rather than failing the account. You would need to trade additional smaller-profit days to bring your best-day percentage back under the threshold before requesting a payout. Confirm Take Profit Trader's exact policy.
Does the consistency rule reset after a payout at Take Profit Trader?
At most prop firms, the consistency clock resets after each approved payout, starting fresh for the next payout cycle. Verify this behavior in Take Profit Trader's funded account terms.
Trading Days, Hours & Holidays
Does Take Profit Trader require a minimum number of trading days?
Many prop firms require a minimum number of qualifying trading days before you can request a payout. A qualifying day usually means you traded and met a minimum profit threshold for that day. Check Take Profit Trader's specific minimum-day requirements for evaluations and funded accounts.
Can I trade news events at Take Profit Trader?
Some prop firms restrict trading around high-impact news events (e.g., NFP, FOMC). Others allow it freely. Check Take Profit Trader's trading rules for their current news trading policy, as this varies significantly between firms.
Can I hold positions overnight at Take Profit Trader?
Overnight holding rules differ by firm and account type. Some firms (especially futures-focused ones) require all positions to be flat before the daily close. Others allow swing trading with positions held overnight or over weekends. Verify Take Profit Trader's overnight/weekend holding policy in their terms.

What are the contract/lot size limits at Take Profit Trader?
Most prop firms enforce maximum position size limits to manage risk. These are typically expressed as maximum contracts (futures) or maximum lot sizes (forex). Check Take Profit Trader's position size rules per account size in their official documentation.
Automation & EAs
Does Take Profit Trader allow automated trading / EAs?
