Take Profit Trader (TPT) is a futures-only prop firm headquartered in Windermere, Florida, operating since 2022. It uses a three-stage model — Test (Evaluation) → PRO (Sim-Funded, 80/20) → PRO+ (Live, 90/10). It is best known for a trader-first design: day-one payouts, no daily loss limit, no payout caps, and a Trustpilot rating around 4.4/5.
Take Profit Trader suits disciplined intraday futures traders. The promo code NOFEE30 is always available and gives 30% off the monthly subscription plus $0 activation; without it you pay the list monthly price plus a one-time $130 activation when you pass. The single-step Test pays 80/20 in PRO and 90/10 in PRO+, and lets you withdraw from day one once you clear the buffer.
The 30-second verdict
There is a single account. With the always-on promo code NOFEE30 you pay 30% off the monthly plus $0 activation; without the code it is the list monthly plus a one-time $130 activation when you pass. The rules, targets, drawdown and contracts are identical either way. The one mechanic to understand: the trailing drawdown is EOD in the Test, switches to intraday in PRO, then reverts to EOD in PRO+ — the classic “easy to pass, hard to keep” trade-off. There is no daily loss limit and no payout cap.

Take Profit Trader vs. its closest competitors
How Take Profit Trader stacks up against Topstep and Tradeify — two firms traders most often compare it with.
| Metric | Take Profit Trader | Topstep | Tradeify |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50K Eval Fee | $170$119/mo | $165$85 | $145$87 |
| Profit Split | 80/20 → 90/10 (PRO+) | 90% / 10% | 90% / 10% |
| Days to Payout | Day one (above buffer) | 5 days | 1–5 days |
| Drawdown Type | EOD → intraday (PRO) | EOD Trailing | EOD Trailing |
| Max Funded Accounts | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Instant Funding Option | No | No | Yes (Lightning) |
| CPF Score | 4.3 | 4.7 | 5.0 |
💡 Bottom line: Take Profit Trader is built around payout flexibility — withdraw from day one once you clear the buffer, with no daily loss limit and no payout caps. The trade-off is the intraday trailing drawdown on PRO accounts, which is stricter than the EOD drawdown used in the Test and PRO+. Topstep counters with strong brand recognition, while Tradeify adds instant funding and faster approvals. If day-one, uncapped payouts matter most and you can manage an intraday drawdown, Take Profit Trader is a strong pick. PRO funded accounts can be reset up to three times if you hit the max drawdown — skip the evaluation and jump right back to funded status (PRO+ accounts cannot be reset).

Take Profit Trader is one of the firms that helped define retail futures funding, operating since 2022 out of Windermere, Florida with a large community of traders.

The headline value is a 90/10 split (in PRO+), a fast on-request payout system, and a single, straightforward evaluation with an always-on discount.
One account, one Test
Take Profit Trader runs a single account billed as a monthly subscription. The promo code NOFEE30 is always available and gives 30% off the monthly plus $0 activation when you pass. Without the code you pay the list monthly price plus a one-time $130 activation fee. Either way the rules, targets, drawdown and contracts are identical.
The Test is fast, the rules are clear
There is a 5-trading-day minimum and no time limit — hit the profit target while keeping your best single day under 50% of total profit, without touching the trailing Maximum Trailing Drawdown. A Test reset costs the same as your monthly fee. Once funded you withdraw from day one after clearing the buffer: 80/20 in PRO and 90/10 in PRO+, with no minimum, no caps and no payout windows. Funds are paid via Plaid (US bank), Wise (international/LLC) or PayPal.
Where Take Profit Trader isn't perfect
It is strictly day-trading only — every position must be flat by 4:00 PM ET, with no overnight or weekend holds. The Maximum Trailing Drawdown is monitored in real time on both realized and unrealized P&L, so a single deep intraday spike can end an account. And while the platform list is broad (NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Quantower and more), advancement to PRO+ is milestone-based — Take Profit Trader reported a Test pass rate of about 36% in 2025, and the public Trustpilot score sits around 4.4/5.
It is strictly day-trading only — every position must be flat by 4:00 PM ET, with no overnight or weekend holds. On a PRO account the Maximum Trailing Drawdown is monitored intraday on both realized and unrealized P&L, so a single deep spike can end an account. Trading is manual-only — no bots, algos or copiers — and news trading is restricted on PRO. Reaching the live-capital PRO+ stage takes consistent, risk-disciplined performance, so treat PRO+ as a goal rather than a guarantee.
What you need to know
Four key rules that govern how eligibility works in practice.
What account products does Take Profit Trader offer?
One evaluation — the Test — at five sizes ($25k, $50k, $75k, $100k, $150k), sold two ways. The Take Profit Trader Account is cheaper monthly but adds a one-time $130 activation fee when you pass; the 30% off + $0 activation is $0 to activate but higher monthly. Rules, targets, the trailing Maximum Trailing Drawdown and contract caps (5 / 10 / 15) are identical on both.
How does the Test → PRO → Funded path work?
Take Profit Trader uses three stages. You subscribe to a Test (the evaluation) and hit the profit target plus the 50%-best-day consistency objective over at least 5 trading days, without breaching the Maximum Trailing Drawdown — no time limit. You then activate a PRO account, a simulated-funded account where real payouts are earned from day one above the buffer (80/20 split). After consistent, risk-disciplined performance you are promoted to a live-capital PRO+ account (90/10 split, executed via Tradovate).
How and when does Take Profit Trader pay out?
On the PRO account you can withdraw from day one once you clear the buffer (starting balance + the max-drawdown amount + $100). There is no payout mode to choose, no minimum days, no caps and no payout windows. The split is 80/20 in PRO (90/10 in PRO+), requested on demand. Funds arrive via Plaid (US bank), Wise (international/LLC) or PayPal; withdrawals over $250 are free, $250 or less carries a $50 fee. The trailing drawdown stays locked at your starting balance.
How many accounts can I run at once?
You can run an unlimited number of active Tests (up to 20 new purchases per month) and hold up to 5 active PRO accounts at once. When you are invited to a PRO+ account, your PRO accounts are closed. Everything sits under a single NinjaTrader login.
Can I trade news, use bots, or hold overnight?
Take Profit Trader is manual-only — no bots, algorithms, EAs or trade copiers — and news trading is restricted on PRO (be flat around major releases such as FOMC, NFP and CPI). The other hard rule is no overnight or weekend holding: all positions must be flat by 4:00 PM ET, and weekends and holidays do not count as trading days.
How much does Take Profit Trader cost?
There is a single account, billed as a monthly subscription per size. The always-on promo code NOFEE30 gives 30% off the monthly plus $0 activation (e.g. 50K ~$119/mo). Without the code you pay the list monthly — 50K $170, 75K $245, 150K $360 — plus a one-time $130 activation fee when you pass.
What platforms and data feed does Take Profit Trader use?
Take Profit Trader supports 15+ platforms — including NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView and Quantower — across the CQG and Rithmic data feeds, all included with your account. You trade CME Group futures (CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT).
Is Take Profit Trader legit?
