Take Profit Trader is a futures prop firm. Its Terms of Service name the operator as TakeProfitTrader LLC, with an address in Windermere, Florida. It describes itself as a one-step funding company. Traders pay a monthly subscription for a Trading Test. After passing they move to a PRO account, which is simulated but pays real money, and can later upgrade to PRO+, a live-market account. PRO pays an 80/20 profit split and PRO+ pays 90/10. Withdrawals from a PRO account are allowed from its first day, on profits above a buffer.
Only futures listed on CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT can be traded. The firm says it does not support stocks, options, forex, cryptocurrencies or CFDs. Accounts connect through a CQG or Rithmic data feed, and the help centre has set-up guides for TradingView, NinjaTrader 8, Quantower, Bookmap and MultiCharts.
The firm publishes its own pass rate: it says 36.22% of all Trading Tests taken between 1 January and 31 December 2025 were passed. We could not capture the firm's price list or the detailed test-rule pages, so this review does not give account prices, profit targets or drawdown amounts.
Everything in this review comes from Take Profit Trader's own web pages, saved on 7–8 October 2026. Rules and prices change, so check the firm's site before you buy.

Take Profit Trader has three stages: the Test (the evaluation), the PRO account and the PRO+ account. The firm's own summary table compares them:
| Stage | Environment | Withdrawals | Profit split |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test | Simulated | None | None |
| PRO | Simulated | From day one | 80/20 |
| PRO+ | Live market | From day one | 90/10 |
Test subscription. The Test is sold as a monthly subscription. The firm's promotion FAQs say the subscription keeps billing each month while you are in the test and stops as soon as you pass. The FAQs use a $50K test as an example, so $50K is one of the sizes sold. We could not capture the price list or the full range of account sizes, so we do not quote prices here. The home page does not list test prices. One home-page FAQ answer, which also quotes 2023 pass-rate figures, says a failed test "can cost, at MOST, $360, but oftentimes much less than that"; reset pricing has changed since 16 May, so this figure may be out of date.
PRO activation fee. Moving from the Test to a PRO account costs a one-time $130 activation fee. The firm says there are no ongoing monthly fees once you are in PRO.
Promotions. The firm's help centre lists several promotion codes that discount the test subscription and waive the $130 activation fee on that account. Two of them were limited-time sales with stated end dates (25 August and 26 May). With these promotions the fee is not simply removed: you receive a $130 PRO activation credit after passing. If you pass on a Friday, the credit is issued on the next business day (Monday), not over the weekend. Test accounts bought with credits are not eligible for promotions.
Resets. A failed test can be continued by requesting a reset. The firm says that from 16 May test reset prices are "risk-adjusted and aligned to each account size"; we did not capture the reset price list. The home page says PRO accounts allow up to three resets, but does not give a price.
Refunds. The Terms of Service allow a refund within 72 hours if you change your mind, but not on accounts that have been used or traded. The refund is the amount paid minus a $75 fee.
The help centre lists six core test rules:
Our saved copy shows only the rule titles, not the figures behind them, so we cannot give the profit target, position limits, drawdown amounts or the consistency percentage for each account size.
Minimum days. The firm changed the evaluation period from five days to three. This applies to test accounts bought from 17 August onwards; existing tests, and resets of those tests, keep the five-day period. The FAQs for two earlier promotions still say "as little as 5 days"; we use the newer three-day figure, which the home page also shows.
Time limit. The firm's promotion FAQs say there is no time limit to pass the test.
Tracking. The dashboard's "How Am I Doing?" section shows trading days, progress to the profit goal, the consistency rule and any rule breaks. A red mark means a rule was broken and the account has failed. Dashboard balances are not real-time; they update once a day between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM Eastern Time.
PRO accounts are simulated. Orders are not sent to the exchange but are handled by the firm's providers, Rithmic or Tradovate. Withdrawals are allowed on profits above a buffer. Our saved pages do not give the buffer amount or describe the PRO drawdown in detail.
PRO+ is a live-market account. Take Profit Trader says it uses Tradovate as its broker for PRO+, and that orders pass through the same risk rules as in the simulated stages but are sent to the exchange. PRO+ has end-of-day drawdown and no buffer requirement. The help centre has a PRO+ section with articles on the upgrade process and PRO+ rules, but we did not capture those articles, so we cannot say what is needed to qualify for PRO+.
Our saved pages say little about banned strategies. The test rules include a ban on counter positions and a requirement to trade only approved products during approved hours. The help centre also has articles titled Universal Trading Policies, Independent Trade Execution Policy, Trade Copier Policy and Rules for Multiple Accounts, but we did not capture their content.
Copy trading. The firm says you can copy trade across five funded accounts at once. Its Terms of Service make traders fully responsible for any trade copier or third-party automation tool, and say copied activity is treated as the trader's own execution.
Account limits. Each customer may register only one email address. You can hold up to five active PRO or PRO+ accounts at once; any more are queued. You can activate up to ten passed tests in any 30 rolling calendar days.
Restricted countries. Access from a restricted country is prohibited, including placing a trade or viewing market data. The firm says even one instance is a violation and the account will be restricted or blocked, and this includes access through VPNs, remote connections or shared networks.
We found nothing on the saved pages about expert advisers, news trading or holding positions overnight or over the weekend, so we do not cover them.
Profit split. PRO accounts pay 80/20 (you keep 80%). PRO+ accounts pay 90/10. The 90% split therefore depends on upgrading to PRO+.
When you can withdraw. The firm says you can withdraw from the first day of a PRO account. Its promotion FAQs list the payout policy as:
The limit is the buffer: withdrawals are unrestricted only on profits above it. PRO+ has the same day-one and daily payout policy with no buffer.
Payment methods and timing. Payouts are made through Plaid to US bank accounts, or through PayPal or Wise. The firm says they arrive "typically within one business day". The bank, PayPal or Wise account must belong to the registered trader; if the details do not match, the payout is delayed for manual review or denied. Payouts to an LLC must go through Wise, or PayPal if the LLC has its own PayPal account. The help centre also has an article on withdrawal fees that we did not capture.
Who pays. The firm says PRO payouts come from "a combination of collected test fees, tech fees, and shared PRO+ profits when applicable".
Scaling. The firm says there is no scaling plan on any account. Its home-page comparison table answers "No" to "Contract Limits: Test vs. PRO Account".
Markets. Futures listed on CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT. Stocks, options, forex, cryptocurrencies and CFDs are not supported.
Data feeds and platforms. You choose a CQG or a Rithmic data feed. The home page says there are "15+ available trading platforms". The help centre has connection guides for:
A CQG account is activated by logging in to Tradovate with the credentials shown in your dashboard and signing the market data agreement.
Support. The home page says live support is available 24 hours a day.
The help centre also has articles on payout speed, live-chat hours and "PRO+ Development" accounts that we did not capture; they may qualify the payout-timing, support and PRO+ details in this review.
Operator. According to its Terms of Service, the website is owned and operated by TakeProfitTrader LLC, 9100 Conroy Windermere Rd, Suite 200, Windermere, FL 34786, USA.
Regulation. The firm says it is not a broker. It says the NFA and CFTC do not require futures funding firms to be members of any organisation, and that it uses regulated brokers and CME-approved data providers (it names Tradovate, NinjaTrader and Rithmic). It says it does not act as counterparty to any trade.
Simulated accounts. Test and PRO accounts are simulated; PRO+ accounts are live. The firm says profits in PRO are simulated but the money paid out is real.
Countries. The firm publishes a list of restricted countries (shown in the table above) and says it may change. US bank accounts are supported for payouts through Plaid.
Terms. The Terms of Service are governed by Florida law. They include a class-action waiver and an agreement to individual arbitration, and a clause under which buyers waive the right to dispute payments for the firm's products. The firm can change the terms without notice.
Pass rates. The site gives two figures: 20.37% of currently registered users passed a test between 1 January and 31 August 2023, and 36.22% of all Trading Tests taken in 2025 were passed. They measure different things (users versus tests). The firm recommends the test mainly for traders with substantial experience.
Take Profit Trader is built for futures traders. It may suit someone who:
It does not fit traders who want forex, crypto, stocks or CFDs, or who live in one of the restricted countries. Because we could not capture the price list or the detailed test rules, check the profit target, drawdown, buffer and reset price for your account size on the firm's site before buying.
MyPropGenius Rating:
The rating measures how openly Take Profit Trader discloses its rules, pricing, payouts and ownership (our Transparency Index methodology). It does not measure how likely you are to pass or be paid.
The legal entity, a Florida address and Florida governing law are given, and the FAQ explains that test and PRO accounts are simulated, PRO+ is live through Tradovate, the firm is not a broker and NFA/CFTC membership is not required. The Terms have a 'Refund Policy' section with clear conditions: a refund within 72 hours if the account has not been used or traded, minus a stated $75 fee. The firm's pages offer only video testimonials and payout-speed claims; we found no payout records, totals, certificates or dated lists.
Its Transparency Index score is 47/100 (Mixed). We do not verify payouts or test accounts; this is what the firm’s own pages show.
Check the current rules and prices on the firm's own website before you buy.
We have no commercial relationship with Take Profit Trader. Links to its website are not affiliate links.
Take Profit Trader is a futures-only firm with a one-step Test, a simulated PRO account at 80/20 and a live PRO+ account at 90/10. Its main feature is its payout policy: withdrawals from the first day of PRO with no payout windows or minimum profitable days, limited by a buffer in PRO but not in PRO+. We could not confirm prices, profit targets or drawdown amounts from the pages we saved, so check those on the firm's site.
