Take Profit Trader

On Test and PRO accounts, Take Profit Trader charges a flat commission of $5 per round trip per contract. Micro futures are charged at $0.50 per micro contract. PRO+ accounts may incur standard exchange and broker fees depending on the platform (e.g. Tradovate, NinjaTrader).

This cost structure is competitive compared to other futures prop firms, making TPT a strong choice for active day traders.

During the evaluation phase, all accounts use an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown. Once you pass and move into a PRO account, the drawdown is calculated intraday, which includes unrealized gains.

This means your account balance is tracked live during the trading day, not just at the market close. To fully understand how this works, see our guide: Unrealized Trailing Drawdown Explained.

PRO+ accounts return to using EOD trailing drawdown, which is far more trader-friendly and offers more flexibility.

Payouts are available from day one on both PRO and PRO+ accounts. There is no minimum payout requirement, no waiting period, and no payout windows. If you are profitable, you can withdraw your funds immediately.

While PRO accounts are technically simulated, profits are real and funded through Take Profit Trader’s pool of evaluation fees and revenue. PRO+ accounts are live with funds routed directly to the exchange.

All positions must be closed before 5:00 PM Eastern. If you leave trades open, you risk violating account rules. Unlike some firms, TPT does not guarantee auto-liquidation of positions at EOD, and failing to exit can result in account failure.

Always manually flatten positions before the daily close to stay compliant.

No. Take Profit Trader strictly prohibits holding opposite positions (long vs. short) in the same product across accounts, including minis and micros. Violating this rule can result in liquidation and denial of payouts.

You can trade up to five active PRO or PRO+ accounts simultaneously, but each must follow the rules independently.

You must trade for a minimum of 5 trading days to qualify for funding. There is no fixed maximum duration; however, if your evaluation extends beyond 30 days, you may need to pay a renewal fee to keep your subscription active.

This flexible model lets traders progress at their own pace without the strict timelines other prop firms impose.

According to Take Profit Trader’s official statistics, between January and August 2023, approximately 20.37% of traders passed the evaluation and advanced to PRO accounts. This is higher than many competing futures prop firms, where pass rates are often below 10%.

Take Profit Trader supports most CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX products. You can also trade micro futures, with position sizing up to 10× the standard contract limit.

Supported platforms include Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and others. Keep in mind, platform selection may influence data fees and execution costs.

Yes. Take Profit Trader is a U.S.-based prop firm founded in 2021 by James Sixsmith. It has a 4.4/5 Trustpilot rating and pays out traders daily. PRO accounts are simulated but pay real profits, while PRO+ accounts are fully live with funds routed directly to the exchange.

Like any prop firm, strict rules apply, so always read your contract carefully before trading.

No. Take Profit Trader removed the daily loss limit, making it one of the most trader-friendly futures prop firms. Instead, risk is managed through an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown.

This means:

• ✅ No more forced mid-day auto liquidations
• ✅ More breathing room for trades to play out
• ✅ Rules that better align with professional risk practices

You can purchase and trade as many evaluation accounts as you like. Once you pass, you are not charged a monthly subscription on that evaluation anymore.

For funded accounts, Take Profit Trader allows a maximum of 5 active funded accounts at one time (PRO or PRO+). Additionally, you may hold up to 10 funded accounts in a single month. The monthly limit is calculated from the day you lose a PRO account.

This setup gives traders flexibility to scale, run multiple strategies, or manage backup accounts, while keeping risk management consistent with the firm’s rules.

Take Profit Trader is a futures prop firm, so leverage isn’t expressed in fixed ratios like 1:50 or 1:100 (as in forex). Instead, leverage depends on the margin requirements of futures contracts and the maximum contracts allowed per account size.

For example:

• 📈 A $25K account allows up to 3 mini contracts (e.g., ES, NQ)
• 📈 A $50K account allows up to 6 mini contracts
• 📈 A $100K account allows up to 12 mini contracts

You can also trade micro contracts (MES, MNQ, etc.), where the position size is 1/10th of a mini. At Take Profit Trader, you are allowed up to 10x the mini contract limit in micros. For example, a $50K account can trade 6 minis or up to 60 micros.

This structure gives traders access to substantial buying power while keeping risk managed through the end-of-day trailing drawdown and profit target rules. In short, leverage is built into futures contracts and account limits, not defined by a static ratio. For full details, see the Take Profit Trader account rules table.
