Take Profit Trader

8.5/ 10

A trader-friendly one-step futures firm: Test → funded PRO (withdraw from day one, daily, 80/20) → optional PRO+ (live, 90/10, no buffer). No consistency rule once funded — but the trailing drawdown that FLIPS from end-of-day to intraday on the PRO account is the trap that blows most accounts.

The FundedWiki verdict

8.5/10

Genuine day-one daily withdrawals and no consistency rule once funded — but the EOD trailing drawdown that becomes INTRADAY on the PRO account is what blows most accounts in week one of funding.

Pros

  • One-step eval, and NO consistency rule on the funded PRO/PRO+ account
  • Withdraw profits from day one, daily, with zero minimum profitable days and no cap
  • PRO+ upgrade (after $10k cumulative PRO profit) → 90/10 split and no buffer
  • No daily loss limit; scalping and automated trading both permitted

Watch out

  • The Test→PRO switch from EOD to INTRADAY trailing blows up many newly-funded traders
  • Hard flat-by-5pm-ET rule — no overnight or weekend holding (not for swing traders)
  • 'Withdraw day one' is gated by a buffer (account size + drawdown) until you reach PRO+

Best for: Active futures scalpers/intraday traders who want fast, frequent payouts and can respect a tight trailing drawdown — not swing traders who need overnight holds.

Bottom line: Great payout terms and a clean one-step path; just survive the EOD→intraday trailing switch when you get funded.

The rules, one by one

DrawdownConditionalVoids accountVerified

Trailing drawdown — EOD (Test) flips to intraday (PRO)

On the Test eval the trailing max-loss is computed on END-OF-DAY balance (5 PM ET), so intraday swings are safe. The moment you're funded on PRO it trails INTRADAY on unrealized highs — a spike you don't bank still ratchets the floor up. PRO+ returns to EOD. The floor locks once it reaches your original starting balance.

Gotcha: The Test→PRO switch from EOD to intraday trailing is the single biggest account-killer — traders who pass on EOD often blow up in week one of PRO because giving back unrealized profit now counts against the floor.

DrawdownAllowedSoft / informationalVerified

Daily loss limit

There is no daily loss limit on Test, PRO or PRO+ (a previous per-size daily limit was removed). The trailing max drawdown is the only loss constraint.

Gotcha: 'No daily limit' lulls traders into oversizing — the trailing floor still ends the account instantly if touched.

Profit targetConditionalSoft / informationalVerified

Profit target (Test only)

6% of the account: $1,500 / $3,000 / $4,500 / $6,000 / $9,000 for 25K/50K/75K/100K/150K. There is no target on PRO/PRO+ — you just trade and withdraw.

Gotcha: The target must be met while also satisfying the 50% consistency rule, or the pass doesn't count.

ConsistencyConditionalWarningVerified

50% consistency (Test only)

During the eval, no single day's profit may be 50% or more of your total net profit at the time you hit the target. It's removed entirely on PRO and PRO+.

Gotcha: It's checked at the moment you'd pass, so one oversized green day forces you to keep grinding extra days even though you 'hit' the number. Once funded, the rule disappears.

Max lot sizeConditionalVoids accountVerified

Contract limits

3/6/9/12/15 mini contracts (and 30/60/90/120/150 micros) for 25K/50K/75K/100K/150K. Micros count toward the cap at 10:1.

Gotcha: Exceeding the cap even by one contract is an immediate breach — mixing minis and micros can silently push you over (1 mini = 10 micros).

Min trading daysConditionalSoft / informationalVerified

Minimum trading days

Test requires at least 5 trading days (a day = ≥1 trade). On the funded account there is NO minimum-days gate before your first withdrawal — payouts start day one.

Overnight holdingForbiddenVoids accountVerified

Flat by 5 PM ET — no overnight/weekend

All positions and orders must be closed by 5:00 PM ET, Monday–Friday. Nothing carries overnight or over the weekend — TPT is strictly intraday-flat.

Gotcha: 5 PM ET is also the anchor for the EOD trailing calc; positions left open near the close risk both a holding violation and an unfavorable EOD drawdown mark.

News tradingConditionalPayout deniedVerified

News trading (PRO/PRO+)

On PRO and PRO+ you must be flat — no positions and no orders — 1 minute before, during, and 1 minute after FOMC, Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) and CPI. There is no news restriction on Test accounts.

Gotcha: Open ORDERS count, not just positions — a resting limit order during the blackout is a violation. And it only applies once funded, so habits formed on the eval can trip you.

Copy tradingConditionalVoids accountVerified

Copy trading & coordination

You may copy trade across up to 5 PRO accounts you personally own and control. Coordinated trading with other people, shared-signal schemes, and counter-positions across accounts are prohibited and cause immediate closure + payout forfeiture.

Gotcha: Counter-positions (long in one account, short the same/correlated product in another) are treated as risk-gaming and trigger instant closure, not a warning.

PayoutsConditionalPayout deniedVerified

Payouts, split & buffer

PRO pays 80/20, withdraw from day one daily with no cap, but only ABOVE the buffer (account size + max drawdown — e.g. a $50k must reach ~$52k first). After $10,000 cumulative PRO profit you can upgrade to PRO+ (90/10, no buffer) and withdraw every dollar daily.

Gotcha: The 'withdraw day one' headline is gated by the buffer on PRO — you can't pull money until balance exceeds account size + drawdown. The buffer only disappears on PRO+.
