Minimum trading requirement to complete the evaluation is set at 3 active trading days.
Live chat support runs from 4:00 PM EST on Sunday to 4:30 PM EST on Friday, per the firm's Help Center.

One-time activation fee of $130 applies before moving into a funded PRO account.

Cost of entry

Take Profit Trader pricing

Account Size	Monthly Subscription	Profit Target	Max Position	Max Trailing Drawdown
$25,000	$150	$1,500	3 Contracts	$1,500
$50,000	$170	$3,000	6 Contracts	$2,000
$75,000	$245	$4,500	9 Contracts	$2,500
$100,000	$330	$6,000	12 Contracts	$3,000
$150,000	$360	$9,000	15 Contracts	$4,500

This Take Profit Trader review lists the monthly price of each evaluation account: $150 for 25K, $170 for 50K, $245 for 75K, $330 for 100K and $360 for 150K. Each plan runs for 30 days and renews until you pass or cancel, so three billing cycles on the $50,000 account cost $510 before qualification. Moving into a funded PRO account requires a one-time activation fee of $130, and the firm has run promotions that waive it, so check its website for current terms. If an evaluation account is breached, resets cost between $79 and $199 depending on size.

Rule clarity

Take Profit Trader rules

Score90 / 100

Take Profit Trader uses a one-step evaluation where you must reach a profit target without breaching an end-of-day trailing drawdown. On the 25K account, the profit target is $1,500 (6%), and the minimum balance is $23,500, which trails your highest closing balance at 5:00 PM Eastern. The drawdown locks once it reaches the initial $25,000 balance, so later gains build a permanent buffer. A breach of the minimum balance liquidates the account, and the 50% consistency rule raises your profit requirement if one session produces an outsized gain. Take Profit Trader sets a maximum position size by account size, from 3 contracts on the $25,000 account to 15 contracts on the $150,000 account. The limits are 6 contracts on the $50,000 account, 9 on $75,000 and 12 on $100,000. This Take Profit Trader review uses the firm's published figures, so check the website for the current limits before you buy.

What a locking trailing drawdown means for you

The limit trails your equity up to a target, then freezes at the starting balance. You get the tighter trailing rule early, but once you clear the target the floor stops chasing you and behaves like a static drawdown.

What changes once you are funded

Once you move to a funded PRO account, the consistency rule no longer applies, but three new conditions take effect. The drawdown now follows your balance in real time, including open profits, instead of updating once at the end of the day. You must complete at least one trade (a buy and a sell) on one day each calendar week, or the firm can close your account for inactivity. You must also close all positions and cancel pending orders one minute before major US news releases, such as FOMC announcements, jobs reports (NFP) and inflation reports (CPI), and stay out until one minute after.

Payout reliability

Take Profit Trader payouts

Score100 / 100

PRO accounts pay an 80% profit split from day one, with no fixed payout window. The PRO+ tier pays 90%. Withdrawals unlock once account equity crosses the buffer, which equals your maximum drawdown: on a $25,000 PRO account the buffer is $1,500, so withdrawals unlock once equity crosses $26,500. Profits above this threshold can move to your wallet on day one, which avoids the two-week or monthly holding cycles typical of competing futures firms.

US bank accounts connect through Plaid. Traders without a US bank account can use Wise or PayPal. Withdrawals of $250 or less incur a $50 fee, and larger withdrawals are free, so accumulating profits before you request a payout can save the fee. This Take Profit Trader review lists these payout terms from the firm’s help pages.

Profit split: 80%
Payout cycle: On demand
Reported payout speed: 1-2 business days
Withdrawal fee: $50 fee on withdrawals of $250 or less; free above $250
Minimum withdrawal: No minimum stated
Payout methods: Wise, PayPal, Plaid

Customer support

Score95 / 100

Take Profit Trader delivers customer service through a live chat widget on its homepage and a help desk. The firm's Help Center states that live chat runs from 4:00 PM EST on Sunday to 4:30 PM EST on Friday, and the firm asks traders to email support@takeprofittrader.com outside those hours. This Take Profit Trader review uses the Help Center hours, which are more specific than the homepage's "24 hours/Day". Review platforms report that live chat agents reply within minutes during market hours, and that the risk team answers billing disputes and compliance questions by email, usually in under a day.

Channels: Live chat, Email, Ticket system

Track record

Track record and transparency

Score100 / 100

Take Profit Trader has run continuously in retail futures while refining its evaluation. Over time, it simplified the evaluation by eliminating daily loss limits and reducing the minimum trading duration from 5 days to 3. Its PRO withdrawal rules also set out how the buffer is paid out when an account is closed.

Community sentiment

Score85 / 100

Public sentiment reflects a Trustpilot rating of 4.4 from 10,962 reviews as of October 2026. The most consistent praise centers on swift payout processing through the firm’s wallet system, with traders confirming transfers within 24 hours. Conversely, recurring critical feedback highlights frustration with the transition from end-of-day drawdown to intraday trailing in funded PRO accounts.

Decision

Final verdict

Take Profit Trader offers a flexible payout structure, with on-demand withdrawals and no daily loss limit during the evaluation. It suits intraday futures traders who want fast access to profit and can pass the challenge in a single billing cycle, because the monthly subscription adds cost for slower evaluators. In summary, the firm charges $150 to $360 per month by account size, plus a one-time $130 activation fee. It sets a 6% profit target with a 50% consistency rule and pays an 80% profit split once you reach the buffer, with 90% on PRO+.

Before you pay

Many prop firms operate without a financial services license. They argue that traders use simulated accounts and the firm risks its own capital, so no client money is held and no license is required. That arrangement is common in this industry, but it also means no regulator supervises the firm and there is no compensation scheme if it stops paying. What matters instead is whether the company behind the brand is named and traceable, and whether it has a payout record you can check.

This page is for information only and is not investment or trading advice. Trading through a funded or proprietary trading program carries real risk, including the loss of evaluation fees and any funded account. Rules, pricing, and payout terms vary by firm and can change without notice. A Proptary Grade reflects our most recent check and may not capture very recent changes, so confirm current terms directly with the firm before buying an evaluation.

Nothing here is advice. Our grades, scores and write-ups are information only. They are not investment or trading advice, not a recommendation to buy an evaluation, and not tailored to your circumstances. Read the firm’s own terms and decide for yourself.

A grade is not a guarantee. A Proptary Grade summarises the evidence we were able to verify on the date shown. It is not a measure of the firm’s financial strength, not a promise that it will pay you, and not an assurance that it will still be operating next month. Payout records, review scores and support times we cite are historical evidence, never a forecast.

The fee is at risk from the moment you pay it. An evaluation buys an attempt, not an account. Most traders do not pass. Breaching a drawdown or consistency rule can cost you the entire fee and any funded account, with no refund.

Prices and rules change without notice. Firms change fees, rules and payout terms, sometimes days after we check. Confirm the current terms on the firm’s own site before you pay for anything. Proptary is not liable for losses arising from reliance on information published here.
