Take Profit Trader has three stages: the test, the PRO account and the invite-only PRO+ live account. The test has no daily loss limit and only six rules. Once you're PRO you can withdraw from day one, as long as your balance is above the buffer zone.
The 6 Take Profit Trader test rules
- Hit the profit target for your account size.
- Stay within max position size.
- Don't hit the end-of-day trailing drawdown.
- Trade approved products during approved hours: CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX futures, 6 PM to 5 PM ET. Positions close automatically at 4:55 PM ET, so no overnight holds.
- Be consistent: at least 3 trading days, and your best day must stay under 50% of your total profit.
- No counter positions (no hedging long and short at the same time).
| Account | Profit target | EOD drawdown | Max size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,500 | $1,500 | 3 minis |
| 50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | 6 minis |
| 75K | $4,500 | $2,500 | 9 minis |
| 100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | 12 minis |
| 150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | 15 minis |
There's no daily loss limit and no activation fee. The test is billed monthly.
How the consistency rule works
If your best day is 50% or more of your profit, you don't fail. Your target simply moves to more than twice your best day. Example: on a 50K, a $2,000 best day means you need more than $4,000 total profit to pass.
PRO account rules
- Drawdown: intraday trailing, and it stops trailing at your starting balance.
- News: be flat one minute before and one minute after FOMC (Wednesdays at 2 PM ET), NFP and CPI releases.
- Activity: trade at least one day per calendar week.
- Not allowed: bots or algos, counter positions, or holding into limit up or limit down.
Take Profit Trader withdrawal rules
- Split: 80/20 on PRO.
- When: from day one, once your balance is above the buffer zone.
- Methods: Plaid (US), Routable, PayPal or Wise.
- On closing: 50% of the buffer can be withdrawn after the account closes.
