Take Profit Trader Review
Evaluation rules, drawdown model, funding paths (PRO & PRO+), and what traders should know.
Evaluation Rules
To pass, reach the profit target for your chosen account size without violating any rules.
Account Parameters
| Account Size | Max Contracts | Profit Target |
|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | 3 Contracts | $1,500 |
| $50,000 | 6 Contracts | $3,000 |
| $75,000 | 9 Contracts | $4,500 |
| $100,000 | 12 Contracts | $6,000 |
| $150,000 | 15 Contracts | $9,000 |
EOD Trailing Drawdown
During evaluation, the drawdown updates once daily from the end-of-day balance. This is more forgiving as it ignores intraday unrealized profits. Hitting the DD level fails the evaluation.
| Account Size | EOD Trailing DD |
|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,500 |
| $50,000 | $2,000 |
| $75,000 | $2,500 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $4,500 |
Consistency (Evaluation Only)
You must meet two conditions to prove consistency:
- Minimum Days: Trade on at least 5 separate days.
- 50% Profit Rule: Your highest single-day profit cannot exceed 50% of your total profit.
Position Size Limits
Each account has a fixed max contract size. Micros offer more flexibility.
- Standard Contracts: Adhere to the max position size listed for your account.
- Micro Contracts: Trade up to 10x the standard contract limit (e.g., a 6-lot account can trade 60 Micros).
Instruments & Hours
Approved Products
Most CME, CBOT, NYMEX & COMEX futures are permitted (ES, NQ, CL, GC, etc.).
Trading Hours
- Window: 6:00 PM – 5:00 PM ET (next day).
- Cutoff: You must be flat by 5:00 PM ET or the evaluation fails.
Funded Account Rules (PRO & PRO+)
Once funded, the consistency rule is removed, but other conditions apply.
- Drawdown: Switches to an intraday trailing drawdown.
- Weekly Activity: You must place at least one trade per calendar week.
- News Trading: Be flat 1 minute before/during/after major news events.
PRO+ Account Details
The PRO+ is a live account with direct market execution and a 90/10 profit split. There is no profit buffer to build; you can request a withdrawal from day one.
TPT covers CME data fees, but a $135/mo fee applies for trading on additional exchanges.
Multiple Accounts & Copy Trading
You may have up to 5 active PRO/PRO+ accounts. However, each account must be managed individually, as automated copy trading between accounts is not permitted.
PRO Account Reset
If you violate a rule on a PRO account, you can pay a fee to reset it without re-evaluating. Reset fees range from $449 to $1,499 depending on account size.
