Take Profit Trader 
US Firm Overview
Take Profit Trader has earned a reputation as one of the most trader-friendly prop firms in the futures space, consistently ranking among the most recommended firms in trading communities worldwide. Founded in 2019 and based in the United States, the firm has built its brand around transparency, fast payouts, and a streamlined one-step evaluation process that removes unnecessary complexity. With a 4.4-star rating on Trustpilot from over 1,250 verified reviews, Take Profit Trader has proven that simplicity and reliability can coexist in the prop trading world.
What truly differentiates Take Profit Trader from competitors is their dual-account system: PRO and PRO+ accounts. While PRO accounts operate in a simulated environment with an 80/20 profit split, PRO+ accounts are live market accounts where trades are routed directly to the exchange, offering a 90/10 profit split with no buffer zone. This progression path gives traders a clear roadmap from evaluation to real capital — something very few prop firms can offer.
The firm operates through NinjaTrader Brokerage and supports both NinjaTrader and Tradovate platforms. Payments are accepted via Credit/Debit Card, Crypto, and PayPal, while payouts are processed through Plaid (US bank accounts), Wise, and PayPal.
Instruments and Assets
Take Profit Trader focuses exclusively on futures trading, allowing them to offer deep liquidity and consistently fast execution. Traders can access all major CME Group futures contracts, including equity indices (ES, NQ), energy (CL, NG), metals (GC, SI), currencies (6E, 6B), and interest rates (ZB, ZN). All micro contracts are available, making precise position sizing easy during evaluations.
Leverage
Standard futures leverage at 1:10 applies across all contracts. Contract limits scale with account size — for example, a $50,000 account allows up to 6 minis or 60 micros, while a $150,000 account allows 15 minis or 150 micros.
Commissions
Commissions are competitive at approximately $3.70 round-turn per contract (including exchange fees), which is standard for the NinjaTrader Brokerage ecosystem. There are no hidden fees, and data fees are included in the evaluation subscription.
Consistency Rules
Take Profit Trader enforces a 50% consistency rule during the evaluation phase — your best trading day’s profit cannot exceed 50% of the total profit target. However, once you pass and trade a PRO or PRO+ account, the consistency rule is completely removed, giving funded traders full freedom in their approach.
Firm Rules
- One-step evaluation — no second phase required
- Minimum 5 trading days to pass evaluation
- End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown — calculated at end of each day, not intraday
- No daily loss limit during evaluation
- Up to 5 simultaneous PRO/PRO+ accounts
- News trading restricted on funded accounts (1 min before/during/after Tier 1 events)
- Positions must be closed by session end (5:00 PM EST)
- EAs and trading bots are generally not permitted
- No counter positions allowed in same or related products

Payout Policy
Take Profit Trader’s payout system is among the fastest in the industry, with withdrawals typically processed daily and funds arriving within hours.
- PRO accounts: 80/20 profit split. A buffer zone equal to the max drawdown must be exceeded before unrestricted withdrawals. Before 60 trading days, 50% of buffer profit is returned; after 60 days, 80%.
- PRO+ accounts: 90/10 profit split. No buffer zone — all earned profits are immediately withdrawable. Trades go to the live exchange.
- Minimum payout: $250
- No maximum withdrawal caps
- Withdrawals via Plaid, Wise, and PayPal
- Processing: typically same-day or within hours
The pathway from PRO to PRO+ is earned by consistently withdrawing significant profits from your PRO account or achieving a $10,000 single-day profit, at which point you qualify for live market trading with real capital.
