Methods
PRO accounts use an 80/20 split where the trader keeps 80%. To withdraw at the standard PRO split, the account must first build profit equal to the maximum drawdown buffer. Profits inside the buffer can be withdrawn only when the PRO account is terminated, with the received buffer share depending on account age. PRO+ accounts are invitation-only live accounts with a 90/10 split, end-of-day drawdown, and no buffer requirement. Official TPT blog (17 Aug 2026) and homepage still state day-one and daily PRO/PRO+ payouts, no funded consistency rule, and no withdrawal caps.

Take Profit Trader is a Windermere, Florida futures prop firm (est. 2021) organized around a one-step Test account that leads to a PRO simulated funded account and, by invitation only, a PRO+ live-market upgrade.
The Test stage is futures-only and typically requires a size-based profit target without breaching max loss, three minimum trading days for new Test accounts purchased on or after August 17, 2026 (existing tests and resets stay on five days), no fixed daily loss limit during Test, and a 50% consistency rule that applies to the Test only. Catalog sizing runs $25K through $150K: examples include $25K at $1,500 target / $1,500 drawdown / 3 contracts, $50K at $3,000 / $2,000 / 6 contracts, $100K at $6,000 / $3,000 / 12 contracts, and $150K at $9,000 / $4,500 / 15 contracts.
Monthly Test fees in the seed catalog scale roughly $150–$360 by size, with a one-time PRO activation-style fee commonly listed around $130 and reset fees around $100. The product’s defining mechanic is the PRO buffer: standard 80/20 withdrawals are gated until the account balance reaches starting equity plus the max-drawdown cushion (catalog buffer balances include $26,500 on $25K, $52,000 on $50K, $77,500 on $75K, $103,000 on $100K, and $154,500 on $150K).
Marketing about day-one PRO withdrawals is directionally true inside policy — you may request early — but cash at the standard split is a buffer-and-eligibility problem, not a pass-day party. PRO+ is marketed as a live path with a 90/10 split, end-of-day drawdown framing, and no buffer, offered by invitation after consistent PRO performance rather than as a purchasable SKU.
Platform breadth is a real differentiator: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, R Trader, Quantower, MotiveWave, MultiCharts, and Sierra Chart appear in catalog lists, with CQG or Rithmic data feeds and PRO+ live often discussed via Tradovate-style routing. Payout methods commonly include Plaid, ACH, PayPal, and Wise with business-day processing language after approval.
Trading hours follow standard US futures session breaks; weekend holding is not allowed in catalog rules.
Futures traders who want a single evaluation stage instead of multi-step combines, need multi-platform support beyond a single stack, and will pre-model buffer timelines before paying fees.
Traders who need first lifestyle cash the day after a pass with no buffer grind, shoppers who refuse any activation fee (compare $0-activation catalogs such as MyFundedFutures), or beginners who have never practiced under a consistency rule.
Excellent platform menu and a clean Test→PRO story, offset by buffer literacy requirements, Test consistency, activation cost on the PRO path, and PRO+ scarcity. Stack against Topstep for combine brand gravity, Apex for promo-driven attempt economics, MyFundedFutures for multi-plan $0 activation shopping, and Tradeify for alternate multi-path packaging. Always confirm buffer math, activation fees, and payout methods on Take Profit Trader’s official help center the day you purchase — PropFirmElite tables are research snapshots, not contracts. Research workflow on PropFirmElite: open the Take Profit Trader firm page, select a Test size, write the PRO buffer balance next to the monthly fee and activation fee, and model calendar days to buffer under conservative daily net assumptions before checkout. Confirm your platform is on the supported list and that you can trade your edge inside session break rules without weekend holds. Use the Topstep vs Take Profit Trader comparison when you are choosing between combine culture and a one-step Test, and use the payouts guide when you are really shopping withdrawal lifestyle rather than evaluation theater. TPT is rarely the wrong firm because of platform support; it is often the wrong firm when the trader never models the buffer and treats day-one marketing as day-one lifestyle cash. Re-verify invitation language for PRO+ and any published account caps (for example, up to five PRO accounts) in official docs when scaling.
Based on the structured rules and product flags we track, Take Profit Trader tends to fit traders who prefer a one-step evaluation path; futures-focused traders. Compare profit targets, max loss, and payout frequency against your strategy before paying an evaluation fee.
