This Take Profit Trader review looks at an Orlando, Florida futures prop firm launched in 2021 that is best known for letting funded traders request withdrawals from the first day on a PRO account. Our verdict: Take Profit Trader (often shortened to TPT) is a solid option for futures day traders who want simple evaluation rules and no daily loss limit, but the monthly Test fee, the activation fee and the buffer that must be built before profits are freely withdrawable are real costs. Most traders do not pass, so budget for the fee as an expense.
Only part of the official help centre could be opened for this check, so some figures come from 2026 directory pages and are flagged; confirm them on takeprofittrader.com.

Trading rules
- Drawdown: end-of-day trailing in the Test; reported as intraday trailing on PRO accounts, which is stricter.
- Daily loss limit: none reported in the Test.
- Consistency: the help centre says your best day must be under 50% of total profit to move to PRO.
- Minimum days: the help centre article we opened says five trading days; 2026 directory pages say this was cut to three. Check the current figure.
- News trading: reported as allowed in the Test, but funded accounts must be flat around major releases such as FOMC, NFP and CPI.
- Overnight and weekend holding: not allowed; positions must be flat by 4:55 PM ET, and some account types are auto-closed at that time.
- Automation: bots and fully automated trading are reported as prohibited; hedging across accounts leads to a ban.
Profit split, payouts and scaling
According to the help centre, PRO accounts pay an 80/20 split in the trader’s favour. Review sites describe an invitation-based PRO+ tier with a 90% split, end-of-day drawdown and free exchange data. The headline feature is on-demand withdrawals, but there is a catch: a buffer equal to the account’s maximum drawdown must be built first. You may withdraw from inside the buffer, but that ends the account, and you keep only 50% of the buffer if the account is under 60 days old, or 80% after 60 days. Payout methods reported by directories include PayPal, US bank transfer via Plaid and Wise, with a $50 fee on small withdrawals. There is no classic scaling plan; traders can run several PRO accounts (up to five reported) and copy trades between them.
Platforms and instruments
Accounts connect through Rithmic or Tradovate, which opens a wide platform choice: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Quantower, R|Trader Pro, ATAS, Bookmap, Sierra Chart, MotiveWave and MultiCharts are listed. Instruments are CME Group futures across indices, energy, metals, rates and currencies. Commissions apply per round turn.
Company, trust and payout record
Take Profit Trader is a private US company, not a regulated broker, and trades are simulated. We did not find the legal entity name on the pages we could open. Directory pages name James Sixsmith as CEO, cite a company claim of more than 90,000 active traders, and report a Trustpilot score around 4.4 from over 11,000 reviews in late October 2026. We found no reports of the firm stopping payouts or facing regulatory action. Like most futures prop firms, it has changed rules over time, including the minimum-day requirement and automatic position closing in 2026, so this Take Profit Trader review treats every number as subject to change.
Who it suits
- Futures day traders who want no daily loss limit in the evaluation.
- Traders who value fast access to profits once the buffer is built.
- Users of NinjaTrader, Tradovate or other Rithmic-compatible platforms.
It suits news traders, swing traders and anyone relying on bots less well.
Take Profit Trader review: final verdict
Our Take Profit Trader review lands on a positive but measured view. The rules in the Test are simple and the payout record appears clean, but monthly fees, the activation fee, the intraday trailing drawdown on PRO and the buffer mechanics add friction. Read the help centre carefully, start with a size you can afford, and remember that most evaluation buyers never get paid.
