TakeProfitTrader's three-phase account structure (Test → PRO → PRO+) is its defining feature, with PRO+ auto-promotion since March 18 2026 making the path to 90/10 profit-split fully automatic. NOFEE40 cuts Test fees 40% for life and waives the $130 PRO activation fee. Full pricing breakdown and phase comparison in my TakeProfitTrader accounts guide, or read the complete review.

A TakeProfitTrader reset fee is the charge to restart an evaluation or funded account from its original starting conditions after a drawdown breach or voluntary reset request. The cost differs sharply by phase. Test phase resets are a flat $100 regardless of account size. PRO phase resets are tiered from $399 to $1,499 depending on which of the five sizes you hold. PRO+ accounts have no reset option at all: a breach there closes the account permanently.
As of May 2026, these figures are confirmed from secondary sources including QuantVPS, Tradetanto, and propfirmmatch coverage of the TakeProfitTrader ruleset.
What is a reset fee at TakeProfitTrader?
A reset fee is the charge for restarting an account at its original parameters after a breach or after choosing to restart voluntarily. When you reset, the account balance returns to the starting value, the trailing drawdown returns to its original level, and you trade again as if the account were new. All prior gains and losses are wiped.
This is distinct from closing an account, letting a subscription lapse, or requesting a refund. A reset specifically keeps you inside the TakeProfitTrader system and gives you another shot at passing (Test) or continuing (PRO) without purchasing an entirely new account.
TakeProfitTrader allows resets on Test and PRO accounts. PRO+ has no reset mechanic. The fee structure, limits, and interaction with the NOFEE40 promo code are all documented in the help center and confirmed by the cluster of secondary coverage tracking this firm in 2026.
For the full picture of how resets fit inside the TakeProfitTrader account structure, the Test-PRO-PRO+ progression article covers all three phases in depth.
What is the Test phase reset fee?
The Test phase reset fee is $100 flat, regardless of which of the five account sizes you hold. A $25K Test resets for $100. A $150K Test resets for $100. The size has no bearing on price at this stage.
One built-in exception: monthly subscription renewal includes a free reset. If your Test subscription auto-renews for another month, that renewal carries one free reset. You are not required to pay a separate $100 on top of renewal in the same billing window. This makes the renewal-versus-reset decision relevant if you breach near the end of a billing cycle.
The practical read on $100 flat: for mid and large accounts, this is cheap insurance. Your remaining profit target on a $50K Test is $3,000. Your remaining target on a $150K Test is $9,000. A $100 reset to stay in play is a fraction of those targets. The math is tighter on the $25K ($1,500 target), but even there the reset cost represents only 6.7% of the target amount.
Where the $100 flat fee matters most is for traders with a high reset frequency. If you are consistently breaching and resetting, the cost compounds. Five resets on a $50K account adds $500 to your evaluation cost, which is equivalent to about 3 months of Test subscription. That pattern is worth examining as a strategy problem rather than a fee problem.

What is the PRO phase reset fee schedule?
PRO phase resets are tiered by account size. The fee schedule as of May 2026:
| Account Size | PRO Reset Fee | PRO Monthly Value at 80/20 to Break Even |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | $399 | ~$1,995 gross profit to cover reset at 80% |
| $50K | $649 | ~$3,245 gross profit to cover reset at 80% |
| $75K | $799 | ~$3,995 gross profit to cover reset at 80% |
| $100K | $999 | ~$4,995 gross profit to cover reset at 80% |
| $150K | $1,499 | ~$7,495 gross profit to cover reset at 80% |
The "break even" column shows the gross profit you would need to generate in the next PRO session to recoup the reset cost through the 80/20 split. This is not a reason to avoid resets automatically, but it frames the decision with actual numbers rather than gut feel.
Beyond cost, the more important constraint is the 3-reset limit per PRO account. Once you have used three PRO resets, the account is permanently closed regardless of trading history. There is no extension, no appeal, and no fourth reset. This limit does not apply per trader, it applies per account. A separate PRO account has its own 3-reset allowance.
The tiered PRO reset structure reflects that you are in the live funded phase where real capital is at stake. The higher fees relative to Test are partly a revenue consideration and partly a friction mechanic designed to make PRO resets a deliberate decision rather than a casual one.
For context on what actually causes PRO breaches, the intraday trailing drawdown explained article covers the mechanics in full. The short version: PRO trailing drawdown locks at the highest unrealized balance during any session, not just the closing balance. That is the dominant source of PRO account closures and the main complaint in Trustpilot and Reddit reviews.
Also relevant from the broader TakeProfitTrader rules overview: PRO has news-trading restrictions (flat 1 minute before and after FOMC, NFP, and CPI) and a minimum trading requirement of at least one day per calendar week. Violating either can create account status issues that interact with reset eligibility.
Are there resets on PRO+?
No. PRO+ accounts cannot be reset. A drawdown breach on PRO+ closes the account permanently. There is no reset fee to pay because there is no reset option to purchase. The account simply ends.
This is a meaningful distinction from PRO. PRO accounts get up to 3 resets. PRO+ gets zero. The tradeoff is the better conditions: 90/10 profit split versus 80/20, and the return of EOD trailing drawdown (which is more forgiving than the intraday trailing that applies on PRO).
The no-reset rule on PRO+ makes sense structurally. PRO+ is the most favorable phase TakeProfitTrader offers, with the highest split and the most forgiving drawdown mechanics. Allowing resets at that tier would undermine the risk model. If you breach PRO+, the path back is a new Test account and a new pass through PRO before another auto-promotion can happen.
PRO+ itself is fully automated since 2026-03-18. There is no application, no manual review you trigger, no fee. TPT promotes traders based on their own consistency and risk assessment. See the PRO vs PRO+ comparison for the full side-by-side.
When does a reset make financial sense?
The reset math depends on which phase you are in, which account size you hold, and how much drawdown room you have remaining.
Test phase ($100 flat): A reset almost always makes sense if you have meaningful trading left in the evaluation period and are close to a breach. The single exception might be the $25K account where you have repeatedly failed at the same style of trade and the breach pattern suggests the strategy, not a single bad session, is the problem. In that case, resetting without addressing the edge problem adds $100 without changing the outcome.
For multi-account Test runners, the $100 flat reset becomes even cheaper in relative terms. Paul has run TakeProfitTrader for ~3 years and withdrawn $20K+ across Test, PRO, and PRO+ accounts. The operational decision to reset or walk away at $100 is a different magnitude of choice from the PRO tier.
PRO phase ($399–$1,499 tiered): The decision requires actual edge math. Look at your average profitable months on PRO and calculate how many sessions it takes to recover the reset fee at your personal edge, not the theoretical maximum. If your typical PRO month at 80/20 produces $2,000 in trader profit on a $50K account, a $649 reset pays back in roughly one good month. If your typical month produces $400, you need over a year to recover a single reset on the same account.
The 3-reset hard limit also matters. Each PRO reset is a finite resource. Using a reset on a borderline-viable account means one fewer reset available if a high-confidence edge session goes wrong later.
PRO+: No decision to make. No resets available.
Refund vs reset — what's the difference?
These are frequently conflated but they are different mechanisms with different outcomes.
A reset restarts the account from original parameters. You stay inside TakeProfitTrader, you continue trading, and you still have a path to passing Test or continuing on PRO. The reset fee is the cost of that continuation.
A refund returns subscription or activation fees to the original payment method under specific eligibility conditions. Refunds apply when meaningful trading has not occurred and the request falls within the applicable window. Once substantial trading activity has happened, refund eligibility is typically gone. A refund exits you from the account entirely.
The practical scenario where confusion happens: a trader who has just breached their Test account early in the first billing cycle might ask whether they should request a refund or pay $100 to reset. The refund would return subscription fees paid; the reset would cost $100 and restart the evaluation. If the refund is still available, exiting might cost less than resetting, but it means starting over with a new purchase if you return. If the refund window has closed, the reset at $100 is the only option to stay in the evaluation.
The TakeProfitTrader accounts overview covers the full account lifecycle including what happens at each transition point. For payout-related questions on the funded side, the payout rules article covers the buffer requirement and withdrawal process.
How does NOFEE40 affect resets?
NOFEE40 interacts with resets in one specific and valuable way: it waives the $130 PRO activation fee on every reset, not just on the initial Test pass.
Here is how the math plays out on a $50K PRO account:
Without NOFEE40: You reset the Test account for $100, then pass again, and pay $130 to re-activate PRO. Total re-entry cost: $230 plus the Test subscription.
With NOFEE40: You reset the Test account for $100, pass again, and the $130 PRO activation is waived. Total re-entry cost: $100 plus the Test subscription at the discounted rate.
Over multiple reset cycles, the PRO activation waiver compounds. Three Test resets without NOFEE40 costs $300 in reset fees plus $390 in re-activation fees (3 × $130). With NOFEE40, the same three cycles cost $300 in reset fees and $0 in re-activations.
What NOFEE40 does not do: it does not reduce the $100 Test reset fee itself, and it does not reduce any PRO reset fee. The Test subscription discount (40% for life of account) applies to monthly payments, not reset costs.
For traders who expect to run multiple accounts or have a higher-than-average reset frequency, NOFEE40's re-activation waiver is arguably more valuable than its subscription discount. The TakeProfitTrader promo code guide covers the full scope of what NOFEE40 does and does not include.
As of May 2026, NOFEE40 is the active code. The advertised expiry has been April 30 2026 on third-party tracking sites, but the promo has been repeatedly extended through 2026 and functions as a standing offer rather than a time-limited one.
How do resets compare to other firms?
The $100 flat Test reset is competitive within the prop firm sector for mid-to-large evaluation sizes. On a $150K Test account, paying $100 to restart a challenge that leads to a $150K live funded account is a very low friction cost relative to the potential upside.
The PRO tiered structure is more expensive than some reset-based models at competing firms, but the comparison is partly apples and oranges because TPT's PRO phase is a live funded environment (real capital, real payout), not a simulated second stage. The Apex Trader Funding model, for comparison, uses a single-step evaluation with a different restart/reset framework. Topstep and Bulenox both have their own distinct funded reset structures.
The specific differentiator at TPT is the 3-reset hard limit on PRO. Firms like Tradeify, LucidTrading, and MyFundedFutures each handle funded-phase resets differently. If unlimited funded-phase resets are important to your trading model, that is worth checking at the specific firm before committing to a large account size.
The broader context from TakeProfitTrader's account structure: TPT's three-phase model was designed around a specific risk profile. Test = simulation with easy EOD trailing, PRO = live with strict intraday trailing, PRO+ = live with forgiving EOD trailing. The reset fee structure reinforces the intent: Test resets should be accessible ($100), PRO resets should be deliberate (tiered), and PRO+ resets should not exist at all (best conditions, no second chances).
For comparison against a firm with a different funding philosophy, see the Alpha Futures and E8 Markets structures.
The bottom line
TakeProfitTrader's reset fee structure is straightforward once you understand the phase logic. Test resets cost $100 flat regardless of account size, making them accessible and worth using when the alternative is walking away from a near-passing evaluation. PRO resets are tiered from $399 to $1,499, making them a deliberate financial decision that deserves edge math before pulling the trigger. PRO+ resets do not exist.
NOFEE40 adds secondary value to every reset by waiving the $130 PRO activation fee on re-conversion, a benefit that compounds significantly for traders who use multiple accounts or run reset cycles. It does not reduce the reset costs themselves.
Paul has traded TakeProfitTrader for ~3 years and withdrawn $20K+ across multiple account phases. The reset fee structure here is not a dealbreaker for a firm with a genuine payout track record, but the 3-reset PRO limit is a real constraint worth factoring into your account management approach before choosing the $150K size.
If you are evaluating whether TakeProfitTrader is the right firm for your trading style, the main TakeProfitTrader review covers the full picture, including the PRO intraday drawdown mechanics that drive most reset decisions in the first place.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a TakeProfitTrader Test reset cost?
A Test phase reset costs $100 flat, regardless of account size. If your account subscription renews for the month, that renewal includes one free reset, so you are not paying $100 on top of the monthly fee in the same billing cycle.
What are the PRO phase reset fees at TakeProfitTrader?
PRO resets are tiered by account size: $399 for a $25K account, $649 for $50K, $799 for $75K, $999 for $100K, and $1,499 for a $150K account. You are limited to 3 PRO resets per account. After the third, the account is closed permanently.
Can you reset a PRO+ account?
No. PRO+ accounts cannot be reset under any circumstance. A drawdown breach on PRO+ closes the account permanently. There is no reset pathway, no fee to pay, no workaround. If you reach PRO+ and breach, you would need to start a new Test account and re-qualify through PRO before another auto-promotion is possible.
Does NOFEE40 reduce the reset fee?
No. NOFEE40 gives you 40% off the Test monthly subscription for the life of the account and waives the $130 PRO activation fee on first pass and on every reset. It does not reduce the reset fee itself. Your $100 Test reset stays $100 and your PRO reset stays at whatever tiered amount applies to your account size.
What is the difference between a reset and a refund at TakeProfitTrader?
A reset restarts your evaluation from the original starting balance and drawdown parameters. A refund returns subscription or activation fees under specific circumstances, generally before meaningful trading has occurred. A reset keeps you in the challenge; a refund exits you from it. They are separate processes with different eligibility windows and different outcomes.
When does a reset make financial sense on a Test account?
A $100 flat reset makes sense almost any time you are near a drawdown breach on a $50K or larger Test account, since your remaining profit target likely exceeds $100 by a significant margin. On the $25K account ($1,500 target), the math is tighter but a $100 reset still represents only 6.7% of the target. The main exception is a recurring breach pattern that signals a strategy problem rather than a single bad session.
When does a PRO reset make financial sense?
At $399 for the $25K PRO account, the reset pays back in one solid funded month at typical edge. At $1,499 for the $150K account, you need to generate roughly $7,495 in gross profit at 80/20 to break even on the reset cost. Run your personal average monthly edge against the fee before committing, especially on larger sizes where the 3-reset hard limit makes each reset a finite resource.
How does the free reset from subscription renewal work?
When your monthly Test subscription auto-renews, TakeProfitTrader includes one free reset as part of that renewal. If you breach near the end of your billing cycle, renewing is effectively the same cost as a $100 paid reset but includes a full additional month of trading. The free reset from renewal does not stack with a separately purchased reset in the same billing window.
What happens after 3 PRO resets?
After exhausting all 3 allowed PRO resets, the account is permanently closed. There is no appeal, no fourth reset, and no way to recover that specific account. You would need to purchase a new Test account and pass again to re-enter the PRO phase. This limit applies per account, so a separate PRO account has its own 3-reset allowance.
How do TakeProfitTrader reset fees compare to other prop firms?
The $100 flat Test reset is among the more accessible in the sector for mid-to-large sizes. The PRO tiered structure at $399 to $1,499 reflects the live-funded nature of that phase, not a simulated second step. The key differentiator is the 3-reset PRO limit, which is stricter than some competitors. Firms like Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, and Bulenox each handle funded resets with different rules and fee structures that are worth comparing if reset flexibility is a priority.
Does the PRO activation fee apply again after a PRO reset?
Yes, the $130 PRO activation fee would normally apply when converting a reset Test account back to PRO. NOFEE40 waives this fee on every reset, which is a meaningful secondary benefit beyond the initial pass. Without NOFEE40, a full reset cycle on a $50K account (Test reset $100 + PRO re-activation $130) costs $230. With NOFEE40, it costs $100.
Is there a limit on how many Test resets you can take?
No published limit on Test phase resets appears in the help center or secondary source coverage. Unlike PRO (which caps at 3), Test resets at $100 each appear to be available without a published ceiling. This does not mean unlimited resets are guaranteed by policy, but there is no documented 3-reset style cap on the evaluation phase as of May 2026.
