I passed three TakeProfitTrader Tests in July 2026 and currently trade three active PRO accounts with $100K combined account size. PTV may earn a commission through the tracked VIBES referral link, at no added cost to you. VIBES identifies PTV as the referrer; the separate public NOFEE40 promotion currently supplies the advertised discount.

TakeProfitTrader rules change when you move from Test to PRO and again when you are invited to PRO+. Treating the three phases as one ruleset is the fastest way to breach an account.
I passed three TakeProfitTrader Tests in July 2026 and now trade three active PRO accounts with $100K combined account size. The practical issue is not passing the Test. It is adjusting from the forgiving EOD drawdown in Test to the intraday trail in PRO.
This guide reflects the official help center checked in August 2026. TakeProfitTrader can change account-specific terms, so your dashboard and signed agreement remain controlling.
How do Test, PRO, and PRO+ differ?
| Phase | Environment | Drawdown | Split | Key gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test | Simulation evaluation | EOD trailing | Not applicable | 5 days and below-50% consistency |
| PRO | Simulation funded | Intraday trailing | 80/20 | Build the buffer before normal withdrawals |
| PRO+ | Live-market account | EOD trailing | 90/10 | Invitation at TPT discretion |
The drawdown switch matters most. A Test account updates its trailing floor from end-of-day results. A PRO account reacts to unrealized intraday peaks. PRO+ returns to an EOD model, but TakeProfitTrader decides who receives the invitation.
What are the current Test rules?
The Test is a one-step monthly evaluation with no fixed completion deadline. You need at least five trading days, the account profit target, and a consistency percentage below 50%.
| Size | Target | Max contracts | EOD drawdown |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | 3 | $1,500 |
| $50K | $3,000 | 6 | $2,000 |
| $75K | $4,500 | 9 | $2,500 |
| $100K | $6,000 | 12 | $3,000 |
| $150K | $9,000 | 15 | $4,500 |
The consistency calculation is highest profit day divided by total net profit. The result must be below 50%, not equal to 50%. If your best day is $2,000, total net profit must exceed $4,000.
What changes when you reach PRO?
PRO is still simulated, but eligible profit can be withdrawn. The drawdown now trails realized and unrealized peaks intraday until it reaches the starting balance. A runner that gives back unrealized profit can therefore shrink your remaining room even if the closed trade is positive.
You must complete at least one round-trip trade each calendar week from Sunday through Friday unless support grants an exception. PRO also applies the prohibited-news windows and the universal execution policies.
Which news events are restricted?
PRO and PRO+ accounts must be flat with no working orders one minute before, during, and one minute after FOMC statements, Non-Farm Payrolls, and CPI. Crude Oil Inventories add a product-specific restriction for CL. Bond auctions add one for the 10-Year Note and 30-Year Bond.
The official Test rules do not add this PRO news restriction, but slippage and limit moves still count against the account. I would not treat the Test as risk-free around releases.
Can you copy trades or use automation?
Bots and algorithmic trading are prohibited. Trade copiers are permitted only for accounts you own and control, using an approved copier or platform-native tool.
Copying between different users, pass services, payout services, coordinated group execution, and offsetting positions are prohibited. The safe dividing line is ownership plus independent risk: your accounts, your decision, one directional thesis.
How many accounts can you run?
TakeProfitTrader allows unlimited Test accounts. The funded-stage cap is five active PRO and PRO+ accounts combined per person. It is not five of each.
A separate throttle allows at most ten passed-Test activations within 30 calendar days. That matters if you cycle accounts quickly.
What is the session-close rule?
Positions cannot carry into the next trading day. The standard futures window runs from 6 PM ET to 5 PM ET, and TakeProfitTrader says open positions are automatically closed at 4:55 PM ET. Holiday and product-specific hours can close earlier.
Do not use 5 PM as your manual exit target. Give yourself enough time for rejected orders, platform lag, and thin holiday liquidity.
What newer policies should you know?
The Sustainable Trading Policy lets TakeProfitTrader review patterns such as repeated maximum sizing, account churning, simulation-fill exploitation, and major divergence between PRO and PRO+ behavior. Passing isolated rule checks does not override that broader risk review.
The PRO+ Development account is another newer layer. It uses live capital with reduced sizing, a soft daily loss pause, and a smaller EOD drawdown for traders whose risk profile needs tighter controls.
How should you prepare for the Test-to-PRO transition?
Do not carry Test sizing straight into PRO. During the Test, an intraday profit peak does not tighten the drawdown floor until the session closes. In PRO, the same open peak can move the floor immediately. I plan from the remaining drawdown on each PRO account and reduce contracts when one account has less room than the others.
The transition also adds operational checks. Confirm every copied account has the same position and working orders, flatten before restricted news, and complete the weekly round trip without leaving it to Friday afternoon. A written pre-session checklist matters more here than another indicator because the common failure points are structural, not predictive.
The bottom line
TakeProfitTrader is straightforward only if you separate the phases. Test rewards controlled EOD progress. PRO punishes large unrealized givebacks. PRO+ is a discretionary live upgrade, not an automatic prize for hitting one published number.
My current setup is three active PRO accounts with $100K combined size. I trade them with the PRO intraday trail as the main constraint, not the nominal account balance.
How does the drawdown lock change usable risk?
On a $50K Test, the $2,000 EOD drawdown starts with a $48,000 minimum balance. A $1,000 closed gain at the end of the session moves that floor to $49,000. Once the EOD floor reaches $50,000, it stops. Intraday swings above the close do not move the Test floor.
On the matching PRO account, the same $2,000 trail follows peak equity in real time. If equity touches $51,000, the minimum rises to $49,000 immediately. Closing the trade at $50,400 does not move the floor back down. That $600 giveback is already gone from usable risk.
This is why I treat open PRO profit as risk, not as a cushion. The account can be green on the day and still have less room than it started with.
How should you verify a rule before trading?
Use the universal policy first, then the phase-specific Test, PRO, or PRO+ article, then the signed account agreement. A dashboard restriction can also be more specific than a general help-center sentence.
Take screenshots when a rule affects a trade plan, especially news times, approved products, and a copier version. That record does not override the contract, but it gives support a concrete timestamp and source if the published rule changes later.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main TakeProfitTrader rules?
TakeProfitTrader requires approved products, approved hours, position-size compliance, no bots, no counter positions, and independent execution. Test adds five days and below-50% consistency; PRO and PRO+ add weekly activity and prohibited-news windows.
Does TakeProfitTrader have a daily loss limit?
Standard TakeProfitTrader Test, PRO, and PRO+ rules do not publish a daily loss limit. PRO+ Development is different and includes a soft daily loss pause with plan-specific amounts.
What is the TakeProfitTrader consistency rule?
TakeProfitTrader requires the highest-profit Test day to be less than 50% of total net profit. Exactly 50% is not below the threshold, so total profit must exceed twice the best day.
How many days does a TakeProfitTrader Test require?
TakeProfitTrader requires at least five trading days in the Test. There is no fixed maximum number of days while the monthly subscription remains active.
Is TakeProfitTrader PRO live or simulated?
TakeProfitTrader PRO is simulated. PRO+ is the live-market stage and is granted by invitation after a broader performance and risk review.
How many TakeProfitTrader funded accounts can I have?
TakeProfitTrader allows five active PRO and PRO+ accounts combined per person. Unlimited Test accounts are allowed, subject to a ten-activation limit for passed Tests within 30 calendar days.
Can I hold TakeProfitTrader positions overnight?
No. TakeProfitTrader positions cannot carry into the next trading day. The firm states that standard positions are automatically closed at 4:55 PM ET, with earlier product or holiday closes still controlling.
Can I trade news at TakeProfitTrader?
TakeProfitTrader PRO and PRO+ accounts must be flat with no working orders around specified FOMC, NFP, CPI, crude-inventory, and bond-auction events. The window is one minute before, during, and one minute after the event.
Are trade copiers allowed at TakeProfitTrader?
Yes. TakeProfitTrader allows approved trade copiers across accounts owned and controlled by the same trader. Cross-user copying, bots, pass services, and risk-neutralizing structures remain prohibited.
What happens if I stop trading a PRO account?
TakeProfitTrader requires at least one round-trip trade per calendar week from Sunday through Friday on PRO and PRO+. Contact support in advance if life circumstances require an exception.
How do you get a TakeProfitTrader PRO+ account?
TakeProfitTrader invites traders to PRO+ after a holistic review of consistency, risk, execution, and discipline. The firm publishes no automatic profit threshold that guarantees promotion.
