How to Get Funded with Take Profit Trader

Getting funded with Take Profit Trader requires passing a one-step evaluation by hitting a profit target while staying within the EOD trailing drawdown over a minimum of 5 trading days¹². Once funded, traders receive a PRO account with daily payouts from day one³.

This guide covers the evaluation requirements, drawdown rules, and the payout process for each account size.

The One-Step Evaluation

Take Profit Trader uses a single-step evaluation with no multi-phase challenges¹. The evaluation uses End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown, meaning the maximum loss limit is calculated based on your end-of-day balance rather than intraday equity swings².

Account Sizes and Requirements

Take Profit Trader offers five account sizes⁴:

• $25,000 Account: $1,500 profit target, $1,500 trailing drawdown, up to 3 contracts (30 micros)⁴
• $50,000 Account: $3,000 profit target, $2,000 trailing drawdown, up to 6 contracts (60 micros)⁴
• $75,000 Account: $4,500 profit target, $3,000 trailing drawdown, up to 9 contracts (90 micros)⁴
• $100,000 Account: $6,000 profit target, $4,000 trailing drawdown, up to 12 contracts (120 micros)⁴
• $150,000 Account: $9,000 profit target, $4,500 trailing drawdown, up to 15 contracts (150 micros)⁴

EOD Trailing Drawdown

The trailing drawdown tracks your highest end-of-day balance². As your balance grows at end of day, the drawdown floor moves up. If your balance hits the drawdown floor, the evaluation ends². The EOD calculation is more forgiving than intraday trailing drawdowns because temporary dips during the session do not affect the drawdown level.

Consistency Rule

No single trading day can exceed 50% of total net profits¹. This requires a minimum of 5 trading days¹.

Position Closure

All positions must be closed by 5:00 PM ET daily⁵. No overnight positions are allowed⁵. Trading window runs from 6:00 PM ET to 5:00 PM ET the following day⁵.

No Counter Positions

Opposing positions across accounts or similar products are not allowed⁶.

Traders can hold up to 5 funded accounts simultaneously¹³.

Tips for Passing the Evaluation

Plan for 5+ Days

Since you need at least 5 trading days with no single day exceeding 50% of total profits¹, set realistic daily profit goals. Divide the profit target by 5-7 days to create achievable daily targets.

Use the EOD Drawdown to Your Advantage

The EOD trailing drawdown gives you room to manage positions intraday². If a trade goes against you temporarily, you have until end of day to recover without the drawdown floor moving against you.

Build a Buffer Early

Trade conservatively in the first few days to build a profit cushion above the drawdown threshold. A small buffer provides safety margin for the remaining evaluation days.

Close by 5:00 PM ET

All positions must be closed by 5:00 PM ET⁵. Set alerts to ensure you close before the deadline.

Prepare for PRO's Stricter Drawdown

The PRO funded account uses intraday trailing drawdown, which is stricter than the evaluation's EOD trailing⁷. Develop risk management habits during the evaluation that will carry over to the funded account.

Automation and TradersPost

Take Profit Trader's Terms of Service state they are looking for discretionary traders and that accounts using automated systems on very short time frames will be considered unsuccessful¹⁴. High-frequency algorithmic trading is prohibited¹⁴. However, the Terms acknowledge the use of trade copiers and third-party tools, placing responsibility on the trader¹⁴. Take Profit Trader accounts can be connected to TradersPost through Tradovate. Verify the current automation policy directly with Take Profit Trader before using automated tools.

Conclusion

Getting funded with Take Profit Trader is straightforward through their one-step evaluation with EOD trailing drawdown². The 5-day minimum and 50% consistency rule¹ make the path to funding predictable. Daily payouts from day one³ and the upgrade path to PRO+ with 90% profit split¹¹ make the funded account attractive.
