Take Profit Trader Review 2026
Take Profit Trader (TPT) is a futures proprietary trading firm that has been operating since approximately 2015, giving it one of the longer track records in the current market alongside TopStep and Earn2Trade. The firm holds a 4.4 out of 5 Trustpilot rating from over 8,980 reviews — one of the larger verified review bases for a mid-tier futures prop firm. TPT distinguishes itself with same-day Rise payouts, end-of-day trailing drawdown during evaluation, and the broadest platform support of any firm in this review.
Account Types
TPT offers PRO and PRO+ accounts in two sizes — $50,000 and $150,000. The PRO account pays an 80/20 split. PRO+ is invite-only, awarded after approximately $5,000 in PRO profits, and pays 90/10. The evaluation uses EOD trailing drawdown, which means the floor only adjusts at market close — identical to TopStep, Alpha Futures, and Tradeify. However, once traders pass and activate a funded PRO account, the drawdown model switches to intraday trailing. This transition catches traders off guard and generates the most common negative reviews.
Payouts and Buffer
A buffer equal to the maximum drawdown amount must be built before the first payout can be requested. On a $50,000 account the buffer is $2,000, meaning the balance must reach $52,000 before withdrawal eligibility. Once above the buffer, traders pull 80% of profits above the threshold. Payouts are processed same-day via Rise. If a funded account is terminated while inside the buffer zone and the account has been active for fewer than 60 trading days, the split drops to 50%.
Platforms and Rules
TPT supports more trading platforms than any other futures prop firm: NinjaTrader, Rithmic, Tradovate, TopstepX-compatible platforms, TradingView, and several others. A mandatory one-to-two minute news buffer applies around major economic releases — FOMC, NFP, CPI. All positions must be closed by 5 PM ET. Scaling caps at $750,000 across five simultaneous accounts.
Trust and Reliability
The 4.4/5 Trustpilot from 8,980 reviews reflects a consistently reliable payout history over multiple years. The January 2026 Tradovate outage generated a spike of negative reviews as traders had positions stuck — TPT eventually remediated affected accounts but communication during the two-day gap was criticised. The firm has received an A+ safety grade from independent prop firm comparison services.
