Take Profit Trader Review — $25k Futures Evaluation (2026)

Full review

Take Profit Trader has built a strong reputation in the prop firm industry, particularly for its trader-friendly payout policy. The 25k evaluation account is priced at $150/month, with a current promotion offering 40% off for life (bringing it to $90/month) using code NOFEE40 — which also waives the $130 activation fee entirely.

The evaluation structure features a $1,500 profit target with a $1,500 EOD (End of Day) trailing drawdown. The EOD drawdown is a significant advantage — unlike intraday trailing drawdowns that adjust in real-time as your account equity rises during a session, the EOD drawdown only updates at the close of each trading day. This gives traders more breathing room during volatile intraday moves.

The daily loss limit has been removed (shown as strikethrough on their website), simplifying the rules. With only 5 minimum trading days required, skilled traders can pass the evaluation within a single week of trading.

What truly differentiates Take Profit Trader is the day-one payout policy. Once funded in a PRO account, traders can withdraw profits immediately — there is no minimum number of profitable days, no maximum withdrawal amount, and no waiting for payout windows. The PRO account offers an 80/20 profit split.

Traders can further upgrade to PRO+ status, which provides 90/10 profit split, EOD drawdown (instead of intraday on PRO), no buffer requirement, and live market execution through Tradovate as the regulated broker. This progression path from simulated to live market trading is unique among the firms reviewed.

The activation fee is normally $130 one-time, but is waived with the NOFEE40 promo code. Take Profit Trader supports over 15 trading platforms with both Rithmic and CQG data feeds.

Key strengths: Day-one payouts, EOD trailing drawdown, only 5 min days, PRO to PRO+ upgrade path, wide platform support, activation fee waived with promo. Key consideration: $150/month regular price is the highest among reviewed firms, and 80% base profit split is lower than some competitors.
