Simulated results
Three trader profiles, thousands of evaluations each against Take Profit Trader's exact rules. Pass is the eval only, payout is conditional on passing, joint withdrawal is end-to-end, P&L is expected value over 50 attempts. Run the full simulation on your own trades for your real pass probability, risk of ruin and full journal statistics.
Why traders fail this challenge
Balanced-archetype failure breakdown — what actually ends a Take Profit Trader run.
Rules explained
How Take Profit Trader's drawdown works
Take Profit Trader uses a static drawdown of 3% of the starting balance. Static drawdown is the friendliest structure — the floor doesn't move as you profit. See trailing drawdown explained for the full mechanics.
How the daily loss limit is calculated
Take Profit Trader has no daily loss limit on the standard evaluation, which is unusually forgiving. The trade-off is that the max-drawdown gate does more of the work of ending losing runs.
Consistency rule
Take Profit Trader has no consistency rule on the standard evaluation. See the consistency rule explained for the full mechanics and how it changes your real pass rate.
Take Profit Trader payouts: how withdrawals actually work
Take Profit Trader pays 80% of funded-account profit to the trader, on a cycle of every 7 days. Before the first withdrawal you must be at least 3% above the starting balance, across a minimum of 5 profitable trading days. The trailing drawdown does not carry over to the funded account, which materially improves the odds of surviving long enough to withdraw.
The split is the number every firm advertises and the least useful one, because it only applies to the runs that reach a payout at all. The drawdown structure decides that, not the split. See why most funded traders never get paid for the full breakdown.
Is Take Profit Trader legit?
Yes, in the sense that matters legally: Take Profit Trader publishes its ruleset, operates a defined 80% profit split and runs a real payout cycle every 7 days. We have no affiliate relationship with the firm, so we have no incentive to say otherwise.
The more useful question is whether the offer is favourable, and that is a maths question rather than a trust question. Take Profit Trader charges $150 for the mid-tier evaluation and requires a 6% profit target against a static drawdown of 3%. Against those rules, a balanced trader profile passes 58.4% of the time and reaches a withdrawal on 22.4% of runs. Over 50 attempts, expected value works out to $17k.
That is the honest frame: the firm is not deceiving anyone, but the business model is built on most evaluations failing, and the rules are priced accordingly. A firm is a bad deal when the rules make the target unreachable for your style — not when it is a scam. Our full analysis of whether prop firms are a scam covers the industry-wide picture.
Is Take Profit Trader worth it?
TPT is one of the friendlier eval structures — static drawdown, no daily loss on core plans, generous max days. Simulated pass rates run high across archetypes. Where it costs you is the profit split and payout cadence versus more aggressive competitors.
Frequently asked
What is Take Profit Trader's trailing drawdown?+
Take Profit Trader uses a static drawdown of 3% of the starting balance. This is the single biggest driver of long-run pass rate for most traders.
What win rate do you need to pass Take Profit Trader?+
Not a fixed number. Our simulator runs three archetypes against Take Profit Trader's exact rules: the balanced 50%-win-rate trader passes 58.4% of the time; the scalper archetype and swing archetype produce meaningfully different numbers on the firm page above. Passing is a function of edge, variance, and how the ruleset punishes lumpy P&L — not win rate in isolation.
How much does Take Profit Trader cost long-term?+
The mid-tier Take Profit Trader evaluation is $150. Over 50 attempted challenges, our balanced-archetype simulation nets $17k — that's eval fees paid on failures netted against payouts collected on the joint 22.4% of runs that reach a withdrawal.
Does Take Profit Trader have a consistency rule?+
No consistency rule on the evaluation for the standard plan. Verify current terms — firms add and remove these rules regularly.
Is Take Profit Trader worth it in 2026?+
TPT is one of the friendlier eval structures — static drawdown, no daily loss on core plans, generous max days. Simulated pass rates run high across archetypes. Where it costs you is the profit split and payout cadence versus more aggressive competitors.
Is Take Profit Trader legit?+
Take Profit Trader is a real evaluation provider with published rules and a 80% profit split, paying out every 7 days. The honest answer isn't "scam or not" — it's that the business model is designed around most traders failing. Our simulation puts the end-to-end odds of passing and reaching a withdrawal at 22.4% for a balanced trader. That's a low number, but it's disclosed in the ruleset rather than hidden.
How long do Take Profit Trader payouts take?+
Take Profit Trader runs a payout cycle every 7 days, and you need at least 5 profitable trading days before the first request, plus a 3% profit buffer above the starting balance. The gating factor is almost never processing time — it's reaching the buffer at all.
What is Take Profit Trader's profit split?+
80% to the trader on funded accounts. Profit split is the most advertised number in prop trading and the least important one — the split only applies to the minority of runs that reach a payout at all, so the drawdown structure that decides whether you get there matters far more.
