TakeProfitTrader was founded in 2021 in Orlando, Florida by James Sixsmith and has earned a 4.4/5 Trustpilot rating from over 6,700 reviews. They trade CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX futures exclusively across NinjaTrader, TradingView, and Tradovate.
All accounts use a single-phase evaluation with a 6% profit target and an EOD trailing drawdown. As of January 2025, the daily loss limit was removed — a major rule change that allows traders to recover from large intraday drawdowns. The 50% consistency rule still applies during evaluation. Five account sizes are available from $25K to $150K, with monthly subscription fees from $150 to $360 and a one-time $130 activation fee on funded accounts.
The payout model is built around the 'buffer' concept: traders must first grow the account by an amount equal to the max drawdown before withdrawing, but once that buffer is established, withdrawals are unlimited with no waiting periods. PRO accounts pay 80% split; PRO+ accounts (unlocked after $5,000 in cumulative profits) pay 90% and trade with live capital. Up to 5 accounts can be held simultaneously for a maximum $750,000 in total allocation.
