Take Profit Trader rules at a glance

|---|---|
| Drawdown (evaluation) | End-of-day trailing on the Test ($1,500 on 25K, $4,500 on 150K), recalculated on the highest end-of-day balance; some third-party trackers still describe it as static |
| Drawdown (funded) | Intraday trailing on PRO; EOD on PRO+ |
| Daily loss limit | None on the Test since January 2025; on PRO, $500 on 25K, scaling with account size |
| Consistency | 50% on the Test: no single day may be 50% or more of net P/L, breaching it raises the profit goal rather than failing the account; none on PRO and PRO+ |
| Minimum days | 3 trading days on the Test (help center, August 2026; several trackers still list 5); 5 winning days per payout |
| Contract cap | 6 / 12 contracts on 50K / 100K, micros at ten times the mini cap |
| Automation | Bots prohibited on PRO accounts under the PRO Account Rules, which also add a weekly trading requirement, limit-up/down obligation and news blackouts; the Test policy is not published clearly, confirm in writing before deploying |

What this means for a systematic strategy
Take Profit Trader is the clearest stage-switch case in the group: an end-of-day floor in the evaluation, intraday trailing on the funded PRO account. A strategy that scales out or holds through mid-move heat will pass the evaluation and then meet a floor that measures every tick. PRO+ restores EOD but at a higher cost. Bots are prohibited on PRO under the PRO Account Rules; alert-driven manual execution is the only path once funded.
Is Take Profit Trader worth it for a systematic strategy?
Rarely. This is the clearest stage-switch in futures: an end-of-day floor in the evaluation, intraday trailing on the funded PRO account. A strategy that scales out or holds through midday heat passes the test and then meets a floor that measures every tick. PRO+ restores end-of-day but at a higher cost.
Bots are prohibited on PRO under the PRO Account Rules, so alert-driven manual execution is the only path once funded. The $500 daily limit on a 25K PRO account is tight for anything with more than two stops in a session.

Is Take Profit Trader EOD or intraday?
End-of-day trailing on the Test, intraday trailing on the funded PRO account, EOD again on PRO+. The stage switch is the rule that catches most traders.

Not on PRO accounts: the PRO Account Rules prohibit bots. The Test policy is not published clearly, so confirm in writing before using any automation; alert-driven manual execution is the safe path.
