Take Profit Trader account sizes & per-size rules
Short answer
Take Profit Trader runs 4 account sizes, from 25k up to 150k, priced from $105 to $260, and up to $150k once scaling is included. The rules do not change between sizes — end-of-day trailing drawdown, 90% split and none apply to every tier — but the dollar buffer does, and that is what decides which size you should actually buy.

The full Take Profit Trader size ladder
Prop pricing scales sub-linearly with account size — roughly the square root of the size ratio — so the biggest account is almost never the best value per dollar of usable buffer. Each line below shows the modelled list price, the first-phase profit target and the loss buffer expressed as a percentage of the account.
Read the buffer column first. On a end-of-day trailing drawdown, the dollar buffer is the only number that limits your position size; the account label is marketing. A trader risking 1% per trade on the 150k account is taking the same dollar risk as one risking 6× that percentage on the smallest.
- 25k — $105, 6% target = $1.5k, 4% buffer = $1k of loss room
- 50k — $150, 6% target = $3k, 4% buffer = $2k of loss room
- 100k — $210, 6% target = $6k, 4% buffer = $4k of loss room
- 150k — $260, 6% target = $9k, 4% buffer = $6k of loss room
Which Take Profit Trader size is actually the best value
Cost per dollar of loss buffer is the honest comparison. 25k costs 0.105 per dollar of buffer; 50k costs 0.075 per dollar of buffer; 100k costs 0.052 per dollar of buffer; 150k costs 0.043 per dollar of buffer. The cheapest ratio is where the firm is subsidising you the most, and it is usually a mid tier rather than the flagship.
The second filter is your own stop distance. Work out the worst-case dollar loss of a normal trade at your usual size, multiply by five consecutive losers, and buy the smallest account whose buffer absorbs that without breaching. Buying above that point is paying for headroom you will never trade into; buying below it guarantees a reset fee.
What the 25k and 50k tiers mean in practice
The small tiers are where most traders start and where most resets happen, because the dollar buffer is small enough that a single mis-sized position ends the account. On a futures account, one ES contract moves roughly $50 per point — on a 25k account with a few thousand dollars of buffer, a 20-point adverse move on two contracts is most of your room. Micros exist precisely for this tier.
The larger tiers change the psychology more than the maths. Same rules, same percentage targets, bigger dollar swings — which is why traders who pass consistently on a small account often breach the first week on a large one. Scale the account only after you have taken at least two payouts at the size below.
- End-of-day trailing drawdown: The threshold trails closed end-of-day balances until the buffer clears, then stops. Intraday give-back does not permanently damage your stop-out level.
- No consistency rule: A single outsized winning day does not block a withdrawal. This is rare in futures and is the firm's strongest practical advantage.
- PRO account conversion: Passing the evaluation moves you to a funded PRO account with its own sizing rules; read the contract limits before increasing size.
Rules that stay the same at every size
Firms rarely vary the rulebook by account size — they vary the dollar limits. On Take Profit Trader the constants are the end-of-day trailing drawdown, the 90% profit split, the on demand, 5-day minimum payout window and the consistency position (none).
- News trading: allowed — No news restriction — a deliberate positioning choice by TPT.
- EAs: conditionally allowed — Semi-automation allowed; unattended systems are not.
- Weekend holding: not permitted — Flat before the weekend.
- Time limit: none — No evaluation deadline.
FAQ
What are the Take Profit Trader 25k account rules?
The 25k account carries a 6% profit target ($1.5k) and a 4% loss buffer ($1k) under Take Profit Trader's end-of-day trailing drawdown. Every other rule — split, payout cycle, consistency — is identical to the larger tiers.
What is the biggest Take Profit Trader account?
Allocation reaches $150k once the scaling plan is included, with the largest directly purchasable tier around 150k at $260.
Do Take Profit Trader rules change with account size?
No. The percentage targets, drawdown model, profit split and payout cadence are the same at every size — only the dollar amounts scale.
Which Take Profit Trader account size should a beginner buy?
The smallest size whose dollar buffer survives five consecutive normal losers at your usual position size. For most traders that is the 25k or the tier above it — pass it, take two payouts, then scale.
