Take Profit Trader
Our Summary
Pros:
- Low commissions on micros - only $0.50 per round trip!
- While they technically charge activation fees in theory; in reality they seem to almost always have a discount code in place that waives the activation fees.
- Their $25K account has a 1:1 profit target to max drawdown ratio -- usually that ratio is more like 1.5 to 1.
Cons: During sim-funded stage, the drawdown is intraday - it is EOD during evaluation.

Commission Schedules
General Policies
Test and PRO accounts are simulated. PRO+ accounts are live-market accounts whose orders are routed to the exchange rather than simulated or copy-traded.
TakeProfitTrader's Universal Trading Policies state that automated trading systems, bots, or algorithmic execution tools are not permitted. The public PRO account rules also say automated or bot trading of any kind is not allowed and all trades must be manually executed by the trader.
No formal policy.
Pass the Trading Test to receive a PRO account. Advancement from PRO to PRO+ is managed by Take Profit Trader through a holistic live-market review rather than a single published threshold; once upgraded, future trading and withdrawals move to the PRO+ account.
Take Profit Trader enforces a limit-up/limit-down protection rule: traders must exit all open positions before a price limit is reached; if a price limit is hit and the trader has not exited their position, they will lose their PRO Account. Additionally, accounts are immediately liquidated if the account balance drops to the Minimum Account Balance at any time through realized or unrealized losses.
Take Profit Trader's terms state that subscription and activation fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law, and that a refund may be issued if the company cannot activate the purchased account.
Standard activation for a new PRO account is a one-time $130 fee, though some promo codes may provide a PRO activation credit that waives it. PRO+ upgrades do not have an additional setup cost.
