Firm Rules

  1. EAs/Trading Bots/Algos – These are not allowed.
  2. CME Price Limits – Price limits apply and it is your responsibility to exit your positions before these limits are hit. A failure to do so will cost you your Pro Account.

  3. Inactivity Rule – Must have at least one trading day per calendar week. A “traded-day” is defined as a day where you hold an option position on your most traded instruments for at least one minute.
    1. In case you need an exception to this rule, it is important to reach out to the Take Profit Trader team for this.
  4. Intraday or EOD Trailing Drawdown – Drawdown is calculated on an End of Day Basis (5PM EST) on the Test and the Pro+ Accounts. However, on the Pro account, there is a Trailing Drawdown which is calculated intraday based on your peak balance; this includes realised and unrealised gains.
    1. Drawdown stops trailing once it has reached the initial account balance.
  5. Maximum Accounts – Can have a maximum of 5 Pro/Pro+ accounts at one time.
  6. News Trading – There are no restrictions on the Test account around News. However, all Pro and Pro+ accounts must be out of all positions and cannot have any open orders one minute before, during and after the follow news events:
    1. FOMC Statements/Announcements – Wednesday’s at 2pm ET.
    2. Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) – Friday’s at 8:30am ET, once every month.
    3. Consumer Price Index (CPI)
  • The following events are also prohibited for specific instruments:
    • Crude Oil Inventories | Prohibited Product – Crude Oil
    • Bond Auctions | Prohibited Products – 10Y Note, 30Y Bond.
  • Counter Positions – Cannot hold positions in opposite directions on closely correlated products. This rule applies on all account types.
  • Account Resets – Can reset a Pro account up to three times per account.

No, you can get paid from day one. However, there is a Buffer Zone requirement which is equal to your drawdown before you can get paid. Also note that you can only take profits from your buffer after you terminate the account.

Copy trading is allowed, and you can trade up to 5 Pro and Pro+ accounts. For example you can have 3 Pro and 2 Pro+ accounts at once. 

The process to get paid out is as follows: first you must withdraw the balance into your Take Profit Trader Wallet. From there, you must then request a withdrawal via your preferred method. 

80/20 on the Pro Account, and 90/10 on the Pro+ Account. Do bear in mind the Buffer Requirements for the Pro Account. This does not apply for the Pro+ Account, however. 

The Test and Pro+ accounts use an End of Day (EOD) trailing loss. The Pro stage, however, uses an intraday trailing loss which is calculated based on your peak balance intraday and includes realised and unrealised gains.
