Take Profit Trader review 2027: payouts from day one, and a drawdown that changes

Take Profit Trader, or TPT, was founded in 2021 in Orlando, Florida, by James Sixsmith, a former professional hockey player. Its reputation rests on one feature: a funded trader can withdraw profits from the first day, with no cap on the amount. That is true, and it comes with a condition that many buyers overlook. The type of drawdown changes when a trader moves from the evaluation to the funded account. This review explains the structure for 2027.

Three stages

TPT has one path with three stages. The Test is the evaluation. PRO is the simulated funded account. PRO+ is a live account. Each stage has different rules, and the changes between them matter more than anything else about the firm.

The Test

The Test is a one-step evaluation on accounts from $25,000 to $150,000. The profit target is 6% of the account. The drawdown trails on an end-of-day basis, so intraday swings do not move the limit. A consistency rule applies. Tests are billed monthly, from about $150, and a one-time activation fee is charged on passing unless a promotion waives it.

The PRO account and the switch

On the PRO account the drawdown becomes an intraday trailing limit. It now follows the highest point of open profit during the session. A trade that goes well and then retraces pulls the limit up behind it. Traders who passed the Test with a style that lets winners run and give some back often lose the PRO account quickly. This is the origin of the firm's reputation as easy to pass and hard to keep.

The buffer

Withdrawals on PRO are available from day one, but only from profit above a buffer zone. The buffer is an amount of profit that must stay in the account to protect the drawdown. In practice a trader has to build the buffer first. After that, profits above it can be withdrawn daily, with no upper limit. The split on PRO is 80%.

PRO+

PRO+ is a live account with a 90% split and an end-of-day drawdown. Since March 2026 promotion has been automatic once a trader meets the published criteria, and before that it was by invitation. Reaching PRO+ returns the trader to the more forgiving drawdown model.

Payout speed

Withdrawals are usually processed within one to two days. This part of the firm's promise is well supported by trader reports.

Platforms

TPT supports a wide range of futures platforms through Tradovate and Rithmic, including NinjaTrader and TradingView. Contract limits scale with account size, from three contracts on the smallest account to fifteen on the largest.

Rules

Positions must be closed before the end of the session. News trading restrictions apply on some accounts. An inactivity rule closes dormant accounts. The firm prohibits practices such as hedging across accounts.

Reputation

TPT has around nine thousand public reviews with a good average rating. Most praise the payout speed and support. Critical reviews describe accounts voided on the first day for alleged rule breaches and platform issues with stops. Independent trust scores are high.

Pros and cons

• Day-one payouts: daily withdrawals with no cap above the buffer.
• Simple structure: one evaluation and one path.
• Live account: automatic promotion to PRO+.
• Platforms: broad choice.
• Drawdown switch: intraday trailing on the PRO account.
• Costs: monthly fee plus activation.

Who is Take Profit Trader for?

TPT suits scalpers and tight intraday traders who bank profits quickly and rarely give back open gains. Traders who hold for larger moves will find the PRO drawdown difficult.

Verdict

Take Profit Trader delivers fast, uncapped payouts as advertised. For 2027 it works well for the right style. Practise under an intraday trailing limit before you pass the Test.
