Simulated results

Three trader profiles, 10,000 simulated evaluations each against Take Profit Trader's exact rules. Pass rate is the eval only. Payout is conditional on passing. Joint withdrawal is the probability of reaching a first payout end-to-end. P&L is expected value over 50 attempted challenges at the mid-tier account.

Rules explained

How Take Profit Trader's drawdown works

Take Profit Trader uses a static drawdown of 3% of the starting balance. Static drawdown is the friendliest structure — the floor doesn't move as you profit. See trailing drawdown explained for the full mechanics.

How the daily loss limit is calculated

Take Profit Trader has no daily loss limit on the standard evaluation, which is unusually forgiving. The trade-off is that the max-drawdown gate does more of the work of ending losing runs.

Consistency rule

Take Profit Trader has no consistency rule on the standard evaluation. See the consistency rule explained for the full mechanics and how it changes your real pass rate.

Is Take Profit Trader worth it?

TPT is one of the friendlier eval structures — static drawdown, no daily loss on core plans, generous max days. Simulated pass rates run high across archetypes. Where it costs you is the profit split and payout cadence versus more aggressive competitors.

Frequently asked

What is Take Profit Trader's trailing drawdown?+

Take Profit Trader uses a static drawdown of 3% of the starting balance. This is the single biggest driver of long-run pass rate for most traders.

What win rate do you need to pass Take Profit Trader?+

Not a fixed number. Our simulator runs three archetypes against Take Profit Trader's exact rules: the balanced 50%-win-rate trader passes 58.4% of the time; the scalper archetype and swing archetype produce meaningfully different numbers on the firm page above. Passing is a function of edge, variance, and how the ruleset punishes lumpy P&L — not win rate in isolation.

How much does Take Profit Trader cost long-term?+

The mid-tier Take Profit Trader evaluation is $150. Over 50 attempted challenges, our balanced-archetype simulation nets $17k — that's eval fees paid on failures netted against payouts collected on the joint 22.4% of runs that reach a withdrawal.

Does Take Profit Trader have a consistency rule?+

No consistency rule on the evaluation for the standard plan. Verify current terms — firms add and remove these rules regularly.

Is Take Profit Trader worth it in 2026?+

TPT is one of the friendlier eval structures — static drawdown, no daily loss on core plans, generous max days. Simulated pass rates run high across archetypes. Where it costs you is the profit split and payout cadence versus more aggressive competitors.
