Take Profit Trader vs Elite Trader Funding
Our call: Take Profit Trader (9.0 vs 5.0). Day-one uncapped withdrawals and a genuine live 90/10 tier (PRO+) — but the row-by-row below shows where Elite Trader Funding still wins.
| Score | 9.0 / 10 | 5.0 / 10 |
| Eval cost | 150K $360/mo list, $216/mo with (40% off for life); 50K $102/mo discounted | 150K 1-Step $347/mo list, ~$35 first month with (+$247 activation); 50K 1-Step ~$21 first month |
| Activation | $130 one-time — waived with | $87/mo or one-time $157-$307 by plan/size; DTF none |
| Drawdown | mixed | mixed |
| Consistency | 50% in eval (no single day >50% of net profit); none stated when funded | None on standard evals; de-facto at payout: a day counts only at $200+ AND ≥23% of best day (ATD rule); Fast Track 30-40% |
| Profit split | 80/20 (PRO sim) → 90/10 (PRO+ live) | Up to 100% of sim profits until $25K cap; LIVE ELITE 80/20 |
| Payouts | Withdrawals from day one of PRO, daily/unlimited requests, ~12h processing, no max cap; free over $250. Full 80% split above a buffer equal to max drawdown; PRO+ live is 90/10 with no buffer. | Cycles of 8-10 Active Trade Days; per-cycle caps $2,250-$3,000 on 150K; same-day approval; $25K lifetime sim cap per trader, then forced transition to LIVE ELITE (80/20, daily, uncapped). |

Take Profit Trader in one paragraph
Still top-3: day-one uncapped withdrawals, no daily loss limit, EOD drawdown in the eval, and a real live-capital path at 90/10 via PRO+. making the 40% discount lifetime and waiving the $130 activation is quietly the best recurring deal of the 16. Watch the trap: PRO (sim-funded) switches to intraday trailing drawdown, the most common reason passers fail in week one.

The 90%-off code makes a 150K about $35 for the first month, and there is a real live track (LIVE ELITE, 80/20, uncapped, daily payouts). But the $25K lifetime sim payout cap per trader, discretionary forced live transition, grindy ATD payout mechanics, and intraday trailing on the 1-Step make it a cheap experiment, nothing more. Structurally engineered to limit sim extraction — size expectations to ~$25K per identity.
