Take Profit Trader vs Lucid Trading
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 Lucid Trading still wins.

| Eval cost | 150K $360/mo list, $216/mo with (40% off for life); 50K $102/mo discounted | LucidPro 150K $370 one-time, ~$185 with LAB 50%; Pro 50K ~$93 one-time |
| Activation | $130 one-time — waived with | $0 |
| Drawdown | mixed | EOD |
| Consistency | 50% in eval (no single day >50% of net profit); none stated when funded | Pro 40% (carries into funded); Flex/Daily 50% eval-only; Direct 20% per payout cycle — funded-stage rules are a denial trigger |
| Profit split | 80/20 (PRO sim) → 90/10 (PRO+ live) | 90/10 on all new accounts (pre-Nov-2025 accounts kept 100% of first $10K) |
| 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. | Pro: request every 3 days once above buffer (start + max loss + $100, ~$154,600 on 150K); Daily: daily requests; min $500; per-cycle caps $1,000-$3,500; ~15-minute processing, same-day ACH common. |

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.

Terms remain good: EOD drawdown that locks at breakeven +$100, ~15-minute payout processing every 3 days (or daily), $185 one-time for a 150K, $0 activation, bots and stacking allowed. But four account-type restructures in under a year and funded-stage consistency rules (Pro 40% / Direct 20%) — a known denial trigger — mean the next dollar is better placed at MFF or Tradeify. Keep milking existing accounts.
