The Funded Trader
Full reviewTake Profit Trader
Full reviewThe Funded Trader — Overview
The Funded Trader runs several challenge families with rules that vary by type. Royal is the two-phase flagship: 8%/5% targets, 5% daily / 10% static drawdown, 5 minimum days per phase, unlimited time, EAs and trade copiers allowed, and weekend holding permitted — but no news trading. Knight Pro is a one-phase route: 10% target against a 5% daily (soft-breach) and 8% trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance, no minimum days (3 profitable days of 0.25%+ required), news trading allowed, anytime 80% payouts, and a 50% Steadfast Gains consistency rule once funded. VIP status raises the split to 95%. Daily drawdown resets at 5pm ET on both.
Take Profit Trader — Overview
Take Profit Trader is a futures prop firm with a three-tier structure: Test (the eval, monthly fee), PRO (funded sim, 80/20 split, intraday trailing drawdown, day-one withdrawals, buffer requirement), and PRO+ (live account, 90/10 split, EOD drawdown, broker-rate commissions). Since March 2026, promotion to PRO+ is automatic for consistent traders — no manual invite needed. The daily loss limit was removed across all account sizes — the EOD trailing drawdown is now the only loss constraint on Test accounts. Rules of conduct: be consistent, no trading bots, no counter positions.
