Test: end-of-day trailing drawdown
In the Test, the drawdown is only calculated at the end of the trading day, not during open trades. Your minimum balance follows your highest end-of-day balance, and stops once it reaches your starting balance.
- Start at $25,000. Drawdown $1,500, so your minimum balance is $23,500.
- Day 1 you make $1,000. End-of-day balance $26,000, minimum moves to $24,500.
- It keeps trailing until it reaches $25,000, then it stays there for good.
PRO: intraday trailing drawdown
In PRO, the drawdown trails in real time, including open profit. Every new high in unrealized profit raises your minimum balance, even if the trade comes back. It still stops trailing at your starting balance.
- Drawdown $1,500, minimum balance $23,500.
- A trade reaches +$1,000 open profit. Minimum jumps to $24,500 right away.
- You close it for +$500. Balance $25,500, minimum stays $24,500.
- Your room is now $1,000, not $1,500, even though you made money.
The trap: what worked in the Test can blow a PRO account. Letting a winner run and give back half is fine on EOD, but on intraday it permanently tightens your drawdown.
Your max loss today
TPT has no daily loss limit, so your max loss today is simply your balance minus your minimum balance. In PRO, that number shrinks every time open profit sets a new high, so check it after every trade, not just in the morning.
The 50% consistency rule
To pass the Test, your best day must be under 50% of your total net profit. Breaking it doesn't fail the Test, it just raises your profit target.
- Target $3,000. Your days: +$2,000, +$600, +$500. Total $3,100.
- Best day $2,000 is 65% of your profit, so you don't qualify yet.
- You need more than $4,000 total ($2,000 × 2) to pass.
PRO payouts: the buffer
You can withdraw from day one in PRO, but only after you build a buffer equal to your max drawdown. On a 50K account that means a balance of $52,000. Above that, you keep 80% of your profits. You also need to trade at least one day per calendar week to keep the PRO account active.
Consistent PRO traders can be invited to PRO+, a live account with an end-of-day drawdown and a 90/10 split.
FAQ
Is Take Profit Trader's drawdown intraday or end of day?
Both, depending on the account. The Test uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown. PRO uses an intraday trailing drawdown that includes open profit. PRO+ goes back to end of day.
Does Take Profit Trader have a daily loss limit?
No. Only the trailing drawdown can end your account.
When does the TPT drawdown stop trailing?
When your minimum balance reaches your starting balance (for example $50,000 on a 50K). From then on it stays fixed.
How fast can I pass the TPT Test?
In 3 trading days at the earliest, as long as you hit the target and your best day is under 50% of your profit.
