Where is my drawdown line on the TakeProfit Trader 25K Account?
Your line sits at $23,500, so you can lose $1,500 more before this TakeProfit Trader account fails.
Lock not engaged yet — the line still trails your peak. Reach a peak of $26,500 and it locks at $25,000.
Does my best day pass the TakeProfit Trader consistency rule?
Best day is 50% of the profit target — the cap is 50% (any single day must stay under $750).
You clear the TakeProfit Trader consistency rule.

25K Account
$25,000 account
Evaluation
- Profit target
- $1,500
- Max loss
- $1,500Trailing (end-of-day) — Trails your end-of-day balance — it only moves up when you close a day at a new high, then locks at breakeven (your starting balance) once you've earned the buffer.
- Daily loss limit
- None
- Min trading days
- 5 days
- Consistency rule
- No single day may exceed 50% of total profit
- Max position
- 3 contractsAdvisory — the most you can hold at once; released as your balance grows.
- Max loss trails your END-OF-DAY balance (not intraday) and locks at your starting balance — it moves up only when you close a day at a new high.
- No daily loss limit — TakeProfit Trader removed the daily loss cap in January 2025; the EOD trailing max loss is the only drawdown line.
- Consistency is a fixed day-cap on the Test: no single day may exceed 50% of the PROFIT TARGET, and going over doesn't fail you — your best day just has to fit before you pass. Dropped once funded (PRO).
- Max position size on the 25K is 3 contracts (published as a contract cap; no micro ratio is stated at checkout).
PRO (Funded)
- Profit target
- None — funded, keep the rules
- Max loss
- $1,500Trailing (intraday) — Follows your intraday peak (open profit included), then locks at breakeven (your starting balance) once you've earned the buffer.
- Daily loss limit
- None
- Min trading days
- None
- Consistency rule
- None
- Max position
- 3 contractsAdvisory — the most you can hold at once; released as your balance grows.
- PRO uses an INTRADAY trailing drawdown off your PEAK balance including realized AND unrealized gains — as open profit rises, your Minimum Account Balance rises in real time. Example ($25K account, $1,500 drawdown): +$1,000 unrealized lifts the minimum to $24,500; close +$500 and balance is $25,500 but the minimum stays $24,500. The line trails up until it reaches your STARTING balance, then locks and no longer moves.
- If your balance touches the Minimum Account Balance at any moment — through realized OR unrealized losses — the account is liquidated immediately.
- Weekly trading requirement: trade at least one day per calendar week (Sunday–Friday); a traded day means at least one round-trip.
- No counter (opposing/hedged) positions on Test, PRO or PRO+ accounts. No bots or algorithmic trading.
- Prohibited news: be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after FOMC (Wed 2:00 PM ET), NFP (Fri 8:30 AM ET, monthly) and CPI; plus Crude Oil Inventories (crude products) and Bond Auctions (10Y / 30Y). On a limit up / limit down move, exit before it or you can lose the account.

- 2026-07-13 PRO (funded) rules primary-sourced: intraday trailing drawdown off your peak balance including unrealized gains, trailing up until it reaches your starting balance then locking; immediate liquidation if balance touches the minimum. Added the weekly trading requirement (1 day/week), the no-counter-positions and no-bots rules, and the prohibited-news windows (FOMC / NFP / CPI + crude inventories / bond auctions). The $25K PRO drawdown ($1,500) is confirmed; the larger-size drawdowns remain on the prior encode.
- 2026-07-07 Consistency clarification: exceeding the 50% best-day share does NOT fail the Test — TakeProfit Trader raises your required profit until your best day is back under 50% of total. Our tracker now grades it as a pass-gate, never a breach.
- 2026-07-05 Removed the daily loss limit — TakeProfit Trader eliminated the daily loss cap in January 2025; the end-of-day trailing max loss is now the only drawdown line.
- 2026-07-04 Initial rule set encoded: end-of-day trailing max loss; hard daily loss limit; 5 minimum trading days; 50% consistency.
