PropFirmRefer earns a commission when you buy a challenge through our links, at no extra cost to you, and sells featured placement, which is labelled Featured wherever it appears. Neither changes a firm's Refer Score. How we rank. We are not a regulator, a broker or a financial adviser, and nothing here is investment advice.

Rule Check answers

What Rule Check reads when it calls this firm compatible or a conflict. Open one to read the rule in the firm’s own words.

Can you trade the news?Restricted

Test accounts may trade the news. PRO and PRO+ accounts must be flat with no orders from one minute before to one minute after FOMC statements, Non-Farm Payroll and CPI, plus Crude Oil Inventories (crude oil) and Bond Auctions (10-Year Note and 30-Year Bond).

“All PRO Accounts must be out of all open positions and have no open orders one minute before, during and one minute after any prohibited news event.”
Can you run an EA or a bot?No

Universal Trading Policies apply to Test, PRO and PRO+. The PRO rules add that all trades must be manually executed.

“#1: No Trading Bots or Algos. Automated trading systems, bots, or algorithmic execution tools are not permitted.”
Can you copy trades?Restricted

Allowed only across accounts you own and control, using approved copiers (Tradesyncer, TradeCopia, Affordable Indicators, Replikanto Compliance Edition, platform-native copiers). Copying or syncing with other users or identities is prohibited, as is using copiers for offsetting positions.

“TakeProfitTrader permits the use of trade copiers solely for managing accounts owned and controlled by you.”
Can you hold positions overnight?No

All accounts (Test, PRO, PRO+). TPT auto-closes open positions at 4:55 PM Eastern.

“Most products traded on CME Group exchanges (CME, NYMEX, COMEX, CBOT) are permitted, but positions may not be held from one session to the next.”
Can you hold over the weekend?No

Positions must be closed within each daily window, so nothing can be carried over the weekend.

“Positions cannot be carried from one trading day into the next.”
Is there a consistency rule?Yes

Test (evaluation) only: no single day may exceed 50% of total net profit. It raises the profit goal instead of failing the test. No consistency rule in PRO.

“To prevent the evaluation from being treated like a lottery ticket, no single trading day may exceed 50% of your total net profits.”
Minimum trading days3 days

Test account (evaluation)

“To show that you can make money and manage risk, you must trade for a minimum of 3 trading days.”
How often you can be paidDaily

PRO: from day one, but only profit above the buffer (equal to the max drawdown) is paid at 80%. PRO+: daily with no buffer.

“Payout eligibility is unchanged: still day-1 and daily in PRO.”

6 hidden rules you should know before you buy

Terms that can cost you an account or a payout after you have already paid. Hidden means easy to miss, not concealed. The firm publishes every one of these, usually in its terms or FAQ rather than on its pricing page. Tap a rule to read it, with the page we read it on and the date.

Payout restrictions1

  1. 01Profit inside the PRO buffer only pays out when the account closesVoids profit

    Money below the buffer (starting balance plus max drawdown) can only be withdrawn by terminating the PRO account. It is paid at 50% if the account traded 60 days or fewer.

    Why it matters
    Break it and the profit from those trades is taken off before you are paid.

Drawdown1

  1. 02PRO drawdown trails unrealized profit during the dayCloses the account

    In PRO the trailing drawdown moves up with open profit in real time, not at the end of the day like the test. Giving back a winning trade can liquidate the account.

    Why it matters
    Break it once and the account is closed, whatever the balance.
    Who it affects
    Every account on the programme, on funded accounts

Prohibited strategies2

  1. 03Long on one account and short on another gets both liquidatedCloses the account

    Opposite positions across any accounts you control are banned, including related pairs like ES and MES. Both accounts are liquidated and the profit is forfeited.

    Why it matters
    Break it once and the account is closed, whatever the balance.
    Who it affects
    Hedging, martingale, arbitrage and HFT, on challenge and funded accounts

  2. 04Big size only at the open or news can end fundingJudgement call

    Mostly trading large size at predictable moments like the open or key releases is treated as a simulation-only strategy. TPT says it may part ways without prior notice.

    Why it matters
    There is no fixed line. Someone at the firm decides whether you broke it.

Inactivity1

  1. 05PRO accounts need at least one trading day every weekJudgement call

    You must complete a round trip on at least one day each calendar week to keep a PRO or PRO+ account active. Contact support first if you need a break.

    Why it matters
    There is no fixed line. Someone at the firm decides whether you broke it.

Country restrictions1

  1. 06One login from a restricted country blocks the accountCloses the account

    A single trade or even viewing market data from a restricted country is a violation, including through a VPN or remote connection. The account is restricted or blocked without exception.

    Why it matters
    Break it once and the account is closed, whatever the balance.
