Take Profit Trader
Futures · Trustpilot 4.3/5
Founded in Florida in late 2021, Take Profit Trader runs a three-tier path — Test, then PRO, then PRO+ on the live market — with withdrawals available from day one on a funded account. It excludes no countries, which is rare. The point to watch is the drawdown type changing between tiers, which catches many traders out.

Our analysis
Getting paid
FundedNext Futures keeps 95 % of profits, then pays quotidien (Rapid Daily), tous les 3 jours (Rapid Pro), tous les 5 jours de reference (Flex et Legacy). Take Profit Trader keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 0 days, then pays quotidien, a la demande des le premier jour. Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
Tooling differences
Take Profit Trader covers rithmic, quantower, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
How much history each firm has
Take Profit Trader has been running since 2021, 1 years longer than FundedNext Futures. On Trustpilot they sit at 4.5/5 and 4.3/5 respectively. Our trust pillar scores them 81/100 and 83/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
The price question
FundedNext Futures opens at $69.99 against $150 for Take Profit Trader, a substantial gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $129.99 for FundedNext Futures against $330 for Take Profit Trader. The headline fee is rarely the real cost, though: what matters is the price of a reset after a failed attempt, whether the fee comes back on the first payout, and whether an activation fee appears when you move to a funded account. Compare those three lines in the table above before deciding on price alone.
How the loss limit behaves
FundedNext Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %, with a 2 % daily limit. Take Profit Trader applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown. Both use the same model, so the difference plays out on the percentages rather than on the mechanism.
