Funded Trading Plus vs Take Profit Trader
How Funded Trading Plus and Take Profit Trader stack up on profit split, pricing, payouts and the rules that bind a funded account — advertised claims separated from what we could verify.
Established track record and flexible payouts, with trailing drawdown and split-scaling as the main caveats.
Fast, flexible payouts and a clean one-step model, weighed against a lower PRO split and a simulated funded stage before PRO+.
On our five-dimension scorecard, Take Profit Trader rates marginally higher overall — but the dimension-by-dimension breakdown below matters more than the average.

Balanced view
Pros & cons
Funded Trading Plus
Strengths
- Long operating history (states 2013), unusually long for the prop space.
- Day-1 / on-demand first payout, then a 7-day cadence, with a low $50-over-start threshold.
- Scaling profit split that can reach 100% based on simulated-profit milestones.
- Multiple program types and platform choice (MT5, Match-Trader).
- Several programs carry no consistency rule and allow news trading.
Cons & open risks
- Default drawdown is trailing — repeatedly cited as the main drawback vs static-drawdown firms.
- HQ/legal entity and exact per-size pricing are not clearly disclosed on the homepage.
- Profit split starts at 80% and only rises after profit milestones, so early payouts are at the lower split.
- Consistency rules and terms differ by program (e.g. 2-Step Classic), which is easy to misread.
- Operates a simulated/evaluation model; 'payouts' are performance rewards, not live-market gains.
Take Profit Trader
Strengths
- Day-one withdrawals in the PRO account with no payout windows and no maximum withdrawal amount.
- One-step evaluation (Test) and a one-time $130 PRO fee rather than continued recurring billing.
- No scaling plan and identical contract limits between Test and PRO.
- Clear upgrade path to PRO+ live-market accounts with a higher 90/10 split and no buffer requirement.
Cons & open risks
- PRO accounts are simulated (SIM); the funded stage is not live until PRO+.
- PRO split is 80/20, lower than some competitors' funded splits until you upgrade.
- A buffer requirement applies in PRO (removed only in PRO+), and a news rule restricts event trading.
- The firm's own disclosure notes only 36.22% of Trading Tests were passed in 2025; exact minimum withdrawal not stated.
Our take
Which should you choose?
Take Profit Trader rates marginally higher on our scorecard, but "better" depends on what you trade and the rules you can live within. Read each verdict, then verify the figures for your exact product before buying.
Funded Trading Plus is one of the longer-running simulated prop firms, with a flexible day-1 payout option, multiple program types, and a split that scales to 100%. Its trailing drawdown and milestone-gated split are the main trade-offs, and corporate/pricing transparency on the homepage is limited. The Prop Examiner has no affiliate relationship with Funded Trading Plus at this time.
Take Profit Trader offers a streamlined one-step path to funding with genuine day-one withdrawals and no payout windows, which is a real differentiator. The trade-offs are an 80/20 PRO split, a buffer and news rule, and a simulated PRO stage until you upgrade to live PRO+ accounts. The Prop Examiner has no affiliate relationship with Take Profit Trader at this time.
