What AlgoLift knows about the Take Profit Trader 50K Test
With no edge at all, how does this account treat you?
4,000 simulated years of a coin-flip trader (no edge, no costs) through every rule. Pick how much a typical day moves.

−$954
86% of years end down
The mean over 4,000 years. In a typical year most no-edge traders still lose money: the share is under Net a year.
Trading small costs time, not much else
At $100 a day an attempt passes 14% of the time and takes 189 trading days. At $300 a day the odds are 27% and the wait falls to 49. There is no clock, so slow is allowed; a monthly fee is what punishes it.
Its best size for a no-edge trader: $1,600 a day
There a trader with no edge averages +$833 a year after every fee, and 53% of simulated years still end down. The rulebook, not the trader, is paying: the cap on losses and the payouts on lucky runs.
A slow evaluation rebills and carries on
Each month unpassed costs another $102, and the evaluation keeps its balance and days. The simulation charges every renewal.
Simulated results. They have inherent limitations. Read the full statementHide the statement
These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.

Conduct
- Identity check
When the firm checks the trader's identity: before purchase, before funding, or before the first payout.
Identity verification (KYC) is required of every new registrant before buying a first Test; a signed tax form is required before the first withdrawal.
Verified, checked 16 Oct 2026Source: takeprofittraderhelp.zendesk.com
- Breaking a rule
What the firm does when a rule is broken (a soft breach that pauses the day, a hard breach that closes the account, profits withheld), as it states it.
Breaking a Test rule fails the account (a paid reset restarts it); touching the drawdown liquidates at once; counter positions liquidate the accounts and forfeit their profit; policy breaches can bring profit forfeiture, reset, closure or a ban.
Verified, checked 16 Oct 2026Source: takeprofittraderhelp.zendesk.com
- Firm's discretion
Decisions the firm reserves to itself (reviews before a payout or a live move, closing accounts it judges to break the spirit of the rules).
PRO+ promotion is solely TPT's call after a holistic review; TPT may part ways without notice with traders whose trading looks simulation-only or reckless, may place traders in PRO+ Development, and may end site access for any reason.

Rules checked against the firms’ own pages, most recently on 21 October 2026. This is a summary of each firm’s published rules, not financial advice and not a recommendation of any firm.
