How hard is it to pass Take Profit Trader?
Last verified: 2026-03-21 | Official rules
Take Profit Trader's 1-step challenge is moderate to pass. You need to hit a 6% profit target while staying within 3% max drawdown and 2.2% daily loss limit. It is a single-phase evaluation.
Difficulty rating: Moderate
What makes it moderate:
- -EOD trailing drawdown raises the floor daily, reducing your margin for error as you profit
- -The 2.2% daily loss limit is tight -- two bad trades can end your day
- -No overnight holding forces you to day-trade only
The numbers on a $25,000 account:
- -You need to make: $1,500
- -You can lose at most: $1,500 total
- -Daily loss limit: $500
- -That means your risk-to-reward ratio for the challenge is 1:1.0
Tips to pass:
- -Risk no more than 1-2% per trade to stay within daily limits
- -Understand that trailing drawdown erodes your cushion as you profit -- trade smaller after winning streaks
- -Front-load your trading days early in the challenge for maximum flexibility
