Take Profit Trader vs FuturesElite – Prop Firm Comparison

Take Profit Trader distinguishes PRO and PRO+ accounts. Their profit-sharing terms should be compared separately. Take Profit Trader official rules.

FuturesElite has multiple program-specific payout rulebooks. Prime and Elite do not have the same profitable-day or buffer requirements. FuturesElite official rules; FuturesElite official program information.

PRO pays an 80% share. Withdrawals can be eligible from day one, but ordinary withdrawals first require the account-size buffer; for a $50,000 PRO account the buffer balance is $52,000. Take Profit Trader official rules.

The Prime first-payout guide requires the funded profit target, buffer and account-size minimum, with no minimum payout trading days. The 25K Elite guide instead requires six profitable days of at least $100 each and caps requests at 50% of remaining profit up to $1,000. FuturesElite official rules; FuturesElite official program information.

Taking profits from inside the PRO buffer is a different process that requires account termination and uses separate profit-sharing conditions. Day-one eligibility does not remove the buffer requirement. Take Profit Trader official rules.

For 25K Elite there is no funded profit goal, consistency rule or buffer, but KYC and the profitable-day conditions still apply. Do not extend those exemptions to Prime or Instant accounts. FuturesElite official rules; FuturesElite official program information.
