@alexgoingturbo Reports $2,000 Payout Approved by Take Profit Trader
On August 14, the trader @alexgoingturbo posted on X that a $2,000 withdrawal had been approved by Take Profit Trader. He described it as his first payout from the firm, with $1,600 reaching his account.
The proof is a short public post on X, accompanied by a screenshot of the withdrawal approval. The trader stated the gross amount as $2,000 and referred to the net received as a $1,600 payout, framing the event as the moment he finally cleared what he called his TPT curse. The post is dated Thursday, August 14, with the approval falling in August 2025.
Most of the post is a candid note on strategy fit. The trader said he averages into winning trades, an approach he believes clashes with trailing drawdown rules because a reversal can erase his maximum drawdown buffer. For Take Profit Trader specifically, he wrote that he plans to stick to base hit moves and scalp toward the buffer rather than press size. That self-assessment matters because the firm reports that its PRO stage uses intraday trailing drawdown, widely regarded as the harshest of the common drawdown mechanics and a frequent cause of breached funded accounts.
“Finally broke my TPT curse. I am terrible at trading trailing drawdown.”— @alexgoingturbo on X
The wider context fits the firm profile. Take Profit Trader, founded in Orlando in 2021, offers US futures accounts from $25,000 to $150,000 across NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView, with an 80/20 split on PRO and 90/10 on PRO+. The firm reports no cap on withdrawal amounts, though a buffer zone must be cleared before PRO payouts can be requested. The trader's reference to slowly scalping his way to getting the buffer aligns with that published structure.
The post does not establish several details a reader might want. The account size is not stated, the instruments traded are not named, and the holding period that produced the profit is not disclosed. There is no public ledger here beyond the screenshot and the trader's own words, so the proof speaks to a single approved withdrawal rather than to a sustained track record.
What the evidence does support is narrow but specific: a named trader, a dated public post, a stated gross amount of $2,000, and a first payout from Take Profit Trader documented in his own account. For readers weighing the firm, the value of this proof is its candor about the trailing drawdown constraint as much as the dollar figure itself.
