@RIPS Reports $2,500 NQ Session, Names Take Profit Trader

On Thursday April 23, the X account @RIPS posted that he made $2,500 trading NQ futures during a morning livestream, listing Take Profit Trader among the prop firms he uses. The post was accompanied by a video thumbnail.

The post on X states a $2,500 result on the Nasdaq 100 futures contract (NQ) captured during the trader's free morning livestream at 8 AM EST. The accompanying media is a video thumbnail rather than a brokerage payout certificate, and the dollar figure is described as session profit rather than a confirmed withdrawal from a funded account.

@RIPS frames the trade as the product of patience, writing that he waited for the setup and avoided forcing entries. The post lists Tradeify, Take Profit Trader, Apex, and Lucid as prop firms he promotes through an affiliate code, which means the reference to Take Profit Trader is a promotional mention rather than evidence that this specific $2,500 was generated on a Take Profit Trader account.

“Clean levels. Clean execution. No forcing. Just waited for the setup and got paid.”— @RIPS on X

Take Profit Trader, founded in 2021 in Orlando and focused on US futures only, offers accounts from $25K to $150K across its TPT 25 through TPT 150 sizes. The firm reports day-one payouts on its PRO program with no minimum number of profitable days required, and no withdrawal cap on either account type. None of these mechanics are confirmed as the source of the figure shown in the post.

What this proof does establish is narrow. It documents a public claim of a $2,500 NQ session on a specific date and links the trader to Take Profit Trader through a promotional code. It does not establish the account size, the funded program tier, the drawdown rules in force, or that the $2,500 cleared as a withdrawal. Readers evaluating funded trading should weigh livestream session totals separately from approved payouts.
