@waserek Reports 5 Burned Take Profit Trader 150K Funded Accounts
In a July 28 to August 1, 2025 weekly summary posted on X, trader @waserek reported burning five 150K funded accounts at Take Profit Trader, listed alongside gains at five other prop firms that netted +$44,228.60 for the week.
The post is a weekly summary covering July 28 to August 1, 2025, in which @waserek tallies results across six prop firms and reports a combined net of +$44,228.60 for the week. The Take Profit Trader line in that ledger is not a payout. It reads: "Burned 5x150K TakeProfitTrader funded accounts," recorded under the week's losses rather than under withdrawals or profits.
The trader frames the week candidly, citing "too many accounts" lost and "multiple TILTs," while still claiming a tenth consecutive green week driven by gains on FTMO, Tradeify, LucidTrading, and TradeDay. No dollar figure, instrument, or strategy is attached to the Take Profit Trader accounts in the post, and no payout certificate from Take Profit Trader is shown. The proof therefore documents account losses at the firm, not a withdrawal from it.

Context matters for how those five accounts were lost. Take Profit Trader, founded in 2021 in Orlando and focused on US futures, runs a PRO funded stage that the firm reports uses an intraday trailing drawdown alongside a hard daily loss limit. The firm itself lists that combination as the mechanic most often responsible for blown funded accounts, which is consistent with a trader cycling through five 150K accounts in a single tilt-heavy week.
What the post does not establish is equally important. There is no evidence here of a Take Profit Trader payout, no account number, no instrument traded on those accounts, and no screenshot tied to the firm. The +$44,228.60 headline is a cross-firm net that excludes Take Profit Trader on the profit side; on the Take Profit Trader side, the only documented outcome for the week is five funded accounts burned.
