Is PRO a live account?

PRO is simulated. Standard PRO+ is a later live-market account reached through invitation and onboarding, with a 90% trader share.

How quickly can I pass the Test?

The current rule requires at least three active trading days, the profit target and best-day consistency below 50%. Each active day needs at least one trade.

Does FUTURES40 waive activation?

Yes. FUTURES40 gives 40% off for life and the PRO activation fee is waived. The calculator removes the $130 while the coupon is on. Confirm both at checkout, because terms can change.

Does a reset restart the subscription month?

No. It provides a fresh Test trading account while leaving the subscription renewal date unchanged.

Does drawdown change after passing?

Yes. Test uses EOD balance highs; PRO follows intraday realized and unrealized equity highs. Both lock at the starting nominal balance. Standard PRO+ has its own $0-based live structure.

Can I hold positions through major news?

PRO and PRO+ require no positions or orders one minute before, during and one minute after prohibited events. Check the official calendar and current rule.

Can I withdraw on day one?

PRO allows eligible profit above the buffer from day one. The buffer equals the drawdown allowance for the original size. Standard PRO+ has no payout buffer; payment settlement is separate.

Is the PRO buffer permanently inaccessible?

The current October 9 article separately permits withdrawal of 50% of the buffer after the account is closed. That is distinct from ordinary 80% above-buffer withdrawals.

One Test. Five account sizes.

Start with a monthly Test subscription, then qualify for a simulated PRO account. Standard PRO+ is a later live upgrade by invitation. The cards below show stages of one journey.

The five Test sizes share the same route: a minimum of three trading days and a best day below 50% of net profit. PRO removes that consistency test, but introduces intraday drawdown and a payout buffer. PRO+ is live and invitation-only.

FUTURES40 takes 40% off for life and waives the PRO activation fee. Stacking with other offers is not assumed.

Test is a recurring subscription, not a one-time fee. With FUTURES40 (40% off for life) monthly Test fees are $90 / $102 / $147 / $198 / $216 for 25K / 50K / 75K / 100K / 150K, against standard $150 / $170 / $245 / $330 / $360. Entry totals assume one Test month and no PRO activation fee with the coupon on ($130 without it); resets and other charges are excluded.

Your drawdown changes after the Test.

Test uses end-of-day drawdown; PRO follows intraday equity highs. The current floor still applies to open losses. Standard PRO+ returns to EOD drawdown.

Platforms and market access.

TPT lists 15+ platforms. CQG options include NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView; Rithmic options include R|Trader, Quantower and MotiveWave. Approved futures span CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX; confirm product access and licensing for your chosen platform.

What unlocks a payout.

PRO allows eligible profit above the buffer to be withdrawn from day one. Standard PRO+ has no payout buffer. Test profits cannot be withdrawn.

Eligibility at the selected size

PRO pays an 80% trader share on eligible withdrawals; standard PRO+ pays 90%. “Day one” describes eligibility after the required buffer is built, not guaranteed payment arrival.

Payout limits

Every size: PRO buffer and stage terms

There is no advertised maximum above-buffer PRO withdrawal. Eligibility, available profit and compliance still apply. The current October 9 PRO article separately permits 50% of the buffer after account closure.

Processing and payment methods

Moving profits to the wallet and withdrawing the wallet to a payment provider are separate steps. A small wallet withdrawal can incur a TPT fee.

04 / RESEARCH

The full cost of an account.

Monthly Test fees, the standard PRO activation fee, resets and wallet withdrawal charges have separate terms. Open each item for its scope.

The rules that matter.

Test qualification and PRO payout eligibility are different tests. Read the stage alongside the restriction and its consequence.

06 / RESEARCH

From Test to PRO and beyond.

Choose a size, pass the Test, trade PRO and request eligible profit. A standard PRO+ invitation is a separate discretionary decision.
