Firm Comparison
TPT built its reputation on one killer feature: daily payouts from day one. Both firms are futures-only. Both use Rithmic. The differences are in pricing, drawdown transitions, and what happens after you get funded.
Take Profit Trader (TPT) was founded in 2021 and holds a 4.4/5 Trustpilot rating from over 8,800 reviews. Daily payouts, no consistency rule on funded accounts, and a path to PRO+ at 90/10 have made it one of the fastest-growing futures prop firms.
DayTraders.com was built around automated infrastructure, multiple drawdown options, and a path to live funded trading. This comparison covers the current state of both firms.
TPT is cheaper for fast passers (1-month pass). But if you take 2+ months, the subscription accumulates while DayTraders.com's fee stays fixed regardless of how long you take. Visit the pricing page for current rates.
EOD trailing drawdown. Floor updates at session close. 6% max loss ($3,000 on 50K). No daily loss limit (removed Jan 2025). Intraday swings do not raise the floor.
Switches to intraday trailing. Significantly tighter. Intraday dips that recovered during evaluation now trigger violations on the funded account.
DayTraders.com maintains the same drawdown rules between evaluation and funded phases. No mid-transition surprises. Whatever you trade during evaluation, you can trade when funded under the same risk logic.
TPT wins on payout speed (daily vs. every 8 days on DayTraders.com Pro). DayTraders.com wins on structural simplicity (no buffer calculation, no PRO-to-PRO+ transition) and gives 100% on Pro/S2F accounts. For traders who prioritize daily cash flow, TPT has the edge. For traders who prioritize consistent rules and a simpler model, DayTraders.com has the edge.
TPT requires 5 minimum days vs. DayTraders.com's 2. DayTraders.com allows 10 contracts vs. TPT's 6 on the same account size. TPT has no consistency rule in evaluation while DayTraders.com enforces 50%. TPT uses EOD drawdown (more forgiving intraday) while DayTraders.com Trailing uses intraday trailing (tighter but with more contracts).

25K to 150K. Max 15 contracts on the largest account. No multi-account scaling beyond count limit.
