When can I request my first payout after Take Profit Trader's Test?

After passing Take Profit Trader's Test, you can request from the simulated PRO account from day one once the balance is above its size-specific payout buffer, with no open positions or working orders when you request. Only profit above that buffer can be withdrawn. There are no minimum days, profitable-day requirements or payout window, and no PRO consistency rule. The PRO profit share is 80%.

What does day one mean?

It means the first day in PRO, after the Test. Daily requests are possible after that, once the buffer condition is met. Passing the Test or simply reaching PRO does not itself create withdrawable profit.

The account must have profit above the retained balance in the table. Reaching that balance exactly leaves no excess above it to withdraw. There is no maximum withdrawal amount for profit above the buffer; the 80% share applies to that profit.

By size

These are full account balances: each size's starting balance plus its buffer. A withdrawal must leave the account at or above the relevant balance.

PRO account sizeBalance to retain after a withdrawal
$25,000$26,500
$50,000$52,000
$75,000$77,500
$100,000$103,000
$150,000$154,500

While PRO remains open, the withdrawal rule applies only to profit above the buffer. After the PRO account is closed, 50% of the buffer zone can be withdrawn. That is a separate closure provision, not permission to withdraw into the buffer while continuing to trade the open account.

What happens at the request?

There must be no open positions or working orders when the withdrawal is requested. The retained payout balance still applies after a withdrawal.

Take Profit Trader may later invite a PRO trader to a live PRO+ account, where the stated share is 90%. That invitation and share do not change the 80% PRO rule described here.

Day-one request eligibility comes before review and payment. See the stages of a payout for that distinction.

What is not established

The reviewed pages do not say whether a withdrawal moves the minimum balance under the loss rule. That loss-rule minimum, which stops trailing at the starting balance, is separate from the higher payout balance in the table. The payout-buffer rule does not establish how the loss-rule minimum behaves after a withdrawal; confirm that effect before relying on a post-withdrawal loss allowance.

The evidence

Each value exactly as the account pages show it. Its ⓘ opens the conditions, any calculation and the sources.
