What's the catch?
TakeProfitTrader has been a trusted leader in the prop firm space for years. We created this course to lower the barrier to entry to trading futures because we know it can be overwhelming for new traders.

While the course uses TakeProfit's industry-leading payout policy and program as examples, the knowledge within the course can be broadly applied to trading with any reputable firm.

There's no catch. We offer the course for free and hope you consider TakeProfitTrader in your trading journey!
What's the process to becoming a funded futures trader with TakeProfitTrader?
After you've completed the course, you'll be ready to start your first evaluation!

Evals are designed to show that you can manage risk and hit profit targets as a new trader in a simulated trading environment. Risk management and consistency is something all prop firms look for and each prop firm has their own unique set of requirements to pass the test.

At TakeProfitTrader you can pass in as little as 5 days and once you've passed, you're officially a funded trader!

After passing you'll be moved to a PRO account where you can start to hone your strategy and execute winning trades for profit. You're still in a simulated environment but you are trading for withdrawable profit and our industry leading payout policy allows you to get paid from day-one and daily in a PRO account. Other firms make you wait but we believe you should be able to take your profits when its convenient for you, not just convenient for the firm. Yes, even if that means withdrawing every day!

Finally, the best PRO traders are eligible for a live review and given the opportunity to be transitioned into a PRO+ account where they’re able to trade the firm’s real capital on the live market.
How long will it take me to complete the course?
The course is broken up into 8 individual video modules totaling 82 minutes. It was designed to cover the basics every new trader should know before venturing into futures prop trading.

Watch at your own pace and take notes as you go!
