TakeProfitTrader Max Capital Limit: How Much Can I Scale Up To?

Quick Answer: TakeProfitTrader caps you at 5 funded accounts maximum (PRO + PRO+ combined). With the largest account size at $150K, your theoretical max buying power is $750K (5 × $150K). That's respectable for most traders, but it's a hard ceiling—you can't scale beyond it no matter how profitable you become.

The Account Size & Capital Limits Breakdown

Key takeaways from the table:

• Max theoretical capital: $750K (5 × $150K accounts)
• Max combined contracts: 50 ES or 500 MES across all accounts
• You can mix account sizes (e.g., 2 × $50K + 3 × $100K = $350K total)

The 5-Account Hard Limit

TPT's rules are explicit: Maximum 5 PRO/PRO+ funded accounts total. This includes any combination of account phases and sizes.

What counts toward the limit:

• PRO accounts (simulated funded)
• PRO+ accounts (live funded)
• Any account size ($25K, $50K, $100K, $150K)

What does NOT count:

• Test accounts (unlimited evals allowed)
• Breached/failed accounts (once dead, they don't count toward your 5)

Example scenarios:

• Scenario 1: 3 PRO accounts + 2 PRO+ accounts = 5 total (at limit)
• Scenario 2: 5 PRO accounts, qualify 2 for PRO+ = still 5 total (PRO converts to PRO+, doesn't add)
• Scenario 3: 4 funded accounts + 10 Test accounts = 4 toward limit (Test doesn't count)

What happens if you try for a 6th account? TPT's system blocks PRO activation. You must close/breach one of your existing funded accounts before activating another.

Is $750K Enough? (Reality Check)

For 95% of traders: Yes. Most prop traders never consistently manage more than 2-3 funded accounts. The psychological load of managing 5 accounts simultaneously—even with copy trading—is significant.

For serious scalers: $750K is limiting. Compare to competitors:

• Apex Trader Funding: 20 accounts max = $6M potential (20 × $300K)
• TopOne Futures: Multiple accounts allowed, no disclosed hard limit
• Bulenox: 10 accounts max = $2M potential (10 × $200K)

TPT's $750K cap ranks in the bottom third for scaling potential. If your goal is to manage $2M-$5M in prop capital, TPT isn't your firm.

Who hits the ceiling:

• Professional scalpers running copy trading across maximum accounts
• Traders who've been consistently funded for 12+ months
• Anyone generating $50K+ monthly in prop profits

Who doesn't:

• Beginners (struggle to maintain 1 account)
• Intermediate traders (happy with 2-3 accounts, $150K-$300K total)
• Part-time traders (1-2 accounts sufficient)

Practical Scaling Path to Max Capital

Month 1-2: Pass first Test, activate PRO, prove 30-day consistency. Capital: $50K-$150K (1 account).

Month 3-4: Add second Test account, pass it, activate second PRO. Set up copy trading. Capital: $100K-$300K (2 accounts).

Month 5-7: Add third account. By now you should have 1 in PRO+, 2 in PRO. Capital: $150K-$450K (3 accounts).

Month 8-12: Scale to 4-5 accounts. Requires serious consistency and mental bandwidth. Capital: $200K-$750K (4-5 accounts).

Reality: Most traders plateau at 2-3 accounts ($100K-$300K capital). Managing 5 funded accounts with independent drawdowns, payout schedules, and platform logins is a full-time job.

Contract Limits: The Hidden Constraint

Even if you hit 5 × $150K accounts ($750K total), your per-account contract limits still apply. You can't pool capital.

Example:

• 5 × $150K accounts = 50 ES contracts total theoretical max
• But each account limited to 10 ES individually
• With copy trading: 1 trade × 10 ES per account = 50 ES exposure (uses full limit)

Safe position sizing reality:

• Risk management best practice = 1-2% risk per trade
• $150K account with 1% risk = $1,500 max risk per trade
• With 8-point stops on ES = 3-4 contracts recommended (not the 10 max)
• Across 5 accounts: 15-20 ES contracts realistic, not 50

Bottom line: The $750K capital sounds impressive, but prudent risk management means you're using 30-40% of max contract limits. Real-world usable leverage is closer to $300K-$400K effective capital.

Workarounds (If You Hit the Ceiling)

Option 1: Use Multiple Prop Firms

Nothing stops you from running 5 TPT accounts ($750K) + 5 Apex accounts ($1.5M) + 3 TopOne accounts ($300K) = $2.55M total prop capital.

Pros: Diversifies firm risk, maximizes capital access.

Cons: Managing 13 accounts across 3 platforms is insane. Payout schedules, platform differences, rule variations—most traders can't handle this complexity.

Option 2: Graduate to Personal Capital

Once you're consistently profitable with $750K prop capital, you've proven your edge. Consider trading your own money or seeking investor capital where there's no account limit.

The math: Making $10K/month on $750K TPT capital (90/10 PRO+ split) = $9K to you, $1K to firm. Trade $750K of your own capital = keep $10K, pay $0 to firms.

The catch: You need $750K to trade with. Most traders don't have that.

Option 3: Push for Higher Per-Account Limits

Some traders in TPT's Discord report requesting custom account sizes ($200K, $250K) after proving long-term consistency. TPT occasionally approves these on a case-by-case basis.

Not guaranteed. No official "custom account" program. But worth asking if you've been funded 6+ months with strong performance.

How TPT's Limits Compare

TPT: 5 accounts, $750K max, middle-tier scaling

Best for scaling:

• Apex: 20 accounts, $6M theoretical max
• Bulenox: 10 accounts, $2M max

Worst for scaling:

• TopStep: Caps at 2-3 funded accounts typically
• Earn2Trade: 3 accounts max, $300K total

Verdict: TPT's 5-account limit is industry-average. Not the best, not the worst. Fine for most traders, limiting for serious scalers.

The Bottom Line

TakeProfitTrader's $750K max capital (5 × $150K accounts) is sufficient for 95% of traders but restrictive for the top 5% who want to scale beyond $1M.

If you're starting out: The 5-account limit won't matter for 12-24 months. Focus on passing one account and staying funded.

If you're scaling aggressively: Plan to diversify across multiple firms once you hit 3-4 TPT accounts. Don't put all your prop capital eggs in one firm's basket.

If you're already hitting the ceiling: Congratulations—you've outgrown TPT. Time to add Apex (20 accounts), transition to personal capital, or negotiate custom terms.

The max capital limit isn't a dealbreaker—it's a milestone. If you hit it, you've already won the prop trading game. Most traders never get close.
