TakeProfitTrader Multiple Accounts: How to Scale Smart

Quick Answer: TakeProfitTrader allows up to 5 PRO/PRO+ funded accounts maximum. You can have unlimited Test accounts (evaluations), but once funded, you're capped at 5 total. Copy trading is allowed across all your accounts, making this one of the cleanest scaling setups in prop trading.

The Account Limits Breakdown

Test Phase (Evaluations): Unlimited. You can run 10, 20, 50 Test accounts simultaneously if you want to pay for them all. Each is $119-$252/month depending on size and promos.

PRO Phase (Simulated Funded): Maximum 5 accounts total across all sizes.

PRO+ Phase (Live Funded): Counts toward the same 5-account limit.

What this means: You could have 3 PRO accounts + 2 PRO+ accounts = 5 total funded. Or 5 PRO accounts. Or 1 PRO + 4 PRO+. Any combination, as long as funded accounts don't exceed 5.

Account sizes can mix: You're not locked into one size. Run 2x $50K + 2x $100K + 1x $150K = $550K total capital if you want.

Theoretical max capital: 5x $150K accounts = $750K buying power (assuming you can pass and maintain 5 funded accounts).

Copy Trading Rules: The Scaling Advantage

TPT explicitly allows copy trading across your own accounts. This is your scaling engine.

How it works:

Set up master account (your primary trading account)
Configure copy trading software (NinjaTrader's Strategy Sync, MultiCharts, or third-party tools)
Slave accounts automatically mirror your master account trades
Execute one trade on master = executes on all 5 accounts simultaneously

Why this matters: You're not managing 5 separate strategies. You trade ONE account actively, the other 4 copy it. This lets you scale capital without scaling mental workload.

Position sizing nuance: If you're running different account sizes, adjust ratios. Trading 2 ES on a $50K master? Copy to 4 ES on $100K slave accounts (2x ratio) and 6 ES on $150K accounts (3x ratio).

Critical copy trading rule: You can only copy YOURSELF—not other traders. Copying someone else's trades violates TPT's terms and will get all your accounts terminated.

Strategic Path to 5 Funded Accounts

Phase 1: Master Your System (Months 1-2)

Focus on passing ONE Test account
Get to PRO, stay funded 30+ days
Prove consistency before scaling

Phase 2: Add Account #2 (Month 3)

Purchase second Test account
Pass it using the same strategy as Account #1
Activate second PRO account
Set up copy trading between both

Phase 3: Scale to 3-5 Accounts (Months 4-6)

Add one Test account per month
Pass each using your proven system
Once funded, add to copy trading network
By month 6: 3-5 funded accounts running

Why this timeline matters: Trying to pass 5 Test accounts simultaneously while learning the system = high failure rate. Building sequentially = you're profitable and consistent by the time you scale.

The Cost of Running Multiple Accounts

Test Phase (monthly fees until you pass):

5x $50K Test accounts = $595/month ($119 each with NOFEE100)
3x $100K Test accounts = $594/month ($198 each with promos)

Funded Phase: $0 monthly fees once you pass (no ongoing subscriptions in PRO/PRO+).

Activation fees (waived with promos): Normally $130 per account, but NOFEE100 and similar promos waive this. Without promos: 5 accounts = $650 in activation fees.

Reset fees (if you breach):

$50K = $100 per reset (3 resets max per account)
$100K = $200-$300 per reset
5 accounts with 1 reset each = $500-$1,500 depending on sizes

First-month refund trick: TPT refunds your first month's subscription after your first withdrawal. If you pass 5 accounts in their first month and withdraw from each, you get 5x $119 = $595 back. This makes fast passing even more valuable.

Practical Tips for Managing Multiple Accounts

Tip #1: Stagger your Test starts. Don't start all 5 on the same day. Start Account #1, get to day 10-15, then start Account #2. This prevents 5 simultaneous pressures.

Tip #2: Prioritize one "primary" account. Trade your best setups on Account #1. Once it's in PRO+, THEN scale to multiple accounts. Don't spread focus too thin early.

Tip #3: Use uniform account sizes initially. Running 5x $50K accounts is easier to manage than mixing $50K + $100K + $150K. Same position sizes, same risk calculations, less mental math.

Tip #4: Withdraw strategically. Don't withdraw max from all 5 accounts the same day. Stagger withdrawals (Account #1 Monday, #2 Wednesday, #3 Friday). This keeps capital rotating and buffers healthy.

Tip #5: If one account struggles, pause it. Don't force copy trading to an account near drawdown. Disable that slave account, let the others run, rebuild the struggling one manually.

Multiple Accounts vs Single Large Account

5x $50K accounts ($250K total) vs 1x $150K account:

Advantages of multiple:

5 independent drawdowns (one bad trade doesn't kill everything)
Copy trading scales profits (1 trade = 5x exposure)
Diversified risk (breach one, still have 4 funded)

Disadvantages of multiple:

5x the admin work (payouts, tracking, platform logins)
Higher combined cost in Test phase ($595/month vs $252/month)
More accounts = more things to monitor

Verdict: If you're consistently profitable, multiple accounts win. If you're still learning, stick to one account until you prove consistency.

The Reality Check

Most traders never get beyond 2 funded accounts. Why? Because maintaining 5 accounts requires discipline, consistency, and emotional control most don't have.

Start with one. Master it. Scale when you're bored with how easy one account feels. If managing one PRO account stresses you out, five will destroy you.

But if you've got the system down and you're leaving money on the table with just one account? TPT's 5-account limit + copy trading support is one of the cleanest scaling paths in prop trading. Use it.
