TakeProfitTrader Reset Fee Explained: Test vs. PRO Account Costs

You just breached your TakeProfitTrader account and you're staring at a "Reset Account" button in your dashboard. Before you click it, you need to know exactly how much it costs—because Test resets and PRO resets have wildly different price tags.

Here's the breakdown: TakeProfitTrader charges a flat $100 reset fee for Test (evaluation) accounts regardless of size, but PRO (funded) account resets cost $399-$999 depending on account size—significantly more expensive. A $50K PRO reset costs $649 according to TakeProfitTrader's BBB complaint responses, while smaller accounts cost less and larger accounts cost more. Importantly, monthly subscription renewals automatically include a free Test account reset, so paying $100 for an immediate Test reset is optional—you can simply wait for your next billing cycle instead.

This article breaks down exactly what reset fees you'll pay on each account type, explains when resetting makes financial sense vs. waiting for your subscription renewal, reveals the PRO reset fee structure (which TakeProfitTrader doesn't publish prominently), and shows you the math on whether PRO resets are worth the cost. As of December 2025, these are TakeProfitTrader's current reset policies.

Test Account Reset Fee: $100 Flat (But Usually Free)

The $100 Optional Reset

Cost: $100 flat fee (all account sizes: $25K, $50K, $75K, $100K, $150K)
What you get: Immediate fresh Test account with same parameters
What you DON'T get: Extended subscription time—your renewal date stays the same

Example:

You buy a $50K Test account on January 1st for $170/month. Your subscription renews February 1st. On January 15th, you breach your account (hit trailing drawdown). You have two options:

Option A (Pay $100): Click "Reset Account" → Pay $100 → Get fresh account immediately → Continue trading same day → Still renew February 1st for another $170

Option B (Wait, get free reset): Do nothing → Wait until February 1st → Subscription auto-renews for $170 → Fresh account automatically provided

Total cost comparison:

• Option A: $170 (January) + $100 (reset) + $170 (February) = $440 for 2 months
• Option B: $170 (January) + $170 (February) = $340 for 2 months

When the $100 reset makes sense:

1. You breached early in your billing cycle (Day 3-10) and want maximum time to pass before next renewal
2. You're confident you can pass within days and don't want to lose momentum
3. You're on a hot streak and the breach was a fluke—immediate reset lets you capitalize on good market conditions

When waiting for free renewal reset makes more sense:

1. You breached late in billing cycle (Day 20-30)—renewal is coming soon anyway
2. You need to adjust your strategy—the downtime gives you space to analyze what went wrong
3. You're budget-conscious—why pay $100 for something you'll get free in a week?

The Subscription Model Context

TakeProfitTrader uses monthly subscriptions, not one-time challenge fees. Your Test account automatically renews every 30 days at full price until you either (A) pass and activate PRO, or (B) manually cancel.

Monthly Test fees:

• $25K: $150/month
• $50K: $170/month
• $75K: $245/month
• $100K: $330/month
• $150K: $360/month

Critical detail: Your subscription continues billing even if your account is breached. If you breach on Day 5 and don't reset (paid or free), you're still paying the monthly fee until you manually cancel. The subscription doesn't auto-cancel just because you failed.

Smart strategy: If you breach and don't plan to continue, cancel your subscription immediately in your dashboard to prevent next month's charge.

PRO Account Reset Fees: $399-$999 (Account Size Dependent)

Why PRO Resets Cost Way More

Once you pass your Test and activate a PRO (funded) account, breaching means losing your funded status. TakeProfitTrader offers PRO resets as a way to skip going back through the Test phase—you pay a fee and get your PRO account reset with same contract limits and day-one withdrawal eligibility.

PRO reset fees (based on BBB complaints and user reports):

$25K PRO: ~$399 (estimated, not officially published)
$50K PRO: $649 (confirmed via TakeProfitTrader BBB response)
$75K PRO: ~$799 (estimated based on pattern)
$100K PRO: ~$999 (mentioned in BBB complaint by trader)
$150K PRO: ~$1,299 (estimated, highest tier)

Note: TakeProfitTrader doesn't publish PRO reset fees prominently on their website. The $649 figure for $50K accounts comes from their official BBB complaint response, and other figures are based on trader reports and logical pricing patterns.

Maximum 3 PRO Resets Per Account

Critical limit: You can reset each PRO account up to 3 times maximum. After 3 resets, the account is permanently closed—you'd need to go back through the Test phase and activate a new PRO account.

Reset count example ($50K PRO account):

Initial PRO activation: $130 (one-time fee if not using promo)
1st breach → 1st reset: $649
2nd breach → 2nd reset: $649
3rd breach → 3rd reset: $649
4th breach: Account permanently closed, must restart Test phase

Total cost if you use all 3 resets: $130 + ($649 × 3) = $2,077 total before you'd need to go back to Test

When PRO Resets Make Financial Sense

Do the math comparison:

PRO Reset Option ($50K account):

• Pay $649
• Get immediate PRO account back
• Resume trading same day
• Withdraw from day one

Go Back Through Test Option:

• Pay $170/month subscription until you pass (let's say 1 month if you're fast)
• Pay $130 activation fee (if not using promo)
• Total: $170 + $130 = $300
• But you lose time: minimum 5 trading days to pass Test

PRO reset makes sense when:

1. Time is valuable: You're consistently profitable and 5+ days of downtime costs you more than $350 in lost trading opportunities
2. You're near a big payout: You had $4K in PRO account, breached, but could generate $2K profit in next week—$649 reset pays for itself
3. Mental momentum: You're in the zone, and going back to Test phase would break your trading rhythm

Go back through Test makes more sense when:

1. You breached due to strategy failure: You need to rework your approach anyway—use Test phase as practice
2. Budget constraints: $649 is steep, and you'd rather spend $170-300 going through Test again
3. Multiple breaches already: If this is your 2nd or 3rd reset, reconsider whether you're ready for PRO trading

The Hidden Cost: Intraday Drawdown in PRO Accounts

The #1 reason traders breach PRO and face reset decisions: Intraday trailing drawdown.

Test accounts: End-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown—your drawdown trails based on balance at 4 PM CT close. You can be down $3K at 10 AM and recover by 4 PM without breaching.

PRO accounts: Intraday trailing drawdown—your drawdown trails in real-time based on peak equity including unrealized profits.

Real scenario ($50K PRO account, $2K max drawdown):

10:00 AM: Account balance $50,000, drawdown floor $48,000
10:30 AM: Open long 6 ES, up +$1,500 unrealized
Peak equity: $51,500 → Drawdown trails to $49,500 (real-time)
11:00 AM: Trade reverses, down -$1,000 from peak, close at $50,500
Result: Balance is $50,500, but drawdown floor is $49,500—you're now only $1,000 away from breach (not $2,000)

This intraday trailing trap causes most PRO breaches. Traders don't realize their drawdown tightened during a winning trade, then a normal pullback breaches them.

How to avoid PRO resets:

1. Close winners in stages: Take partial profits to lock in gains before trailing tightens too much
2. Monitor dashboard in real-time: Check your drawdown threshold every 15-30 minutes when in open trades
3. Use tighter stops once profitable: If you're up $1K on a position, move stop to breakeven or small profit
4. Consider upgrading to PRO+: PRO+ returns to EOD drawdown (requires $5K profit generated in PRO first)

Alternative to PRO Reset: The Free Waiting Game

If you breach a PRO account and don't want to pay $649 for reset, you have two options:

Option 1: Start a new Test subscription

• Buy fresh Test account ($170/month for $50K)
• Pass in 5+ days
• Pay $130 activation (if not using promo)
• Total: $170-300 depending on how fast you pass

Option 2: Use a promo code for new Test

• TakeProfitTrader frequently runs promos (NOFEE40, NOFEE100, etc.)
• 30-40% off Test subscriptions + waived activation fees
• Example: $50K at 40% off = $102/month, $0 activation
• Pass Test, get fresh PRO for $102 total

Smart traders using multiple accounts:

If you have 2-3 Test accounts in different stages, you can rotate. Breach PRO Account A → Focus on passing Test Account B → Activate new PRO B while deciding whether to reset PRO A or abandon it.

Promo Codes and Lifetime Benefits

Important: If you purchased your account using a promo code (NOFEE40, NOFEE100, etc.), your activation fee waiver and discount are permanent for that account—even through resets.

Example: NOFEE40 with resets

You bought $50K Test with NOFEE40 code:

• Test fee: $102/month (40% off $170)
• Activation fee: $0 (waived)
• Pass Test → Activate PRO for $102 total
• Breach PRO → Reset for $649
• Activation fee still waived on the reset PRO account

You do NOT pay another $130 activation when resetting—the lifetime waiver stays attached to your account through all 3 allowed resets.

TakeProfitTrader Reset Fees vs. Competitors

TakeProfitTrader's unique position: They're one of the few firms offering PRO account resets—most competitors force you back through the evaluation if you breach funded accounts. This is valuable for consistent traders who have an occasional bad day.

Bottom Line: Reset Strategy Guide

For Test accounts:

• Never pay $100 for immediate reset in the last 10 days of your billing cycle—just wait for free renewal
• Consider $100 reset if you breached in first 10 days and are confident you'll pass quickly
• Always cancel subscription if you're done trading to avoid next month's charge

For PRO accounts:

• PRO reset ($649 for $50K) makes sense if you're consistently profitable and time lost > reset cost
• Go back through Test if you breached due to strategy issues and need to rebuild confidence
• Track your resets carefully—you only get 3 maximum before permanent closure
• Avoid intraday drawdown trap by monitoring real-time dashboard and taking partial profits

The subscription renewal insight most traders miss: If you're struggling to pass, don't keep paying $100 resets. Let your subscription renew naturally for "free" resets every 30 days while you refine your strategy between attempts.
