Resetting a TakeProfitTrader PRO+ Account

Resetting a TakeProfitTrader PRO+ account after a rule violation costs $549-$1,499 depending on account size ($50K = $549, $75K = $799, $100K = $999, $150K = $1,499) and returns your account to starting balance with all rules and restrictions reset to baseline.

Unlike PRO simulation resets which only require clicking a button and paying the fee, PRO+ resets involve disconnecting your live broker connection, clearing your trading history, and re-establishing the account with your broker (typically 1-2 business days for reactivation). You're allowed unlimited resets as long as you pay the reset fee, but each reset is treated as a brand new account—previous profits, trading history, and performance metrics don't carry over.

Understanding when to reset versus when to abandon PRO+ and return to PRO simulation helps you avoid throwing money at an account type that might not suit your trading style.

Tested firsthand: I've traded multiple TakeProfitTrader accounts—passed evaluations, activated PRO, dealt with the intraday trailing drawdown switch, and withdrawn real money. What you're reading comes from live funded trading, not from reading their marketing page.

For the complete breakdown of every TakeProfitTrader account tier—including how Test, PRO, and PRO+ differ in drawdown rules, profit splits, and position limits, plus which account size actually makes sense for your trading style—read my full TakeProfitTrader accounts overview.

PRO+ Reset Costs by Account Size

Comparison: PRO simulation resets cost $100 less across all account sizes ($449 vs $549 for $50K).

Why PRO+ costs more: You're resetting a live funded account with real broker connections, not just a simulation.

What Triggers a PRO+ Reset Requirement

You must reset if you violate:

1. Max trailing drawdown – Your balance drops too far from peak
2. Daily loss limit – Lose too much in a single day (if applicable to your account)
3. Position size limits – Trade more contracts than allowed
4. Restricted trading hours – Trade during news events or outside allowed hours
5. Prohibited products – Trade instruments not permitted

After violation:

Your PRO+ account is locked. You can't trade until you either:

• Reset the account (pay reset fee)
• Abandon the account (stop paying subscription)

How to Reset a PRO+ Account

Step 1: Navigate to Your PRO+ Dashboard

Dashboard → PRO+ Accounts → Select violated account

Step 2: Click "Reset Account"

Status will show "Violated" or "Locked." Click the "Reset" button.

Step 3: Pay Reset Fee

Choose payment method:

• Credit/debit card
• PayPal
• Wallet balance (if you have funds)

Amount due: $549 (for $50K account)

Step 4: Confirm Reset

System shows:

• Reset cost: $549
• New starting balance: $50,000
• Rules reset to baseline
• Trading history cleared

Click "Confirm Reset"

Step 5: Wait for Broker Reactivation

Timeline: 1-2 business days

TPT must:

• Disconnect your old broker connection
• Clear your trading history
• Re-establish your account with Rithmic or CQG
• Send you reactivation email

Step 6: Resume Trading

Once reactivated (you'll receive email), you can trade again with fresh starting balance and clean slate.

What Happens During a PRO+ Reset

Your account after reset:

• Starting balance: Returns to original ($50K → $50K)
• Trading history: Wiped clean (no previous trades visible)
• Profit/loss: Reset to $0
• Trailing drawdown: Resets to starting point
• Rule violations: Cleared (you get fresh set of rules)

What stays the same:

• Account size ($50K remains $50K)
• Profit split (still 80/20)
• Commission rates (still $1.29-1.50 per RT)
• Monthly subscription (still active)

What you lose:

• Any unrealized gains (if you had profits at time of violation)
• Trading history and performance metrics
• Momentum or confidence from previous profitable period

Cost-Benefit Analysis: Is PRO+ Reset Worth It?

Break-even calculation:

To justify a $549 reset, you need to make enough profit to cover it.

Your 80% share needs to exceed $549:

Required net profit: $549 ÷ 0.80 = $686.25

If you can't confidently make $686+ in PRO+ within 1-2 months, the reset isn't worth it.

Example scenarios:

Scenario A: Confident trader

You were profitable ($2,000/month average) before the violation. You hit max trailing drawdown due to one bad day, not a systemic issue.

Reset worth it? Yes. You'll recover the $549 in your first profitable month.

Scenario B: Struggling trader

You've been break-even or slightly losing for 3 months. You violated because you're not consistently profitable yet.

Reset worth it? No. Go back to PRO simulation, practice more, then upgrade to PRO+ when ready.

PRO+ Reset vs Starting Fresh in PRO

Option A: Reset PRO+ ($549)

• Stay in live trading
• Lower commissions ($1.29-1.50 per RT)
• Same psychological pressure
• 1-2 day reactivation wait

Option B: Abandon PRO+, Return to PRO Simulation

• Downgrade to PRO (or start new PRO from passed Test)
• Higher commissions ($5.00 per RT)
• Less psychological pressure
• No reactivation wait (immediate trading)
• Save $549 reset cost

When to choose Option B:

• You violated PRO+ multiple times (pattern of struggle)
• You prefer sim trading comfort
• You're not high-volume enough to justify lower commissions
• $549 reset fee is too expensive for your budget

When to choose Option A:

• You're consistently profitable in PRO+ and violation was one-off
• You're high-volume trader where $1.29 commissions save you $300+/month
• You need live trading experience for career development

Multiple PRO+ Resets: When to Stop

First reset: Understandable. Everyone makes mistakes.

Second reset: Pay attention. If you violated twice, there's a pattern.

Third reset: Stop. You've now paid $1,647 ($549 × 3) in resets. This is a sign PRO+ isn't for you right now.

The math:

3 resets = $1,647
Alternative: Stay in PRO simulation for 16 months ($102/month × 16) and save the reset money.

My rule: If you violate PRO+ twice within 6 months, downgrade to PRO. You're not ready.

PRO+ Reset vs PRO Simulation Reset

Common PRO+ Reset Issues

Issue 1: Reset paid but account not reactivated after 3 days

Cause: Broker connection issue or processing delay

Fix: Contact support with proof of payment. They'll manually expedite.

Issue 2: Can I get partial refund if I reset immediately after violation?

Answer: No. Reset fees are non-refundable once paid.

Issue 3: Can I reset PRO+ back to Test instead?

Answer: No. Reset returns you to PRO+ starting balance. If you want to go back to Test, you'd abandon PRO+ and buy a new Test.

Issue 4: Will my promotional credits work for PRO+ reset?

Answer: Depends. Some promo credits are locked to specific uses (e.g., "PRO activation credit" won't work for resets). General wallet credits or rewards credits work for any purchase including PRO+ resets.

Strategic Alternatives to PRO+ Reset

Alternative 1: Run Multiple PRO Accounts Instead

Instead of one $50K PRO+ account, run two $50K PRO simulation accounts.

Cost:

• 2× PRO subscriptions: $204/month (vs $102 for 1)
• Higher commissions: $5.00 per RT (vs $1.29)
• But no $549 reset fees

If you violate one PRO: Reset for $449 instead of $549.

Alternative 2: Trade Personal Capital

If you have $10K+ in personal capital, skip prop firms entirely. Trade your own money with:

• 100% of profits (no 80/20 split)
• No rules (trade however you want)
• Lower taxes (capital gains vs self-employment income)

Alternative 3: Scale Down to Smaller PRO+ Account

If you keep violating $100K PRO+, drop to $50K PRO+. Smaller account = smaller reset cost if you violate again.

Bottom Line

Resetting a TakeProfitTrader PRO+ live funded account costs $549-$1,499 depending on account size and involves a 1-2 business day reactivation period while TPT disconnects and re-establishes your broker connection, returning your account to starting balance with all rules and trading history cleared. To justify the reset fee, you need to make at least $686 in net profit (on a $50K account) to cover the $549 cost after the 80/20 split, meaning PRO+ resets only make financial sense for consistently profitable traders who violated due to one-off mistakes rather than systemic trading issues.

Traders who violate PRO+ twice within 6 months should strongly consider downgrading to PRO simulation where resets cost $100 less, reactivation is instant, and psychological pressure is lower despite slightly higher commissions. The cumulative cost of multiple PRO+ resets ($1,647 for three $50K resets) often exceeds the value of staying in PRO+ versus running multiple PRO simulation accounts with more forgiving rules and instant reset capability, making PRO+ resets a tool for experienced traders with proven track records rather than those still developing consistency.
