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.

Quick heads-up: This article is based on my real experience with TakeProfitTrader and the info available when I published/updated this. Things change in prop trading — rules, payouts, promos, all of it.

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.
