TakeProfitTrader Subscription Management Guide

TakeProfitTrader Test accounts run on a monthly subscription model. You're billed every 30 days until you pass your evaluation, cancel manually, or let the subscription lapse. This structure gives you unlimited time to hit your profit target, but it also means you can rack up hundreds of dollars in fees if you're not careful about managing renewals.

This guide covers how subscription billing works, when subscriptions auto-cancel (and when they don't), how to cancel manually, how to check your renewal date, and what happens when you transition to a PRO account.

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.

How TakeProfitTrader's Subscription Model Works

When you purchase a Test account at TakeProfitTrader, you have two payment options:

1. One-time fee

You pay once (e.g., $295 for a $50K account), and you can take as long as you want to pass. No rebilling. If you fail, you can reset for a discounted fee ($100).

2. Monthly subscription

You pay a lower upfront cost (e.g., $175 for a $50K account), but you're automatically rebilled every 30 days until you pass, cancel, or fail.

Most traders who choose the monthly subscription do so because the initial cost is lower. But there's a catch: the subscription doesn't auto-cancel if you violate a rule. You have to manually cancel it yourself, or you'll keep getting charged even though your account is already dead.

When Subscriptions Auto-Cancel (and When They Don't)

Understanding when TakeProfitTrader automatically cancels your subscription—and when you need to do it yourself—is critical to avoiding unnecessary charges.

Subscriptions AUTO-CANCEL when:

1. You pass your evaluation

Once you hit your profit target, satisfy the consistency rule, and meet all other requirements, TakeProfitTrader upgrades you to a PRO account. Your Test subscription automatically cancels at that point, and you won't be billed again.

PRO accounts have no recurring subscription fees. You pay nothing monthly once you're funded. This is one of the better aspects of TakeProfitTrader's model compared to some competitors who charge monthly platform fees even after funding.

Subscriptions DO NOT auto-cancel when:

1. You break a rule

If you violate any of the test rules (exceed drawdown, fail consistency, overtrade position size, etc.), your account is locked. But your subscription does not auto-cancel. You'll keep getting billed every 30 days until you manually cancel it.

2. You decide to stop trading

If you simply stop trading but don't cancel, you'll keep getting charged. TakeProfitTrader doesn't track whether you're actively trading—they just bill your card every 30 days until you cancel or the payment method fails.

3. You reset your account

If you pay the $100 reset fee to restart your evaluation after violating a rule, your subscription renewal date does not change. You're still on the same billing cycle, and you'll be charged again on your original renewal date.

How to Cancel Your TakeProfitTrader Subscription

If you no longer want to continue with your Test account—whether you failed, decided to quit, or are taking a break—you need to manually cancel your subscription.

Here's the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Log in to your dashboard

1. Go to takeprofittrader.com
2. Click "Login" (top right)
3. Enter your email and password
4. Access your dashboard

Step 2: Navigate to "Journey to Profit"

Inside your dashboard, look for the "Journey to Profit" section. This is where all your active Test accounts are listed.

Find the subscription you want to cancel.

Step 3: Cancel the subscription

You have two options to cancel:

Option 1: Click the X icon

Next to your active subscription, you'll see a small X icon. Click it to initiate cancellation.

Option 2: Open account details and click "Cancel Subscription"

Click on your Test account to open the details window. Inside, you'll see a "Cancel Subscription" button. Click it.

Step 4: Confirm cancellation

A pop-up will ask you to confirm. This action cannot be undone, so make sure you're ready to cancel.

What happens after you cancel:

• Your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period
• You can still trade during that time
• After the billing period ends, your subscription terminates
• You won't be charged again

Important: If you haven't reached your profit target by the time your billing period ends, your test is considered unsuccessful. You won't get a partial refund or extension.

How to Check Your Subscription Renewal Date

Before canceling (or just to track your billing), you should know when your next charge is coming.

Where to find your renewal date:

1. Log in to your dashboard
2. Go to "Journey to Profit" or "Active Subscriptions"
3. Click on your Test account
4. Your next billing date should be displayed in the account details

If you don't see it immediately, you can also:

• Check your email for the last subscription charge confirmation (add 30 days)
• Contact TakeProfitTrader support via live chat

Pro tip: Set a calendar reminder a few days before your renewal date. If you're close to passing or thinking about canceling, this gives you time to decide without accidentally getting charged again.

Resetting Your Test Account

If you violate a rule and want to try again, TakeProfitTrader offers a reset option for $100.

How the reset works:

1. You pay the reset fee

$100 flat fee, regardless of your account size ($25K, $50K, $100K, $150K all cost the same).

2. Your account is reset to starting balance

Your profit/loss resets to zero, your drawdown resets, and your trading days reset.

3. Your subscription renewal date DOES NOT change

This is critical. If you reset on day 20 of your billing cycle, you'll still be charged on day 30. The reset doesn't extend your subscription period.

4. You continue with the same subscription

You're still on the same monthly billing cycle. If you had 10 days left before renewal, you still have 10 days left after resetting.

When resetting makes sense:

• You violated a rule early in your billing cycle (lots of time left)
• You're confident you can pass before the next renewal date
• You don't want to lose your progress on platform setup, indicators, etc.

When resetting doesn't make sense:

• You violated a rule late in your billing cycle (renewal coming soon)
• You're not sure you can pass before the next charge
• You'd rather take a break and come back later with a fresh account

If you reset multiple times, those $100 fees add up. At some point, you're better off canceling and buying a new account with the one-time fee option so you're not under monthly pressure.

One-Time Fee vs. Monthly Subscription: Cost Comparison

Let's break down the real cost difference between one-time and monthly subscriptions over time.

Example: $50K Test Account

Takeaway: Monthly subscriptions only make sense if you're confident you'll pass within 30 days. After 2 months, you've already paid more than the one-time fee.

If you're still learning TakeProfitTrader's rules or adjusting to the consistency requirement, the one-time fee is almost always the better choice. The monthly subscription adds unnecessary pressure, which often leads to overtrading and mistakes.

What Happens After You Pass Your Evaluation

Once you pass your Test and get upgraded to a PRO account, your subscription automatically cancels. You're done paying monthly fees.

PRO account structure:

• No monthly subscription fees
• No platform fees
• No hidden charges

You only pay:

• Data feed costs (CME Group fees, typically $50-80/month)
• Reset fees if you violate PRO account rules (higher than Test reset fees)

This is a significant advantage. Some prop firms charge monthly platform fees even after you're funded, which eats into your profit margins. TakeProfitTrader doesn't do this.

Common Subscription Management Mistakes

Mistake 1: Not canceling after violating a rule

What happens: You break a rule on day 15 of your billing cycle. Your account is locked, but you forget to cancel. On day 30, you're charged $175 again for an account you can't even use.

The fix: Cancel immediately after violating a rule if you don't plan to reset.

Mistake 2: Resetting too close to renewal date

What happens: You reset your account on day 28 of your billing cycle. Two days later, you're charged another $175 before you've even had time to pass.

The fix: Only reset if you have at least 10-15 days left before your next renewal. Otherwise, it's smarter to cancel and buy a new one-time fee account.

Mistake 3: Forgetting to set calendar reminders

What happens: You lose track of your renewal date and get charged unexpectedly.

The fix: Set a calendar reminder 3-5 days before each renewal. This gives you time to decide whether to continue, cancel, or reset.

Mistake 4: Choosing monthly subscription when you're still learning

What happens: You're new to futures, struggling with the consistency rule, and taking 4-5 months to pass. You end up paying $700 for a $50K account that should have cost $295 with the one-time fee.

The fix: If you're new to TakeProfitTrader or prop trading in general, always choose the one-time fee. Monthly subscriptions are only for experienced traders who are confident they'll pass quickly.

FAQ: Subscription Management

What happens if my payment method fails?

If your card is declined or expires, TakeProfitTrader will attempt to charge it a few times. If the payment continues to fail, your subscription will eventually be canceled and your account will be locked.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

No. TakeProfitTrader doesn't offer a pause option. You can only cancel (which ends the subscription at the end of the billing period) or let it continue.

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?

No. If you cancel on day 10 of a 30-day cycle, you won't get a refund for the remaining 20 days. Your subscription stays active until the end of the current period.

Can I switch from monthly to one-time fee?

No. Once you purchase an account with a specific payment structure, you're locked into that structure for that account. If you want to switch, you'd need to cancel your current account and buy a new one with the one-time fee option.

What if I cancel by accident?

Contact TakeProfitTrader support immediately. They may be able to reverse the cancellation if it was recent, but there's no guarantee. Be careful when confirming cancellation.

Do PRO accounts have subscription fees?

No. PRO accounts have no recurring subscription fees. You only pay for data feed costs (CME fees) and reset fees if you violate PRO rules.

Bottom Line

TakeProfitTrader's monthly subscription model gives you unlimited time to pass your evaluation, but it also means you can end up paying far more than the one-time fee if you take too long. Subscriptions auto-cancel when you pass, but they don't auto-cancel when you violate rules—you have to manually cancel or you'll keep getting charged.

If you're new to TakeProfitTrader or prop trading, choose the one-time fee. Monthly subscriptions only make sense if you're confident you'll pass within 30 days. And always set calendar reminders for your renewal dates so you don't get surprised by unexpected charges.

Once you transition to a PRO account, subscriptions are no longer an issue—PRO accounts have no recurring fees.
