Which one fits?

Take Profit Trader is best for existing tpt funded traders working through pro toward the pro+ upgrade with a defined intraday strategy and modest profit goals.

Dimension by dimension: who wins where

Computed live from the per-variable evidence behind each firm's TVSM-PF score — Tradeify takes 5 of 6 dimensions at current scores. Every variable links to a primary source on the firm pages.

Payout ReliabilityTake 20.8 · Tradeify 27.2 / 32

Tradeify wins. Take Profit Trader pays PRO: 80/20; PRO+ upgrade after $5,000 PRO profits: 90/10; Tradeify pays 90% on sim-funded (Growth / Select / Lightning); 80% on Tradeify Elite live tier. Per-payout caps — Take Profit Trader: None monthly; $50 fee on withdrawals ≤$250; Tradeify: None — decide who keeps more in a big month.

Rule FairnessTake 11.7 · Tradeify 17.5 / 24

Tradeify wins. Drawdown models differ: Take Profit Trader runs PRO: 6% trailing intraday; PRO+: EOD trailing (balance-based); Tradeify runs EOD trailing — balance-based; e.g. $5,000 trailing on $150K. The model decides how much intraday heat you can take before breaching.

Rules StabilityTake 7.0 · Tradeify 8.8 / 10

Tradeify wins. Mid-stream rule changes are penalized here, and every change is tracked in our append-only changelog — so a recent payout or drawdown change shows up in this dimension rather than being quietly absorbed.

Business ViabilityTake 9.6 · Tradeify 12.3 / 16

Tradeify wins. Operating history and scale matter most when a payout goes sideways — the longer-running, better-capitalised firm carries less counterparty risk, and this dimension reflects each firm's track record to date.

Platform & ExecutionTake 4.4 · Tradeify 6.0 / 8

Tradeify wins. Platforms: Take Profit Trader — NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView; Tradeify — NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Quantower. If your edge depends on a specific platform, this is the deciding line.

Cost & ValueTake 6.6 · Tradeify 6.2 / 10

Effectively even. Evaluation cost: Take Profit Trader — $150–360/mo subscription depending on account size; $130 one-time PRO activation; Tradeify — Growth $50K ~$129/mo; $150K $359/mo; Lightning starts ~$199 one-time. Fee refundable — Take Profit Trader: No — subscription + one-time $130 PRO activation fee; Tradeify: No — subscription model. Activation fee on funded transition is one-time and non-refundable..
