Test, PRO, and PRO+ are three different loss contracts
Take Profit Trader, founded in 2021 in Orlando, is a one-step futures shop: pass the Test, land a PRO account with daily withdrawals, then graduate to PRO+. The Test on $100K uses a $2,200 hard Daily Loss Limit (2.2%), a $3,000 End-of-Day trailing maximum (3%), a $6,000 profit target (6%), five minimum trading days, and a 50% consistency rule. The $210 monthly-style fee is cheaper than most two-step FX tickets and more expensive than a $99 Combine, which is the comparison that actually matters.
PRO keeps the $2,200 daily fence and switches the $3,000 maximum from End-of-Day trailing to Intraday trailing until you build the buffer zone. That switch is the primary trap. Consistency disappears on PRO. The split is 80% on PRO and 90% on PRO+. Platforms are NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, and Rithmic. You can start a free Venasri account and keep a Test card and a PRO card as separate profiles so the EOD trail you practiced does not follow you into a live Intraday book.
$2,200 daily, $3,000 trail, flat by 5:00 PM ET
The hard daily loss is a cash number, not a soft warning: $1,100 on $50K, $2,200 on $100K, $3,300 on $150K. Tag it on closed or floating PnL and the Test or PRO account is done for that day, and often done for good. The 3% maximum trails End-of-Day during the Test, so an intraday +$1,800 NQ spike that you give back before the 5:00 PM ET close does not walk the trail up. On PRO, that same spike does walk the Intraday trail up, and the pullback spends room you thought you still had.
All positions must be flat by 5:00 PM ET. No weekend holding. PRO funded accounts also ban new risk 1 minute before and after FOMC, NFP, and CPI. Semi-automated tools are permitted; high-frequency unattended bots are not. Set Venasri Equity Guard near $1,850 of daily open loss on a $100K book (about 0.35% in front of $2,200) so a Rithmic spike cannot print $2,205 after you thought you had $80 left.
50% consistency on the Test, zero on PRO
During the five-day Test, your largest winning day cannot exceed 50% of the $6,000 target, which is $3,000. A $3,400 NQ morning forces extra target dollars ($3,400 / 0.50 = $6,800 new hurdle). That is the same shape as a Topstep Combine consistency rule, and it is why passing in two hero sessions usually fails. Once you are on PRO, that 50% cap is gone, which is why traders size up the first funded week and then meet the Intraday trail for the first time.
Daily withdrawals on PRO start as soon as you are above the buffer zone. That is the unique strength and the sizing trap. Taking $400 out of a thin buffer leaves less air under the Intraday trail. 24/7 MT5 Bot Control will not place your NQ orders, but it is the right place to keep a parallel flatten-before-news profile if you also run an MT5 FX book, and to encode the same 1-minute FOMC/NFP/CPI blackout you owe the PRO desk.
Two Venasri cards: Test EOD versus PRO Intraday
Write the Test card as $2,200 daily, $3,000 EOD trail, $6,000 target, $3,000 max single day, flatten at 16:50 ET. Write the PRO card as $2,200 daily, $3,000 Intraday trail that moves with peak unrealized equity, no consistency cap, still flatten at 16:50 ET, and still black out the 1-minute news window. The $210 fee is only cheap if you do not pass the Test on EOD math and then fail PRO on the first open-profit pullback.
Size Test trades at 0.35% to 0.50% of the $100K notion ($350 to $500), which is roughly 2 to 4 NQ micros with a structural stop, not a 4-contract MES hero ticket. Once on PRO, do not raise size until the Intraday buffer is actually built. The day-1 withdrawal is a feature after that buffer exists. It is a hole in the trail if you take it first.
