Take Profit Trader in one paragraph
Still top-3: day-one uncapped withdrawals, no daily loss limit anywhere, a 3-day evaluation minimum, and a real live-capital path at 90/10 via PRO+. The standing 40% lifetime discount with the $130 activation waived is quietly the best recurring deal of the 16, and unlike the flash sales it carries no published end date. Watch the trap: PRO (sim-funded) switches to intraday trailing drawdown, the most common reason passers fail in week one.

Still unbeatable for one thing: mass scaling, up to 20 copied accounts at $178 all-in each for a 150K Intraday, or $309 for the standard 150K EOD path, $249 if you take the No-Activation-Fee EOD variant instead. But Apex 4.0's hard 6-payout lifetime cap with balance forfeiture converts it into a repeat-purchase treadmill (max ~$20,500 lifetime per 150K account), and its rule-churn history is the worst of the legit firms. For cap-farming at scale only; skip if you want one long-lived compounding account.
