I passed the $50K PRO Funded Account evaluation with Take Profit Trader on Friday 04/04/2025 and completed all required steps for activation by Saturday 04/05/2025. This included using the NOFEE30 promo to cover the $130 setup fee and signing both the PRO Trader and POA contracts all within the timeframe provided.Despite this, my account has been in Pending status for several days. Ive contacted customer service multiple times, received copy-and-paste responses, and have been given no clear reason for the delay. This has completely stalled my trading plans and is now impacting my ability to meet urgent financial obligations.What I expected was to begin trading as soon as the setup steps were completed, especially given their stated 10-minute activation time. Instead, Im left waiting with no clear answers, no support, and no ***************** requesting that:My account be activated immediately, as all steps have been completed.I receive a written explanation for the delay.The company takes steps to improve communication and follow-through on funded account activations.This experience has caused unnecessary stress, and I am extremely disappointed in how its been handled.Business Response

We apologize for the delay in activating your funded account and for the lack of timely communication during that process. While activation typically occurs within minutes after contract completion, occasional delays can occur due to processing queues or account verification checks. We appreciate your patience and have escalated your feedback internally as we continue to improve our post-evaluation support experience.Initial Complaint

I spent over $1300 dollars on Take Profit Trader accounts. Some of these were resets or added accounts. Along the process of trading/resets etc., I have tried messaging the team on live chat for days, and even emailed their support account. They don't have a phone number to call except the owners phone number, who doesn't answer. So, the only way you can hope to get ahold of anyone is by the live chat or the support email. The live chat, you have to send a message and wait up to 24 hours for someone to answer but again, I tried asking so many questions over the past weeks and I never get an answer. I also have proof that I have emailed them several times, and never received an email back. So, I haven't heard from them in like 3 weeks. Anyway, I was working on a passing a test account and I did very well on the account early this morning. Logged out of the account after I was done, and then all of a sudden I got an email later on in the day saying that my account has been deactivated for breaking a trading rule (which I did not because I wasn't even trading), and then it said to log into my account to see which rule I have broken. I tried logging into my account and my account is not letting me log in. It keeps saying that log in information is not verified. I then tried resetting my password several times and it is still not letting me log in. So now, I have no way into logging into my account, no answers, my account is now gone that I have spent money on and working on, and no one is answering my chats or emails. I don't know what is going on, but it seems very fishy that now that the market is currently crashing, I am now not able to log into my account and lost all of my progress fraudulently by this company. I want ALL of my money back, I will have to take this to court as I have receipts of everything and my account back with the proper trading balance on it before you falsely deactivated it.Business Response

Hi,
Were sorry that it has taken time to receive the response you were hoping for from our support team we understand how frustrating that can be.
However, we want to clarify that your access has been permanently restricted because you initiated a dispute/chargeback on a transaction that involved a used account. As per our policies, this constitutes a violation of our terms, and in such cases, it is our standard procedure to block access to all services.
Once a chargeback is filed on a used product, we are unable to maintain the business relationship going forward.
We regret that it has come to this, and we appreciate your previous engagement with our platform.Initial Complaint

On April 7th at 9:05am CST I decided to reset my funded pro account with ********************. Per the agreement signed on 3/24/2025 between me and take profit trader. Remitting this fee of $449 would reset my pro account and allow me to trade. In the attached email I received I was notified that my account was ready to trade. This email, the aforementioned contract, or knowledge base of take profit trader online webpage did not outline any additional steps or waiting periods to be able to trade after reseting a pro account. On multiple occasions, I attempted to place trades with the security MES both selling and buying. I received the same error message that I must upgrade to real time market data to place this trade. I have two recorded videos at 9:15 am, and 9:20am after multiple logon attempts on both the mobile and desktop platforms. I was never made aware of this requirement in writing or verbally and believe this to be a system glitch. However, not being able to place the trades during this system error caused me to miss out on an undefined gain amount. This is evident in the two recordings that I maintain directly after attempting to place the orders seeing the price of the security rise when I tried to buy, and fall when I tried to sell. I am formally requesting that my pro account be credited with a reasonable profit from these timeframes at the amount of $1,500. Assuming a position size of 15 MES contracts and a move 20 points which was the average true range on Monday mornings trading session. I reached out to the take profit traders dedicated 24/7 live support line but did not receive a response.All of my claims are supported in the attached documents. The video evidence is available upon request however I was not able to submit on this platformBusiness Response

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out and for sharing the details of your experience.
We apologize if you felt that there was a delay in activating your Pro account reset. While the process is typically fast and seamless, there can occasionally be minor delays depending on system load or account-specific factors. That said, the product was successfully delivered and used as intended.
We have reviewed the situation, and everything has been processed correctly and in full alignment with our policy. There was no indication of a system error on our end, and the account reset was applied as expected.
We appreciate your engagement with our platform, and while we understand your frustration, were confident that this matter has been handled properly.Customer Answer

Purchase date: April 1, 2025 Amount paid: $119 Upon clicking a ****** advertisement, I was explicitly informed that the company does not impose a maximum withdrawal limit on PRO accounts. Based on this information, I proceeded with the purchase. However, shortly after purchasing the service, I checked the company's "knowledge base" page and found no information confirming the absence of a withdrawal limit. Concerned about potential misinformation, I immediately requested a refund within 30 minutes of purchase.Due to slow customer service response times, I did not receive a reply until approximately 48 hours later. At that point, the customer service representative informed me that PRO accounts actually have a maximum withdrawal limit of $10,000. To remove this cap, an upgrade to a PRO+ account is required.Despite not placing any trades or utilizing the service in any way, my request for a full refund was denied. The reason given was that the business had already incurred unrecoverable expenses. This justification is unacceptable, as I have received no benefit from the service.This situation clearly represents a predatory business practice: initially providing false or misleading advertising and subsequently refusing to issue a complete refund when the customer immediately identifies and reports the discrepancy.Business Response
Date: 04/18/2025
We apologize for the delay in responding to your initial request and understand your concern. However, we must clarify that our advertising does not state that PRO accounts have no withdrawal limitsthis appears to be a misunderstanding. All withdrawal rules, including the $10,000 cap on PRO accounts, are clearly outlined in our terms and public documentation. While we respect your decision not to use the service, refunds are not issued after purchase due to the immediate provisioning of account resources and third-party costs, regardless of trading activity.Initial Complaint

I've had delayed data for 5 business days now and they won't respond to emails at all or live chat. I had this same exact issue last year in October. It appears they do NOT pay their data fees to Tradovate. I have to charge back all purchases now because the "product" they sell does not work and no one will respond to a email or live chat.They also have NO phone number.Business Response
Date: 04/18/2025
We sincerely apologize for the delay in support thats not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand your frustration.
However, we must firmly clarify that your claim regarding unpaid data fees is incorrect. All data services are fully active, and our agreements with ********* and other third-party providers are in good standing. There is no scenario in which a lack of payment on our end would cause the type of issue youre describing, and we can confidently say that the data feeds are functioning as expected.Initial Complaint

I paid for three new trading accounts on 3/22/2025, but never received them. Tried to contact the business multiple times via chat and email (on 3/22, 3/25, 3/29, and 04/01), but received either no response or an automated response ("We are currently offline. Our Agents will reply to you by email once they are back.") and no follow-up (ticket #******). The business doesn't provide a contact phone number so there's no other way of contacting them. Not being able to get a response about services that were paid for but not provided in almost two weeks is simply unacceptable.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:- it is simply not true.
Not only the details were not delivered over the email, I also checked my dashboard on TakeProfitTrader website, and my Tradovate account. Those three accounts are nowhere to be found. I'm a long time customer of ********************** and find this response insulting.
If you insist on the fact that accounts were created and delivered to me, please show any proof of that: at least, indicate the account numbers. I'm happy to provide screenshots of my TPT dashboard and tradovate, and there are no accounts that were created on that date (screenshots and pdf printouts are attached to this response).

You were absolutely right. At first glance, everything appeared to be in order, but after a closer review with our tech team, weve confirmed that the accounts were not successfully created.
We sincerely apologize for this error. As of today, weve refunded you for 3 x $105. Well also be adding a free Evaluation Test as a small gesture to make up for the inconvenience.

The biggest issue with this company is that they have been mostly unresponsive. When they did respond, they referenced the wrong transaction, and I have been unable to get in touch with them again despite repeated attempts. I have proof of funds that left my account and went to this company despite being told otherwise. I am severely disappointed with the level of service I am receiving. I also attempted to redeem my "rewards," and that account was also not activated. I have documentation with dollar amounts and dates for all of my grievances.Business Response

You were already refunded $105 for the subscription fee on April 9. Since you did not cancel your subscription, I have also refunded the $105 transaction that was charged on 4/23. I have now cancelled your subscription as well. I apologize for the negative experience you have had with TakeProfitTrader. I am closing this case here.

Hello. The date of the issue is 4/2/2025. I have spent over $10,000 with this firm and never received a dime. Finally, I reach a point to where I am making money and they want to make fraudulent closures of my accounts despite having records that I know will clearly prove that I was indeed not hedging my accounts. Truly despicable how they can take so much money and I understand Im in the wrong but as soon as I reach a point of getting money myself they want to make false claims and close 4 accounts with over $8000 in value across them. They ignore every chat request I open despite over 10 tries to contact them, they stopped replying to my emails after asking for further clarification which I gave. I did not break any rules and the data would show that. The business clearly wants take this money from me which is truly sickening. I have attached a couple pictures of trades, and other things to show I abide by the rules. I need all of the accounts restored to the point they were at before being disabled, and my payout to be processed. I had 4 pro accounts that were wrongfully closed including, TAKEPROFITPRO4765776, TAKEPROFITPRO4905169, TAKEPROFITPRO4975903, and TAKEPROFITPRO4315614.Business Response

Hi,
We are writing to inform you that your accounts **********************************, TAKEPROFITPRO4905169, TAKEPROFITPRO4975903, and TAKEPROFITPRO4315614 have been disabled, and all profits on these accounts have been forfeited due to trading activity against each other.
As per the PRO Agreement, Section 2F, this practice is strictly prohibited:
"It is strictly forbidden to trade PRO/PRO+ accounts against each other, meaning having open positions at the same time in different directions on the same or related products. Violation of this rule will result in the immediate liquidation of PRO/PRO+ accounts and forfeiture of all profits."
Due to this violation, we have taken the necessary actions as outlined in our policy.
If you have any further questions, youre welcome to reach out to support with your account details, but please note that this decision is in accordance with our terms and is final.Initial Complaint

On Mar 25th and 26th there was an error that occurred that caused all my Pro account to be liquidated. I couldnt grab the error on a screen recording to send a copy of that video to the support team. I then connected with platform (Tradovate) that they use to tell them about the issue.On Mar 26th, I submitted a ticket and expected a resolution by EOD April 1st per their estimated resolution time. On March 28th I followed up with Rhayan and was told (Manager) was reviewing my case. At the time there was no resolution. On March 31st, I than followed up again and the Take Profit Team simply stopped responding. I have multiple screenshots of conversations where NO ONE on support got back to me. April 1st, I received an email from stating they accepted there was an issue the 25th and that if I still needed help, to reach out to the support team. You can understand the confusion here in that my case was supposed to be under review. This revealed that there was a disconnect somewhere internally with them. On April 1st I followed up again, multiple times. There was an issue with Tradovate (their 3rd party). I submitted everything requested and later on confirmed that there was no longer an issue. During ALL emails, I inquired multiple times about my lost account being reactivated and the account balance adjusted prior to the issue. On April 1st l followed up via email and multiple times and have not received a response. My account balance was almost ***** on drawdown prior to error plus the 119 | paid per account (5) plus all the resets. They acknowledge they had an issue and they just dont want to be responsible for it. I didnt do anything wrong on my side and I am paying the price for something I had no control over the loss of my profits on all of the accounts which then lead to liquidation.Business Response
Date: 04/20/2025
We would like to reiterate that this matter has already been reviewed and addressed by our support team.
The reported issue occurred on March 25, 2025, between 8:30 AM CT and 9:24 AM CT. During this time, you did not incur any lossesin fact, your trading activity showed a profit of $22.25.
Your account(s) were later disabled due to a Drawdown Limit violation on March 26, 2025, which is unrelated to the temporary issue experienced the previous day. This rule breach is clearly outlined in the Pro Account Agreement, and system enforcement was functioning as intended.
As such, there is no basis for account reinstatement or reimbursement.

We understand that Tradovate acknowledged a platform issue and referred you to us.
When you reached out to our support team, we reviewed your account and our customer support team explained that the issue on March 25, 2025 (between 8:30 AM and 9:24 AM CT), was not related to the reason your account was disabled.
To clarify again: during that time, your account did not experience any lossesin fact, it showed a profit of $22.25.
The reason your account was disabled is because the drawdown limit was exceeded on March 26, 2025. This occurred the day after the Tradovate issue and was not connected to that incident.

Complaint: 23150186
I am rejecting this response because:I am writing in regard to my recent claim against TakeProfit Trader, specifically concerning the abrupt closure of my trading accounts and the denial of payment for profits that I earned in good faith. I want to express that I already explained the actions that led to this situation and have already issued a formal apology to the company for the misunderstanding and any mistakes I may have made.
Despite my efforts to resolve this matter amicably, including numerous attempts to reach out, I have received no response or acknowledgment from the company. This lack of communication is extremely discouraging, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer and have invested over $5,000 into their services.
I am currently owed $9,843.75 in profits from five Pro accounts that I managed diligently and within the trading guidelines. I believe these funds were earned fairly, and it is unjust to withhold them without clear justification or dialogue. The decision to permanently ban my account and deny paymentdespite my acknowledgment of the issue and willingness to cooperatefeels excessively punitive and without due process.
I would respectfully request that my account be reactivated and the ban lifted. I also request that the $9,843.75 in profits be paid as owed. Furthermore, I would like the opportunity to speak directly with **** from the TakeProfit Trader team, who I believe can assist in finding a resolution to this matter.
I am committed to resolving this situation in a respectful and professional manner and hope that TakeProfit Trader will do the same by re-engaging in open communication with me.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.Sincerely,

Dear **************************** you for your continued communication and for expressing your desire to resolve this matter in a professional and respectful way.
We have carefully reviewed your concerns, the trading history associated with your accounts, and the full context around the incident that led to the closure of your trading privileges.1. Account Termination Clarification
Your accounts were permanently deactivated following a verified violation of the Trader Agreementspecifically, the submission of falsified email correspondence purporting to be from ********* regarding your trading status. This was confirmed through our internal review process.
Falsification of documentation, especially involving a third-party trading platform, constitutes fraudulent behavior under Section 14.H of the signed agreement. As such, this breach provides full legal and contractual grounds for immediate termination of all associated accounts and forfeiture of any pending payouts.
2. Our Commitment to Fairness
We want to emphasize that TakeProfitTrader always fulfills payout obligations in full whenever a trader is rightfully entitled under the terms of our agreement. This principle applies consistentlyregardless of account size or **********************.
However, in this case, the trading accounts were invalidated not because of a trading error, but due to the submission of deliberately falsified information, which directly violates the trust and operational integrity of our program.
3. Communication and Due Process
We acknowledge your previous apology and your expressed willingness to resolve the matter. We appreciate your tone and your history as a committed trader.
That said, actions involving falsified documents leave us with limited flexibility. Our responsibility is not only to individual traders, but also to the broader trading community we serveensuring that all participants are held to the same standard of honesty and compliance.
Final Position
The decision to close your accounts was based on clear, documented breach of agreement.
No profits are due for accounts terminated under grounds of falsified documentation.
We sincerely regret that this situation occurred, but we must stand by our policy in order to protect the integrity of the platform.
We truly wish you the best in your future endeavors and thank you again for your prior engagement with our platform.
Sincerely,
Patrik

I am rejecting this response because:Dear Patrik,
Thank you for your response.
I would like to make it absolutely clear that I did not submit any falsified documents myself. Which was more meant to get some kind of notice from the support because no one was responding to any of my concerns. I stated before that I wasnt the one with the idea to do what was done. The emails in question were shared in good faith and based on my direct communication and experience with the Tradovate platform, which itself confirmed several issues related to order execution and delays in closing positions. These are technical matters that can and should be verified independently.
I chose to wait for your response out of professionalism and respect for the process, even though I had every right to request a withdrawal before filing any formal complaint. Which would have been approved. My intention has always been to resolve this matter in a transparent and responsible manner.
The profits I generated were the result of legitimate trading activity. I have invested over $5,000 into your platform, and this situation is not just disappointing but deeply concerning. Its also worth noting that I am not the only trader who has experienced similar treatmentthere are multiple public cases that echo the same issues.
I have acted with integrity throughout this process, and I respectfully request a fair reassessment of this situation. Withholding legitimate profits based on an unsubstantiated accusation is not only unjust but also damages the credibility of your platform.

TakeProfitTrader,Seems to have deliberately deployed a faulty customer service response chat, that will either close inquiries prior to company response, indefinitely display "can't load messages" error, or close chats with out a confirmation email. The several complaints here about the exact nature/environment of ***'s customer service is evident. It is purposeful in an attempt to deter customer contact. My first Day as a Customer with the firm was Friday, where the initial account purchased couldn't be activated. Identifying bugs in the **** There after the account that was successfully activated, experienced data freezes(not uncommon with 3rd party Tradovate), that prevented me from manage trades that are open. This happened several times to the extent a positive account balance ended negative and liquidating the account.After contacting customer service i waited 14 hours for a reply, only for the impatient agent to close the chat after my not replying within 10 minutes. This is the nature of the inept customer service. No Customer Should wait more than half a day for a reply, and then have their time disrespected by the chat being closed.The technical issues are just that, technical. However, coupled with insincere, and unprofessional customer service is unacceptable and should be inquired about by the proper State Departments in *******. When in ****************** there is ZERO room for inadequate customer service means of contact.Companies offering 3rd party products, but not willing to take a portion of the liability should be regulated to do so in order to protect the consumer.Customer Answer

Mr. ******** complaint is based off a third party data problem, which they have stated that there was no delays in customers data. The customer service complaint is valid and should not have happened. We apologize for this inconvenience due to a large increase in customers.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: There is no company in ******* can offer a 3rd party product and hold zero liability. My IPhone has ******* Parts. If I experience issues I have no legal means to contact *******! Naturally we would contact The Store we bought it From, *****/BestBuy Etc. This is a common sense thing of which Ill win in any court room in *******. The person who responded should be able to furnish the date and time of contact with Tradovate where they were explicitly told that the issue was on their behalf. This is also an admission that I did indeed have issues, where as before I was told I didnt and I caused the issues myself. Now the company has stated theyve contacted Tradovate and found the issue was on their end. Admitting I did experience these issues, but still didnt offer any measure of apology or recourse. This is the reason why I will take this all the way to the courts should I have to. If you seek defective products you are the person liable not the manufacturer. That is what makes this America and not some 3rd world country. Theyve admitted the issues exist only trough a BBB dispute. I can furnish each conversation With CS, where they seemed to come up with things I could have done wrong out of thin air. All to not have to take liability and apologize to the customer. Its odd that theyre building a bigger department when the existing department has no manners and are rude. The Customer Support System is getting worse not better. Tickets still disappear and arent acknowledged. The chat box it self sometimes will not load and says Cant Reload Messages. Faulty Products by their admission, theyve contacted ********* to verify the data bugs are from their end not mine, reluctance to reach out to the customer directly and reconcile, and unwillingness to hold partial liability for the products sold, leave me with my hands tied here. Monetarily this is a small issue. Less than $250. The principle of the matter is what will make me continue in this dispute.
Sincerely,
********* *******.Customer Answer

This explanation directly from the Tradovate website offers direction to contact the Account Provider for any Data Issues. The 3rd Party does offer support for Simulated Accounts, but when the issue is the actual data, it is clear that Take Profit Is Liable. According to the rules laid out by their own 3rd party dealer. Im just trying to find some common ground with Take Profit. I dont want money from them, just the original account I purchased. But if they continue to hold this weve done nothing wrongstance it wont be conducive to an amicable resolution for them a both.Business Response

The company responded to the BBB complaint as if they were looking to reconcile differences, but clearly wanted to identify me to permanently suspend me from using their service. I emailed their risk department and explained in great detail Id think, what my state of mind was when trying find some recourse for myself. Furthermore, A company in the industry of Finance that has minimal presence and or communication with their core consumer could easily be considered a risk if coupled with unprofessional customer service in the regard of response times, and open tickets being closed with no response. At the time it seemed my best option was to refute charges and file a complaint. No Company in ******* working in Finance should be allowed to have response times over 24 hours. Take Profit Trader over the course of several attempts didnt respond for 5-7 days, and then would close chats if the customer didnt respond within a few minutes. That struck a nerve and made me extremely cautious that Id done business with an unscrupulous firm. Ive learned through several trusted contacts including Live Traders at Take Profit, that although the company is new. They are of integrity. Ive apologized for the misunderstanding but theyve stood firm on their suspension. Id suggest they bring to out a face to the name of the company and begin to TALK to your customer base. Trust is gained through conversation, not just the new hottest offer in the industry.Customer Answer

Please ask Take Profit Trader to relay exactly what the internal findings were. This is one of the major issues we have, the company appears through their responses to the BBB as fair and understanding, but have hidden from the BBB the exact reasons for banning me as a customer. The reasons are a violation of their charge back policy. Take Profit has expressed how they have heaps of understanding and compassion for my experience yet it seems to be quite ingenuous. The company failed to respond within a reasonable amount of time to a serious customer inquiry about a Test Account Violations due to the Data Issue experienced with the products offered. The customer refuted those, charges, and only then did Take Profit Trader respond, by Banning Access. The Chargeback were reversed by my bank and the company has not been charged back for the products. I took that step to show good faith in reconciling with them. ****** is responding in reference to my Trust Pilot review, of which Take Profit Trader is trying to get me to change, without restoring Access in spite of having said they understand my reasoning and had sympathy for my experience being a first time customer. If they will not reconsider , we will reopen another complaint, as the the current complaint was closed because the email requesting my response went to the junk folder and was missed.
