Take Profit Trader

• Minimum of 3 trading days on the Test. A trading day is any day with at least one trade placed. There is no time limit on finishing the Test, but the 3-day minimum still has to be met - hitting the profit target in 2 days still leaves one more day to trade.
• 50% profit consistency on the Test: no single trading day may exceed 50% of total net profit, measured as highest profit day divided by net P/L.
• Going over 50% does not fail the account. The profit goal is raised automatically instead, to net P/L multiplied by two, and the new target shows in the dashboard.
• No consistency rule on PRO or PRO+.

Trading Hours:

• Trading window: 6 PM Eastern – 5 PM Eastern All open positions are automatically closed at 4:55 PM EST — accounts are no longer failed for forgetting to close positions. This applies to all Tradovate accounts automatically, and for Rithmic, it applies to all new accounts created from 6 AM EST May 6 2026 onward. If the market for a specific product closes before 5 PM Eastern and trader cannot exit before the deadline, the account will be liquidated. Market hours can change due to holidays. It is the trader’s responsibility to monitor holiday schedules. Missing a holiday-adjusted close time will result in account liquidation.

CME Price Limit:

• It is the trader's responsibility to be out of all trades before these limits are hit. If a price limit is hit, and you have not exited your position, this will cost you to lose your pro account. The CME has a list of the price limits for each particular day. They are listed here: CME PRICE LIMITS
