Apex Trader Funding vs Take Profit Trader

Two of the most-traded futures prop firms — one with the biggest discount on the site, the other with the simplest rulebook and no daily loss limit. Here's how they stack up.

The bottom line

The short version.

Apex Trader Funding wins on price and scale. Code CHAMP unlocks 90% off plus no activation fee — the biggest active discount we track — with a one-day pass and up to 20 funded accounts, backed by $300M+ in payouts at a roughly 4-hour median. The cost of entry is a daily loss limit and a 50% consistency rule on the funded account.

Take Profit Trader counters with simplicity. It removed the daily loss limit across all five account sizes, runs a clean profit-target ladder, and has a strong payout record of its own ($60M+, around a 2-day median). Its CHAMP discount is smaller ($40 off), and it's evaluation-only — no instant-funding path.
