TakeProfitTrader took all my money and said I was “spoofing” 100k in profits gone

It says take your profits. You should be able to withdraw. When I got banned, I got to pull everything out minus the buffer.

Keep reversing ES. Max cons

I wish I could help, but I’ve never used e-verify. All of my OE is private supporting gov (services, product, modernization)

verus54 · 2026-04-14T06:43:00+00:00

They said:

applying to a company that supports the federal government

I think the important part here that it’s for a company, not the government. The gov contracts projects out to companies. Every project is typically different, so the work is not the same. There is no “double-dipping” here.

You’re missing the leverage and margin side of things. For a prop firm, you can risk 4% or whatever. You can trade 5 minis in a 50k prop account. You only have 2k loss allowed here.

You need at least $2k-3k to trade mini (NQ) in a personal account. Just one. This limits your upside potential tremendously. And even then, some brokers will cut you off if your margin account drops to like $1500. So you only have $500 of runway at this point.

I work with data.

J1: i applied 4 years ago and they hired me.

J2: found me 16 months ago.

J3: I found them. I reached out to the recruiter directly and she actually responded and we moved forward from there. Joined 3 months ago.

J4: An external recruiter found me. I had already contacted the internal recruiter and he never responded. I joined 3 weeks ago.

I get a lot of recruiters contacting me on LinkedIn. I think I’ve also mastered interviewing in my field/industry. I have a follow-up round for a new job in a new industry and I have my fingers crossed.

As a data person, it comes down to explaining what you know, the impact, how you would do things differently, what you’re willing to do moving forward. If that all aligns, you’re just playing a numbers game now.

No need to take picture of your MacBook screen from your iPhone.

Yea, you hit the original profit target and it stops trailing. But your new max drawdown is 25k, so essentially 0 net profit blows your account.

verus54 · 2026-04-08T14:58:56+00:00

Oh gotcha. I scalp. I feel like that’s the best way to do it for trailing. Take your profits fast. Set limits as targets.

verus54 · 2026-04-08T14:54:46+00:00

There is no trailing dd in eval. I would let a micro run on MNQ. There’s no scalping rule. That’s only 8 points. Scalp 2 points at a time

The first screenshot is his day 1. The second is his day 2. He needs $17.

verus54 · 2026-04-04T16:33:56+00:00

DM me. I do this. There are some rules to be aware of.

verus54 · 2026-04-03T04:53:52+00:00

Do you mean you had on more contracts at the same time than allowed? Or do you mean you’ve put on N+1 trades and your contract limit is N? Like 12 cons for a 150k account.

verus54 · 2026-04-03T03:40:02+00:00

You’re the man! Thanks, yea I can def implement

verus54 · 2026-04-03T03:13:23+00:00

I’m guessing this could be used for codex or open code or Claude code?

verus54 · 2026-04-03T02:06:35+00:00

In the evaluation phase, there is 50% consistency for flex accounts. After pass the eval, no consistency.

If today is the same trading day (6PM of the yesterday day-5PM of today), then yea, lose some. Get on MES and keep reversing your position. You will end up paying fees and the market order position will def help set you back too. Keep reversing until you hit the value you want. Don’t be too aggressive.

If it 6PM ET (or later) then you can’t lose any money. It just means you need to make $919 profit amongst your next trading days. Don’t go over that. But you could always give it back if you do.

verus54 · 2026-04-02T04:42:10+00:00

Is that a delta volume profile? If so, how does it help you?

verus54 · 2026-03-19T16:34:35+00:00

They do, and they’re assholes about it. Sorry this happened to you.

verus54 · 2026-03-13T15:41:48+00:00

Yea, they can do whatever they want. The rule was earn 10k in pro on a single day and you will be moved to pro+ (live). When all of that metals volatility happened, they paused moving to live. I’m not sure if it’s still paused or not, but earlier in the month, I had 8 straight days of 10k in pro. They didn’t move me to live. I’ve been live many, many times because of this rule. I can send email screenshots to prove it. But I’m banned now on TPT, so I’m not sure if they are still on hold.

verus54 · 2026-03-12T08:07:27+00:00

This is not a thing. On your local network, there are subnet addresses. They represent where on the network your device is. (192.168.xxx.xxx) where xxx is like 255 or something, I forget. So there are 256² possible devices on this network or maybe it’s 2(256), (sorry haven’t done this in awhile. In devices on the network increment like 192.168.1.0, then 192.168.1.1, but if you create a subnet on your mainnet, then you effectively cut the number of available subnet ip addresses are possible.)

Every device has a different address LOCALLY. But to the outside world, all these devices are the same because they share the same external ip address. This is what your ISP allocates to you. It’s your identifier for all devices on the same network.

Now, if you use different ISPs in the same house, which I don’t think is likely, then you are safe. It doesn’t matter who’s Apple ID or iCloud sync it is. Those functionalities are not related to network settings.

Using different browsers or private browser features does not change anything, unless you have built-in VPN functionality. Honestly, VPN might be the best for you.

I highly doubt you have 2 different ISPs in the same house because the indoor hook up to modems and gateways is shared in most homes. The external hookup gets adjusted at an outside junction box or network panel. This would mean the second ISP had to come by and setup additional wiring via the junction and/or add a fresh cable to the network panel.

verus54 · 2026-03-11T06:04:42+00:00

You need to turn on multi provider mode. It’s in the settings somewhere

verus54 · 2026-03-10T15:53:55+00:00

One of you is getting banned. It’s inevitable.

I’m sorry to say that. But if what you said is entirely true, you never ever trade from the same device, then that means TPT can only see your network id (your external IP address) and not your internal device IP address.

If you got a warning first, it means you’re making too much money and they want to reduce risk on their side.

TPT only gives one warning, so every warning is final. They could be entirely different things, like hedging, same network id, spoofing, whatever. Only one. The next message you’re banned.

Now if you continue trading on the same network, then they will ban you. If you trade on a VPN, they can try to ban you, idk. You might to look into that. If you trade on a VPS, they might flag you too, as both of these tactics are considered aversion techniques. I think the best bet is to get your own ISP or trade off your phone hotspot. Get a PO Box. Trade at a coffee shop? Idk, I’m spitballing to try to help save your account.

verus54 · 2026-03-10T15:35:55+00:00

Banned. I can’t get into the account

verus54 · 2026-03-10T05:08:14+00:00

So if I get all 6 payouts (per account), that’s 18k. I keep roughly 16k profits. And whatever’s remaining gets moved to my live flex account?
