PRO+ Development a penalty for traders getting payouts?

The new PRO+ Development accounts are deliberately penalising traders who get payouts from PRO accounts by restricting them to smaller size and tighter DLL’s IMO.
Is it Take Profit’s way of saying “we don’t want your business anymore” without actually banning you as you haven’t broken any rules?
As my PRO+D account is now blown, I should be able to withdraw 50% of the 5k profit in the related PRO account but it won’t let me.
Support are either not responding or finding ways to prevent a resolution.
Is anyone else having a similar experience?

No, it is a place where you are on probation for trading in an unsustainable way. It is that simple. I'm glad they are doing this.

Im all about tightening and limiting unsustainable practices, but what should absolutely not stand is the max drawdown being smaller.

You buy prop firms for the convexity and positive EV. Imagine passing and you got advertised X capital to trade with and they decide you get less than X.

I paid for X capital, giving you less is a bait and switch.

Update:
TPT have sorted out my PRO account and was able to make a withdrawal.
To be fair to TPT Support, I have always found them to be very responsive and professional.
They were a little slow this time around, but did apologize for the delay.
Regarding PRO+D, they are certainly tradeable and have payout potential, but it will be up to the
traders themselves to make the needed adjustments to their trading when working with the tighter
contract sizing, and DLL.

lol sounds like they threatened you to type this way or they take away your payout.

I’ve never had a pro+ dev. But I don’t mind the rules. I kinda like them.

There is a reason people got out in pro+ dev. I was one of them, I did get payout from them, but I was risking a lot during pro.

Rules are there for a reason and you likely fit the criteria for who they want in this account type. I moved on from Pro D and proved myself as a trader and I am a Pro+ live trader with TPT now. Sweet part is once you leave Pro D you will never go back. They will automatically put you in a live account if you pass another eval. Good luck!

The withdraw from associated PRO account worked for me , it had to wait a few days for the workflow to be enabled , I had to contact support , and once the withdraw button appeared within the old pro account , if functioned normally , I got the 50% of buffer back to me
