TradeDay Review

TradeDay sells simulated futures evaluations with potential progression to Funded SIM or Funded LIVE accounts, and states that it was founded in 2020. Its homepage advertises Quick Pay and Fast Pass evaluations with account sizes of $25k, $50k, $100k and $150k. TradeDay lists discounted intraday evaluation prices of $45, $59, $108 and $162 per month respectively, and displays end-of-day evaluation prices of $54, $79, $129 and $180; the extracted Fast Pass pricing is not fully attributable to each account size. It also advertises CoPilot resources from $24 per month, without evaluation or funded-account access, and a limited-time mentoring offer of two sessions for $99. The terms say breaching any evaluation rule causes failure, including the trailing drawdown limit, but provide no evidence identifying the most frequent cause of failure. The homepage advertises no activation fee, while post-pass recurring charges are not specified in the supplied text and funded accounts require separate agreements. TradeDay lists Quick Pay Funded SIM splits of 50/50 below $4k net profit and 80/20 above $4k, with 90/10 in Funded LIVE, a $250 minimum payout request and eligibility from the first funded trading day. For Fast Pass, TradeDay lists 80/20 in Funded SIM and 90/10 in Funded LIVE, five qualifying profitable days, 45% consistency and per-cycle payout caps of $750, $1,500, $1,875 and $2,250 across the displayed account tiers. Material conflicts concern evaluation duration, reset prices, drawdown calculation, payout eligibility and promises of immediate live-market funding. The operator is TradeDay LLC, identified as an Illinois limited liability company; governing law is not stated in the supplied terms excerpt, which includes a class-action waiver, discretionary SIM or LIVE placement and non-refundable evaluation fees.

Founded

2020 (6 years ago)

Target Audience

CME futures day traders seeking evaluation-based funding who can comply with trailing drawdown, position limits and mandatory session-end closures.Traders seeking Quick Pay's advertised early payout eligibility who accept its lower initial Funded SIM profit split and minimum request amount.Consistency-focused traders willing to accept Fast Pass qualifying profitable days and capped payout cycles.Traders seeking research and educational resources without an evaluation through CoPilot.

Key Differentiators

TradeDay publishes separate Quick Pay and Fast Pass funded payout structures rather than one universal payout policy.
The homepage offers intraday and end-of-day evaluation drawdown choices, although the terms and affiliate page do not consistently reflect both.
TradeDay advertises Quick Pay with no payout buffer, no funded consistency requirement and payout eligibility from day one, subject to its listed minimum request.
The site identifies SIM and LIVE funded accounts separately; the terms reserve placement discretion to TradeDay.
The privacy policy provides a separate data-protection correspondence address at Northwest Registered Agent SER, 2501 Chatham Road, Suite N, Springfield, Illinois 62704; this is distinct from the published Chicago business address, not evidence of a second operator.
