TradeDay

Overview

TradeDay runs futures evaluations across three drawdown styles — intraday trailing, end-of-day trailing, and static — with no activation fees on funded accounts and payouts available from day one after passing. Profit split starts at 80% and steps up to 90% after the first $50,000 withdrawn. The firm bundles education and mentoring into the evaluation fee, which is uncommon at this price point.

Who it's for

This is a fit for traders who want to evaluate on a familiar futures stack — Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView, Jigsaw and Rithmic (coming soon) — and who may want to scale across multiple accounts. TradeDay allows up to six concurrent funded accounts.

It is not a fit for news traders, but they do allow copy trading on the same account.

Standout features

• Three distinct drawdown structures (intraday trailing, end-of-day trailing, static) at the same $50K/$100K/$150K sizes, so you can pick the rule style that matches your strategy. If your strategy can work with an intraday drawdown, you'll save a few bucks on the evaluation.
• No activation fee on funded accounts, which is so refreshing.
• Up to 6 concurrent funded accounts, useful for traders who want to stack size or split strategies.
• Profit split escalates from 80% to 90% after $50,000 in withdrawals — a clear path to a higher cut for consistent performers.
• Education and mentoring are included with the evaluation, not sold as an add-on. You'll also get a squawk service included.

Watch-outs

• A 30% consistency rule applies during the evaluation across all three products. No single day can represent more than 30% of total profit, which forces steady performance and can frustrate traders who rely on a few outsized sessions.
• News trading is not allowed. If your edge is around economic releases, this firm rules you out.
• The Static product is heavily position-capped: the $50K tier allows just 1 mini (10 micros), the $100K allows 2 minis, and the $150K allows 3 minis. The tighter drawdowns ($500/$750/$1,000) come with proportionally tighter size.

Bottom line

TradeDay is a credible pick for intraday futures traders who value choice in drawdown mechanics, want to scale to multiple funded accounts, and don't trade news. The pricing is mid-market ($125–$375 depending on size and drawdown type), and even less expensive with a code. The platform list covers what most futures traders actually use, and the 80%-to-90% split progression is straightforward. The 30% consistency rule and the no-news restrictions could be real constraints, depending on your trading style. If you're a disciplined day trader who can produce steady profit curves and wants the option to choose between intraday-trailing, EOD, and static drawdown rules at the same account sizes, TradeDay is worth a serious look.
