Quick Pay: payouts from the first funded day, from any profit, $250 minimum, no buffer. The split is 50/50 while the account holds less than $4,000 of profit and 80/20 on profit above that; taking every payout as it comes keeps it at 50/50, which is how it's modeled. The floor trails your highest balance, payouts included, until it reaches the starting balance, then stops. At $10,000 of total profit (payouts included) the account is paused for review and usually moved to Funded Live (90/10); profit above $10,000 is forfeited. Funded accounts always use an intraday drawdown. Positions are closed automatically 2 minutes before and after tier 1 releases (FOMC, CPI, NFP, and EIA for energy). Up to 5 funded accounts at once (10 accounts in total); copy trading from your own account is allowed. Strategies over 200 trades a day or holding trades for a few seconds are banned. Resets cost the same as a month.

How it plays by strategy

Ranked against all 29 50K accounts by EV per attempt: what one attempt is worth on average once fees are paid. Higher is better; below zero means the fees outweigh the expected payouts.

Quick Pay: payouts from the first funded day, from any profit, $250 minimum, no buffer. The split is 50/50 while the account holds less than $4,000 of profit and 80/20 on profit above that; taking every payout as it comes keeps it at 50/50, which is how it's modeled. The floor trails your highest balance, payouts included, until it reaches the starting balance, then stops. At $10,000 of total profit (payouts included) the account is paused for review and usually moved to Funded Live (90/10); profit above $10,000 is forfeited. End-of-day drawdown in the evaluation; the funded account switches to an intraday drawdown. Positions are closed automatically 2 minutes before and after tier 1 releases (FOMC, CPI, NFP, and EIA for energy). Up to 5 funded accounts at once (10 accounts in total); copy trading from your own account is allowed. Strategies over 200 trades a day or holding trades for a few seconds are banned. Resets cost the same as a month.

How it plays by strategy

Ranked against all 23 150K accounts by EV per attempt: what one attempt is worth on average once fees are paid. Higher is better; below zero means the fees outweigh the expected payouts.

Fast Pass: 80/20 from the start. Each payout needs 5 profitable days of at least $250 and a net profit since the last payout; it can take at most 50% of the profit and at most $2,250. The first payout moves the floor up to the starting balance, where it stays. Funded consistency 45%: no day over 45% of all profit, payouts included (accounts opened from 26 Jul 2026). Funded position limit starts at 4 contracts and grows by 1 per $2,000 of profit (not modeled). End-of-day drawdown throughout. TradeDay's help page says 3 minimum trading days; its home page FAQ says there's no minimum. Positions are closed automatically 2 minutes before and after tier 1 releases (FOMC, CPI, NFP, and EIA for energy). Up to 5 funded accounts at once (10 accounts in total); copy trading from your own account is allowed. Strategies over 200 trades a day or holding trades for a few seconds are banned.
