TradeDay

Trade Day has a straightforward evaluation-to-funded-to-live process. Passed evaluations are funded at EOD. Payout eligibility updates at EOD and is usually in Rise by 6 a.m. the next morning. My live transition took about a month. Payouts in live must be requested by email and take a few days from request until the account is ready to trade. Support was a bit slow and short in answering questions during the time I had a live account, from transition through payout requests. That left me uncertain about a few things during live. To me, it added unnecessary tension.

Despite difficulty to reach 4000, if you want 80/20 split, the payout is real. I request today, already on my rise on the next day.

TradeDay is a no frills prop firm with cheap accounts if you can deal with intraday trailing drawdown in QuickPay plans or Flex type accounts with EOD drawdown in FastPass plans. I personally like the FastPass because I tend to do better in a Flex type account where I can take it slower and get my base hits. The QuickPay really only makes sense if you do 100k or 150k. With the 50/50 profit split on any withdrawals from profits under $4000 dollars, a 25k or 50k doesn't make sense because your target for the 80/20 split is more than twice your drawdown. They did review account connections when I requested a payout, asking me what 'Payout Labs' was. I explained it was a prop journaling software, and they processed my payout shortly after review. Overall reliable firm. Their website is a bit dated and they lack a full dashboard.

At $54 for a 25k QuickPay EOD, this is one of the cheapest 25k EOD accounts out there.

TradeDay offers one of the quickest path's to a payout via the QuickPay accounts. Quickpay accounts take 5 days to pass and allow payouts from day one of funded without the need to hit a buffer; just 50/50 split of profit made. Only downside is Intraday trailing in funded regardless of eval method selected (EoD or Intraday).
