AI Review

TradeDay is a US futures prop firm operating since January 2020, built around a single fail condition — the maximum drawdown — and day-one payout eligibility. Accounts run at $50K, $100K and $150K across two evaluation tracks: Quick Pay (5 minimum trading days, 30% consistency) and Fast Pass (no minimum days, 45% consistency). The firm publishes verified payout certificates totalling over $10 million and, unusually for the sector, discloses its evaluation pass rate — 36% between January and June 2026.
