Consistency Rules

Consistency ruleQuickPay (Intraday & EOD) 30% on evaluation only; FastPass EOD 45% on both evaluation and funded. Funded QuickPay traders have no consistency objective.

Firm Rules

Evaluation & Profit Target +
A straightforward 1-Step evaluation across $10K to $250K accounts (QuickPay Intraday/EOD and FastPass EOD), cleared on CME Group execution by reaching the program target.
Drawdown / Max Loss +
An end-of-day maximum drawdown: your loss level is fixed at the close of each day rather than trailing intraday equity.
Consistency Rule +
QuickPay caps a single day at 30% (evaluation only) and FastPass at 45% (evaluation and funded). Funded QuickPay accounts carry no consistency requirement.
News Trading +
Not allowed — positions auto-close 2 minutes before Tier-1 releases and the market reopens 2 minutes after. Accidental news trades won't fail you, but traders who ignore and abuse the policy lose the account.
Expert Advisors +
EAs are allowed, but third-party purchased bots and algos are forbidden. If several users are placing identical trades, all the accounts are shut down and the users suspended.
Copy Trading +
Permitted across your own evaluation and funded-sim accounts, and from a personal external account inward. Funded Live and Funded Sim must be traded separately; copying between two or three Funded Sim accounts is fine.
Prohibited: Gap / HFT / Hedging +
Trading gapped, illiquid markets for stray fills, high-frequency scalping systems, and holding long in one account while short in another on the same product are all banned.
VPN Usage +
Masking your trading location with a VPN or VPS is not allowed.
Payout & Withdrawal +
TradeDay has a long, reliable payout reputation, and the current promo waives the activation fee.
