Commission Schedules
These commission schedules show the per-side or round-trip trading costs, including exchange-style fees, used to mimic what trading the same futures contracts would cost in a regular cash brokerage account.
TradeDay does not add extra commission on top of its broker's commission schedule. Simulated commissions are included in evaluation and Funded Sim PnL, while funded live commissions can differ slightly, including a small increase for TradeDayX users. Published commission tables are per side and include brokerage, NFA, clearing, and exchange fees.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
TradeDay does not expose platform APIs directly to traders. Automation may only be used through supported platforms, and third-party algos or bots purchased by the trader are forbidden.
To automate, traders must use one of TradeDay's supported platforms such as NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Jigsaw, or Quantower. TradeDay says it does not expose the Tradovate API for direct automation connections, and accounts using purchased third-party bots or matching multi-user bot behavior can be shut down and suspended.
Copy Trading
Not allowed
TradeDay allows copy trading across evaluations or funded accounts, including copying from a personal account into TradeDay. Traders can have up to six total accounts, with up to three Funded Sim accounts and one Funded Live account. Funded Sim and Funded Live accounts must be traded separately and cannot be copy traded together; copy trading between two or three Funded Sim accounts is allowed.
Business Entity Accounts
Allowed
Microscalping Policy
No public microscalping policy found.
Bots Policy
Third-party bots or automated trading systems purchased by the trader are not allowed.
Allowed Trading Hours
Trading generally resumes after 5:00 PM CT. Overnight trading is allowed, but positions must be closed before the market closes the next day. Funded traders must be flat 10 minutes before the close of the product they are trading, and TradeDayX Funded Live traders must be out by 3:00 PM CT.
Weekend Holding Policy
Not allowed. This seems standard for futures-oriented prop firms.
Move to Live Criteria
Pass the evaluation objectives without breaking max drawdown, then complete funded onboarding in the member dashboard (activation fee, Riseworks onboarding/KYC, rules course, and Funded Sim selection). TradeDay reviews Funded Sim accounts at profit milestones and may move traders to Funded Live based on review or after withdrawal milestones.
Rule Enforcement Notes
TradeDay can shut accounts, deny payouts, or suspend users for prohibited trade practices such as third-party bot usage, multiple users using the same bots, trading patterns that exploit simulated fills, or repeated abuse of trading-time and product guidelines. The firm also performs identity and IP security checks at funded milestones, payout requests, and live transitions.
Refund Policy
TradeDay states that evaluation and membership fees are final and non-refundable after purchase because account opening requires immediate third-party commitments. The terms also state that users are not entitled to a refund if they cancel, fail the challenge, violate the terms, or stop using the service early.
Activation Fee Policy
TradeDay charges a one-off $139 setup fee for Funded Sim accounts. The fee is paid only once, there is no monthly membership fee while funded, and traders who move from Funded Sim to Funded Live do not pay the activation fee again.
VPN Policy
TradeDay does not allow VPS use. Traders using VPNs or any software designed to mask IP location must switch the service off and trade from the address under which the account is registered. TradeDay says these IP security checks can be required when moving to Funded Live, on Funded Sim payout requests, and at Funded Sim milestones.
Payment Methods
Credit/Debit Card
Payout Methods
TradeDay allows payouts from day one after end-of-day settlement once the buffer is cleared. The minimum payout request is $250, profit split starts at 80% on the first $50k withdrawn, rises to 90% between $50k and $100k, and reaches 95% above $100k. Requests submitted before 5:30 PM CT are typically processed within 24 business hours. After the third withdrawal request from Funded Sim, TradeDay may consider moving the trader to Funded Live.
