Nov 08,2024As a newly funded trader, I am very happy with the amount of educational resources. TradeDay provides an astonishing amount of courses to learn and refresh the skills needed to be successful. I never felt like the evaluation process was setting me up to fail, it was the opposite. TradeDay has been there every step of the way with any help needed to further my success! And the evaluation process if very fair. It does not allow you to gamble and pass instantly, it sets you up to be consistent so that once funded.. you start earning! Oh, and the customer service.. amazing! Quick and detailed responses!

Nov 07,2024Trade Day is shaping up to be a fantastic option for serious day traders looking to grow their skills with the support of a professional prop firm. They offer advanced tools, realistic funding criteria, and a transparent evaluation process that encourages discipline and consistency—qualities every successful trader needs. Their commitment to creating a sustainable trading environment really sets them apart, giving traders the structure to build a lasting career. Trade Day is definitely a prop firm with a bright future, and I highly recommend it to anyone ready to take their trading journey to the next level!

Nov 01,2024TradeDay is one of the best futures prop firms in the industry. I believe that this is the only prop firm among the big ones which offers a live brokerage account right after passing evaluation. TradeDay takes evaluation and funding seriously. In fact, after I passed my evaluation, I had to do a mandatory course on CME rules and regulations before getting my live account. Rules are the same across evaluation and live accounts with respect to drawdown and maximum contracts. Some firms decrease the maximum number of contracts in the live funded account, but not TradeDay which helps traders continue with the same strategies across both accounts. Moreover, TradeDay's profit targets up to 100k accounts are less compared to most firms making it fair play. I have received payouts (min. withdrawal is $250) in my Rise account within 24-48 hours of withdrawal request which is an additional perk. Customer support is prompt and courteous. FAQ is thorough and frequently updated. They have tons of learning material for novice traders. Their dashboard also has useful content such as audio commentary of the markets, daily / weekly outlook, etc. all of which are invaluable to active traders. If you are SERIOUS about making a living by trading other people's money, look no further, TradeDay will get you there. If you are learning how to trade, you can choose other firms, but I recommend returning to TradeDay once you are confident. From my experience I would suggest novice traders to reach profit targets slowly with minimal position sizing, and continue with the same pattern after getting live funded. As traders will be trading a live brokerage account, they should risk less to ensure they don't lose the account.

Oct 31,2024After being with another prop firm that went from good to very bad, I have spent the last few months researching many firms, trying my best to pick the one I think I'd like to stay with for years to come, and one that I think will be around for years to come. My conclusion is that Trade Day is the real deal, unlike a lot of these companies that are "gamified". The customer service is great. I asked so many questions and they were all patiently answered, mostly by Rosemarie. And more than once, when I asked for clarification, James (one of the founders and CEO) stepped in and answered my questions in more detail. Something important to a lot of traders is the trailing drawdown issue. The intraday drawdown that a lot of firms use is just not reflective of real trading. Trade Day uses an End of Day trailing drawdown, in both the evaluation accounts and the funded accounts. Very nice! Another very nice thing is that they let you keep your first 10k in profits and then 90% after that. All in all, I'm very happy to have found what I feel is a really great company!

Oct 26,2024I love Trade Day! I find their customer support team thorough and caring for their traders, one of the fastest paying firms in the entire space, and stability within the company reassuring and safe. I enjoy trading with TD, and I look forward to reaching a love account with them one day!

Oct 25,2024I have tried several prop firms over seas up and passed just one evaluation up until the MetaQuote regulation that happened not too long ago that forces the firm to no longer accept USA traders for their clients. I got back into Futures and tried Apex, Take Profit Trader, and a few other futures. This here is the most solid. It may be a bit expensive compared to competition but its worth it and don't let that scare you away. The large daily drawdown help a lot compared to competitions with the same account size. And they use EOD, End of Day Trailing Drawdown, not Intraday Drawdown. Just google or Reddit and you see how quickly anyone can blow a funding account or lose their evaluation with an Intraday Daily Drawdown. The opportunity to go to a LIVE account is a big plus and best of all, withdraw anyday you want to and not wait for 2 weeks like other firms to rack up money from the eval fees to pay you. The 7 days trading seem steep but it really mentalize you to be consistence, it helps you to be a trader and not a gambler. Also considering they are in Chicago USA, there no worries about regulation and not getting paid.

Oct 22,2024Tradeday is definitely the best futures funding company. Fair and no hidden rules!
Daniel Husby
Oct 22,2024Encourages consistency over gambling, and once you get funded there are no strange rules to get payouts. Just make the buffer, and your're all good! Customer service has also been very responsive and professional.

Oct 17,2024Not sure but I've been having some unauthorized charges on my card and I've contacted trade day CEO and he is rude. Lack of empathy for fraud on my account instead he threatens to submit evidence to PayPal about the account that I did not purchase myself.
