A large winning day does not by itself fail a TradeDay evaluation. It can increase the total profit needed to satisfy consistency. Quick Pay uses 30%; Fast Pass uses 45%. Divide the best day's profit by the relevant percentage, then compare the result with the original target.
Prop Firm Audit records AUDIT for 55% off covered TradeDay evaluation purchases. The fee reduction leaves the consistency calculation unchanged. Rules and public prices checked September 18, 2026; this guide concerns futures evaluations.
The adjusted-target formula
Let the original profit target be T, the largest profitable day be B, and the consistency percentage be C expressed as a decimal.
Working profit requirement = greater of T and B ÷ C
Additional net profit needed = greater of zero and working requirement − current net profit
TradeDay explains that an oversized day raises the target rather than automatically failing the evaluation. Its progress display compares daily profit with profit earned so far. Source: official consistency objective.
Round a required total upward to the next cent when division produces a fraction of a cent. Ordinary rounding downward could leave the best-day percentage slightly above the limit.
Compare the same winning day under both percentages
These are worked examples using a $3,000 original target. They isolate consistency and do not imply that all other conditions are identical.
| Best profitable day | Quick Pay: B ÷ 30% | Quick Pay working requirement | Fast Pass: B ÷ 45%, rounded up | Fast Pass working requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $750 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $1,666.67 | $3,000 |
| $900 | $3,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 | $3,000 |
| $1,200 | $4,000 | $4,000 | $2,666.67 | $3,000 |
| $1,800 | $6,000 | $6,000 | $4,000 | $4,000 |
For a $3,000 target, the best-day amounts that fit exactly at the original target are $900 at 30% and $1,350 at 45%. Those figures are planning boundaries, not instructions to force a particular daily result.
Example with a losing day afterward
Assume Quick Pay, a $1,200 best day and $3,200 current total net profit. The working requirement is $4,000, leaving $800.
A subsequent $200 net losing day reduces total profit to $3,000. The best day remains $1,200, so the working requirement stays $4,000 and the gap becomes $1,000.
This shows why gross winning days alone are not a complete progress record. Update both the best-day amount and cumulative net result after every session.
Example with a new best day
If the next session produces $1,500, replace $1,200 with $1,500 in the formula. At 30%, the requirement becomes $5,000. A larger winning session may increase both account profit and the consistency threshold.
Do not keep using yesterday's target simply because it was correct when calculated.
Why the first day can show as inconsistent
If the account has traded only one profitable day, that day represents all of the profit so far. The percentage can fall as additional net profit accumulates without a larger best day. An early status indicator is therefore not the same as an evaluation failure. This is explained in TradeDay's consistency FAQ.
Purchase-price calculations with AUDIT
The public pricing page displays the following undiscounted references. The calculated column applies the site's recorded 55% AUDIT offer; it is not an authenticated checkout quote.
| Evaluation configuration | Displayed base monthly price | AUDIT saving, 55% | Calculated price after code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick Pay 25K Intraday | $100.00 | $55.00 | $45.00 |
| Quick Pay 25K EOD evaluation, intraday funded | $120.00 | $66.00 | $54.00 |
| Quick Pay 50K Intraday | $131.00 | $72.05 | $58.95 |
| Fast Pass 50K EOD | $189.00 | $103.95 | $85.05 |

The public promotional cards round some totals to whole dollars. Do not mistake those display values for exact AUDIT checkout cents. Confirm the accepted total, subsequent billing and reset treatment separately. Do not apply another 55% reduction to an already discounted figure.
Use a session worksheet, not a profit chase
Record five fields: original target, best net day, total net profit, current consistency percentage and additional amount needed. Keep loss limits and contract permissions alongside them.
Passing the arithmetic test does not prove the entire evaluation is complete. Other account requirements still apply. TradeDay's public pages also differ in how they describe Fast Pass minimum days, so confirm that condition in the purchased account rather than inferring it from the calculator.
Choose the evaluation structure before applying AUDIT. A lower fee cannot compensate for a consistency model that does not match the way your strategy produces profits.
