Quick answer: TradeDay Quick Pay or Fast Pass?

TradeDay is a futures evaluation firm with a published route from simulated accounts to live capital. Quick Pay offers earlier withdrawal access, but its Funded Sim stage always uses intraday trailing drawdown and pays 50% below the qualifying $4,000 current-profit threshold, with 80% treatment only for the qualifying portion above it. Fast Pass keeps EOD drawdown after evaluation and uses an 80% Sim share, five profitable days, consistency and per-cycle caps. The 90% headline applies to Funded Live rather than every funded account.

Verified code: AUDIT. Coupon verification updated: 10 October 2026. AUDIT is the site's active 55% evaluation-fee offer. A $131 QuickPay Intraday 50K regular monthly payment calculates to $58.95 initially; monthly renewal terms are a separate budget item. The 25K tier starts from a $100 regular QuickPay Intraday fee, calculating to $45 with AUDIT. Passing has no activation fee under the published product terms.

Source check: 3 October 2026. Two official Fast Pass presentations differ: the guide describes no independent evaluation-day minimum while the product table says three days, and the 100K funded payout cap is $1,850 in the guide versus $1,875 in the sales table. Three profitable days are still the mathematical minimum to meet a 45% best-day limit. The exact cap should be confirmed in the account agreement. Existing editorial scores are preserved; this update reviews documents rather than firsthand results.

News and automated-trading permissions

Tier-1 news is restricted: TradeDay says it liquidates positions two minutes before covered releases and reopens two minutes afterward. This is not unrestricted news trading. Automation is permitted only within the firm's supported-platform and prohibited-strategy rules; third-party purchased algos/bots and direct Tradovate API connections are not allowed. Read the automation policy and news policy before choosing a strategy.

TradeDay offers QuickPay Intraday, QuickPay EOD and FastPass EOD futures evaluations. Its evaluation subscriptions and funded payout paths are distinct: an EOD evaluation does not necessarily mean EOD drawdown after passing.

Account models and trading rules

QuickPay has five evaluation days and 30% evaluation consistency, while FastPass has three days and 45%. QuickPay Funded Sim uses intraday trailing drawdown even after the EOD evaluation. Its share can be 50% below the qualifying $4,000 profit threshold. FastPass keeps EOD funded drawdown but has its own profitable-day and payout-cap rules.

QuickPay Intraday, QuickPay EOD and FastPass EOD offer different drawdown and evaluation paths. QuickPay starts with a five-day evaluation requirement; FastPass starts with three evaluation days. Funded reward conditions are specific to the selected route.

Additional Account-Type Rules

Quick Pay Evaluation

  • One-step monthly evaluation in $25K, $50K, $100K and $150K sizes.
  • 6% profit target.
  • Five minimum trading days.
  • 30% consistency objective.
  • The trader can select intraday or EOD drawdown at purchase.
  • Maximum drawdown: $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 or $4,500 respectively.
  • There is no separate mandatory DLL; the maximum drawdown is the hard rule.
  • Exceeding consistency does not fail the account, but increases the profit required to pass.
  • No activation fee after passing.

Quick Pay Funded Sim

  • Funded Sim uses intraday trailing drawdown even if the evaluation used EOD.
  • No payout buffer, no payout consistency and no qualifying-day sequence.
  • First withdrawal can be requested after one funded trading day when the account is positive.
  • Minimum request is $250.
  • Profit below the $4,000 threshold is paid 50/50.
  • Profit above $4,000 can receive 80/20 only when the payout also leaves the account above $4,000.
  • A request crossing the threshold is split between 80/20 and 50/50 portions.
  • Gross profit includes current profit plus prior payouts, and the TMD continues to trail from gross profit.
  • At $10,000 gross profit, the account is paused for live review; excess profit above the threshold can be removed.

Fast Pass Evaluation

  • One-step monthly evaluation in $25K, $50K, $100K and $150K sizes.
  • 6% profit target.
  • Three-day practical minimum under the 45% consistency objective. The sales table says three minimum days; the Fast Pass help guide describes no separate minimum-day rule.
  • 45% consistency objective.
  • End-of-day trailing drawdown.
  • Maximum drawdown: $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 or $4,500 respectively.
  • No activation fee after passing.

Fast Pass Funded Sim

  • EOD trailing drawdown.
  • No payout buffer.
  • Five non-consecutive profitable days per cycle.
  • Minimum profitable day: $100 on $25K, $150 on $50K, $200 on $100K and $250 on $150K.
  • Minimum request is $250 and the account must show new net profit.
  • 80/20 split.
  • For accounts opened on or after July 26, 2026, 45% consistency applies to gross profit.
  • Current newer-account caps: $750 on $25K, $1,500 on $50K and $2,250 on $150K. For $100K, the Fast Pass guide states $1,850 while the sales table shows $1,875; confirm the issued agreement and dashboard before planning the withdrawal.
  • Each request is also limited to 50% of the account balance.
  • The TMD locks to starting balance on the first payout if it has not already reached it.
  • The fifth payout triggers a Funded Live transition; earlier promotion remains possible.

Drawdown and Breach Rules

The maximum drawdown is the primary hard rule. Quick Pay evaluation can use intraday or EOD trailing at purchase, while Fast Pass uses EOD. Quick Pay Funded Sim always uses intraday trailing; Fast Pass Funded Sim keeps EOD trailing.

Reaching or exceeding the maximum drawdown closes the account. TradeDay's platform can flatten positions for time and news restrictions, but traders remain responsible for closing orders and cannot rely on automatic liquidation to prevent a breach.

Payout Rules

StageFrequencySplitMain limits
Quick Pay Funded SimAs soon as positive after one funded day50% below $4K; 80% above qualifying $4K balance$250 minimum; intraday TMD
Fast Pass Funded SimFive qualifying profitable days80%45% newer-account consistency, 50% balance limit and size cap
Funded LivePlan policy after promotion90%Live risk, reserve and withdrawal rules

Requests submitted before the published cutoff are generally processed by the next business day. US wires are free; international wires and some crypto networks carry fees. Rise onboarding is required.

Traders should stop trading after a payout request until it is completed. A new Fast Pass payout cycle starts with the next full eligible trading session, not during the session in which payment arrives.

Trading Conditions

  • Permitted CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX futures only.
  • Overnight trading within the same market session is allowed.
  • Positions and working orders must be closed at least 10 minutes before the product's market close.
  • Weekend holding is not permitted.
  • Tier-1 news trading is restricted. TradeDay normally flattens two minutes before a listed release and reopens trading two minutes after.
  • Funded accounts may not trade within 2% of an exchange price limit.
  • Copy trading is allowed from a trader's own personal account into owned TradeDay accounts.
  • Hedging the same product long and short across accounts is prohibited.
  • A trader's own automated system may run on supported platforms under the trading policy. Purchased third-party bots are forbidden and direct platform APIs are not provided. HFT, more than 200 trades per day, seconds-long tick capture and simulated-fill exploitation are prohibited.

Country Restrictions, Compliance and Refunds

Country restrictions, broker availability, KYC and Rise eligibility apply. Traders are independent contractors rather than employees. Evaluation subscriptions, resets and used services are generally non-refundable; abusive strategy findings can also forfeit funded profit.

Entry cost, later charges and reward eligibility

These are monthly evaluation subscriptions, and the final column is the initial payment with the listed coupon. The guide does not assume that the coupon repeats on subscription renewals. TradeDay advertises no funded-account activation fee. Data, resets and other order charges are outside the base table.

The fee is the price to enter the stated simulated trading program; the nominal account balance is not a cash payment to the trader. A lower purchase fee does not increase the maximum-loss allowance or make the account balance withdrawable.

When a program charges monthly, the discounted amount in this guide is the initial payment unless the offer explicitly states a recurring rate. For an entry-plus-activation product, the two payments are shown separately. Trading commissions, swaps, market data, resets, taxes and optional upgrades are outside the base calculation unless a row expressly includes them.

How to use the TradeDay promo code

  1. Open TradeDay's official website.
  2. Choose the eligible account type and account size. Check the platform, payout package and any paid upgrades.
  3. Read the loss rules, reward conditions, country eligibility and payment schedule for that exact configuration.
  4. Enter AUDIT in the discount-code, promo-code or coupon-code field before payment.
  5. Read the revised order summary. Compare the eligible fee, applied rate and any separate taxes or charges with the matching pricing row.
  6. Keep the receipt and the account terms issued with the purchase. For a mismatch, ask the firm's support team about that configuration before completing the order.
