TradeDay rules

16 rules apply at TradeDay whichever account you buy. 6 are conditional, and those are the ones that end accounts, so read the detail. Below them: the platforms, data feeds, hours and the countries it refuses.
  • QuickPay evaluations: 30% consistency cap per day's profit. FastPass: 45%. Exceeding it raises the profit target needed to pass rather than failing the evaluation.

  • Funded consistency

    Conditional

    QuickPay Funded Sim: no consistency requirement. FastPass Funded Sim (accounts opened on/after Jul 26, 2026): 45% cap on gross profit per day before payout.

  • News trading

    Conditional

    Tier-1 releases (FOMC, CPI, NFP, oil/gas inventories, crop reports) auto-liquidate positions 2 min before and reopen 2 min after; all other news trading is unrestricted.

  • Swing trading

    Not allowed
  • Yes. TradeDay allows trade copiers across your own Evaluation and Funded Sim accounts, or between up to five Funded Live accounts, but not across those groups. You may also copy from your personal accounts elsewhere into TradeDay.

  • Algorithmic trading

    Conditional

    Automated trading must run on a supported platform (NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Jigsaw, Quantower); third-party purchased bots and direct API access are banned.

  • Scalping

    Conditional

    General scalping is fine; bans HFT-automated scalping, over 200 trades/day, queue-gaming, and microscalping where sub-10-second trades dominate account activity/profit.

  • Scaling into a position at different price levels is allowed; splitting one intended order into many identical orders at the same price/time (order stacking) is banned.

  • Hedging

    Not allowed
  • VPN use

    Not allowed
  • VPS use

    Not allowed
  • KYC

    Applies

    Yes. TradeDay requires KYC and AML checks when you are funded, run by its broker, clearing firm and Riseworks. You must provide a government-issued ID plus a bank statement or utility bill as proof of address. If you fail, the funded account is not opened and setup, activation and passed-evaluation fees are refunded.

  • Evaluation time limit

    None
  • TradeDay charges no inactivity fee itself, but Tradovate auto-archives any account not logged into for 30+ days; the account is then treated as failed and needs a reset or new purchase.

  • QuickPay Funded Sim is reviewed for Funded Live at $10,000 gross profit per account. FastPass Funded Sim moves to Funded Live automatically on the 5th payout request.
