Who TradeDay fits
Intraday traders who never hold through the close and want early access to profit. TradeDay publishes its own evaluation pass rate: 36% for January to June 2026.
TradeDay's Quick Pay lets you withdraw from the first funded day with no buffer, from $131 a month for 50K, but it pays only 50/50 on the first $4,000 of profit per account. Fast Pass has a 45% consistency rule and an 80/20 split.
