drawdown & rules

Drawdown Type: Quick Pay Intraday: trailing, calculated intraday in the evaluation and the Funded Sim account | 25K $1,000 | 50K $2,000 | 100K $3,000 | 150K $4,500 Quick Pay EOD: trailing, calculated at the end of the day in the evaluation | calculated intraday in the Funded Sim account | 25K $1,000 | 50K $2,000 | 100K $3,000 | 150K $4,500 Fast Pass EOD: trailing, calculated at the end of the day in the evaluation and the Funded Sim account | 25K $1,000 | 50K $2,000 | 100K $3,000 | 150K $4,500 All plans: the drawdown stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance (100K: $97,000 freezes at $100,000 when the balance reaches $103,000) | an end-of-day level is still enforced in real time Quick Pay Funded Sim: the drawdown trails on gross profit (current profit plus payouts), so a payout does not lower it and each payout reduces the room between the balance and the drawdown (50K: $500 profit lifts the drawdown to $48,500, a $500 payout leaves the balance at $50,000 with the drawdown still at $48,500, and the next $300 profit lifts it to $48,800) Fast Pass Funded Sim: on the first payout request the drawdown moves up to the starting balance and stays there
Daily Loss Limit: None on any plan. Traders can set their own optional daily or weekly loss limit in the Tradovate risk settings, which locks the account for the rest of the session
Consistency Rule: Quick Pay: 30% in the evaluation | none in the Funded Sim account Fast Pass: 45% in the evaluation | 45% in the Funded Sim account Measured as the best day's profit against total profit so far | a bigger day does not fail the evaluation, the target rises instead (best day divided by 30% or 45%) Fast Pass Funded Sim: applies to accounts opened on or after 26 Jul 2026 and uses gross profit (current profit plus payouts)
Contract / Scaling Limits: Evaluation (all plans): 25K 2 minis / 20 micros | 50K 5 minis / 50 micros | 100K 10 minis / 50 micros | 150K 15 minis / 50 micros Quick Pay Funded Sim: same limits as the evaluation Fast Pass Funded Sim: starts at 25K 1 mini / 10 micros | 50K 2 minis / 20 micros | 100K 3 minis / 30 micros | 150K 4 minis / 40 micros | +1 contract per $2,000 of end-of-day profit | 25K capped at 2 minis Micros count 10 to a mini and can be mixed with minis up to the account's contract limit, never more than 50 micros | metals use the mini count and Micro Silver counts as a full contract | accidental breaches do not fail an account, repeated ones lose it
News Trading: Restricted around Tier 1 releases on every account: open positions are auto-closed 2 minutes before and trading reopens 2 minutes after FOMC minutes and rate decisions, US CPI and Non-Farm Payrolls (all products), EIA crude oil inventories (oil contracts only), EIA natural gas inventories (gas contracts only) and crop reports (agricultural contracts only) | other news is allowed | accidental breaches do not fail the account
Overnight / Weekend Holding: Not allowed. Positions must be flat 10 minutes before the daily close: TradeDay auto-closes them at 3:50 PM CT, and products that close earlier must be closed by the trader | trading can start at the 5:00 PM CT open and run through the night, but every position must be closed before that session's close, so nothing is held over the weekend
Other Key Rules: Minimum trading days (evaluation): Quick Pay 5 | Fast Pass 3 | no time limit, and days need not be consecutive Billing: every 30 days until the trader passes or cancels | billing stops on passing | no refunds after purchase, except a forgotten renewal, refunded minus 20% if claimed within 72 hours with no trading or third-party connection since | a failed account is reset free at the next renewal, or a reset can be bought at the plan's reset price Multiple accounts: up to 10 at once | max 5 active Funded Sim (further passes wait in a queue) and 5 Funded Live | one username per household Copy trading: across evaluation and Funded Sim accounts (2 to 10) or between up to 5 Funded Live accounts, and from a personal account into TradeDay | not between Funded Live and the other account types Automation: own systems on NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Jigsaw or Quantower | bots bought from third parties are banned | no API access Banned: hedging across accounts, order splitting, microscalping (most trades or profit from holds under about 10 seconds), more than 200 trades a day, VPN, VPS or IP masking, and trading within 2% of a price limit once funded Inactivity: no fee or minimum | an account dormant for 30 days may be offboarded | Tradovate archives an account not logged into for more than a calendar month, and TradeDay then counts it as failed (a reset or new account is needed) Copilot: $24 per month members-area add-on with no trading platform access
