Live account

Most accounts here stay simulated for the account's whole life: the firm pays you out of its own revenue, and no real money ever changes hands in your trades. TradeDay is different — it also runs a real, live-capital account that some traders graduate into.

How you qualify

A real, near-automatic numeric trigger: each Funded Sim account is independently reviewed at exactly $10,000 GROSS profit (realized profit + withdrawals already taken). Trading is auto-paused at the EOD run the day the threshold is crossed; any profit above $10,000 is clawed back to the threshold before review.

What changes once you're live

How much balance carries over to live scales contract limits with it. Split is genuinely two-tiered: the buffer portion carried over pays only 50%, while profit EARNED ABOVE that buffer pays 90%. Same max-drawdown and 2%-of-price-limit rules carry over from Sim unchanged.

Worth knowing

If a funded account is lost with a positive balance, remaining profit is still paid out -- EXCEPT profit from Tier-1 news trading, trades outside permitted hours, prohibited-practice violations, or repeated guideline abuse, all forfeited. TradeDay can occasionally skip Funded Sim entirely based on trading history.

About TradeDay

A single Trading Combine account, billed monthly, with two independent choices at checkout: your payment plan (QuickPay or FastPass) and your drawdown type (Intraday or End of Day). Reset costs always match whatever you originally paid, so there's never a surprise on that front.
