TradeDay Review
A futures-first, fast-paying, and rule-transparent. You can pass the single-phase evaluation in as few as 5 (non-consecutive) trading days, then request day-1 payouts on demand-processed within 24 business hours-via free U.S. bank wire or crypto through RiseWorks (international wires supported). Profit share starts at 80% and scales to 95% lifetime. Platform coverage is broad for listed futures-Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView, Quantower, Jigsaw, and TradeDayX-and the published “buffer zone” payout rules (with examples/fees) reduce guesswork. Scope is clean: CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX only, with a Help Center in EN/FR/ES/PT.
Trade-offs: a $139 activation fee on funding (sometimes waived by promo), a recurring monthly sub for the evaluation with no refunds, and no instant-funding route. The $250 minimum plus the buffer can delay your first withdrawal, geographic restrictions apply, and it’s futures-only (no MT4/MT5, CFDs, stocks, or spot crypto). Verdict: a strong pick for disciplined intraday futures traders who value fast, predictable payouts and clear rules-less ideal if you need instant funding or multi-asset flexibility.
