Rows To Inspect First

Consistency changes the pass line

A large winning day does not fail the evaluation in the checked consistency article, but it can increase the total profit needed to pass.

30% or 45%Profit target can move

Fast Pass source conflict

The help article says no minimum trading days. The homepage pricing cards show 3 minimum trading days. Treat the public sources as conflicting until TradeDay confirms the current row.

Needs re-checkFast Pass

Drawdown timing matters

The evaluation help article says Quick Pay and Fast Pass drawdowns are calculated at end of day.

Fast Pass evaluation
Source conflict

Treat Fast Pass timing as unresolved in public sources. Verify checkout, dashboard, support, and account agreement before relying on either minimum-days value.

Consistency calculation
Profit concentration
QuickPay consistency is 30%; FastPass is 45%. The article says a large profitable day is not a failure, but the target total can rise until that day is within the allowed share. For QuickPay, the article gives this formula: best day / 30% = total profits needed. For FastPass: best day / 45% = total profits needed.

What is the consistency objective?, checked July 6, 2026.

Quick Pay funded sim payout
Payout math
Minimum payout request is $250. Requests before 5:30 pm are described as processed within 24 business hours. Split is 50/50 below $4,000 current profit and 80/20 above when the payout leaves profit above $4,000. A payout that crosses below the $4,000 current-profit level uses mixed split math. Verify current profit and the amount left after payout.

Permitted conduct scope
Guidelines
The evaluation article says traders must stay within permitted times, permitted products, and position limits; it distinguishes accidental breaches from abuse. This page does not list every permitted product or position limit. Check the current account row and TradeDay rules before trading size.
