TradeDay rules, explained

TradeDay is unusually flexible on drawdown type and light on extra rules — which shifts where your risk actually sits.

Drawdown — intraday, end-of-day or static

On a 50K account the trailing drawdown is $2,000, and TradeDay lets you pick how it behaves: intraday (follows unrealized highs), end-of-day (closing balance only), or static (a fixed floor). The trailing versions freeze at your starting balance once you have banked enough. Choosing the right type for your style matters more here than at most firms.

No daily loss limit, no consistency rule

TradeDay funded accounts have no daily loss limit and no consistency cap. That is freeing, but it means the trailing drawdown is the only hard constraint — there is no per-day backstop and no payout penalty for an uneven day.

Payouts

Plan around clearing your buffer (starting balance plus the max drawdown) and the minimum trading days before a first withdrawal.
