What TradeDay actually requires (2026)
Answer
TradeDay runs 1 program (3 rule sets) on file — on the flagship $50K Quick Pay Intraday, the binding limit is 4% max drawdown. The corpus was re-checked 2026-09-06: the cited wording was no longer found — the rule may have changed; check the source link.
Current rule snapshot
| Program | Account size | Drawdown | Daily loss | Consistency cap | Profit split | Payout cycle | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quick Pay Intraday | $50K | Trailing, intraday — the floor moves continuously while a position is open — 4% | none imposed by the firm | no single trading day may account for more than 30% of total profit (a breach raises the profit target rather than failing the account) | 50% | not recorded | 30 July 2026 |
| Quick Pay Intraday | $100K | Trailing, intraday — the floor moves continuously while a position is open — 3% | none imposed by the firm | no single trading day may account for more than 30% of total profit (a breach raises the profit target rather than failing the account) | 50% | not recorded | 30 July 2026 |

Every cell above resolves to a sourced field in PropSurvival’s maintained rule corpus or is printed as "not recorded" — nothing shown here is estimated.
What it means for a trader
TradeDay's single program models a 4% trailing, intraday drawdown floor (moves continuously while a position is open). No daily loss limit applies to this program — the firm’s own rules impose none.
Worked example: on the $50K Quick Pay Intraday account, the drawdown floor sits at a hard $2,000 — read straight off this program’s own rule file for this size. (see the freshness note above)
