Head to head · 33 criteria compared Funded Trading Plus wins this comparison (8 against 3). TradeDay stays relevant for traders whose priorities differ from the average.
A London firm founded in late 2021 and bought by Instant Funding in May 2026, Funded Trading Plus pays every 7 days on its 1-Step Express and Instant programs, with the split rising from 80 to 100% and scaling up to $5 million. The catch: intraday trailing drawdown on both, and a Trustpilot score the platform has pulled.
Criteria won: 8 / 33
TradeDay was founded in Chicago in 2020 by two former institutional market professionals, and that background shows in the rulebook: no daily loss limit, news trading and scalping allowed, and withdrawals available from day one. The May 2026 rework dropped static drawdown accounts in favour of two paths, Quick Pay and Fast Pass.

Choose Funded Trading Plus if… Choose TradeDay if… TradeDay has been running since 2020, 1 years longer than Funded Trading Plus. Our trust pillar scores them 74/100 and 85/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
Funded Trading Plus opens at $89 against $131 for TradeDay, a moderate gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $549 for Funded Trading Plus against $240 for TradeDay. The headline fee is rarely the real cost, though: what matters is the price of a reset after a failed attempt, whether the fee comes back on the first payout, and whether an activation fee appears when you move to a funded account. Compare those three lines in the table above before deciding on price alone.
Funded Trading Plus applies a trailing intraday drawdown capped at 6 %, with a 4 % daily limit. TradeDay applies a trailing intraday drawdown. Both use the same model, so the difference plays out on the percentages rather than on the mechanism.
Funded Trading Plus keeps 100 % of profits, then pays Every 7 days on 1-Step Express and Instant; every 10 days on 2-Step Classic. TradeDay keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 0 days, then pays On demand from the first day, minimum $250 per withdrawal. Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
Funded Trading Plus is the only one of the two to offer mt5, ctrader, dxtrade, match-trader. TradeDay covers tradovate, rithmic, ninjatrader, tradingview, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
