TradeDay
Futures · Trustpilot 4.6/5
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.

Our analysis
Risk rules side by side
My Funded Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %. TradeDay applies a trailing intraday drawdown. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
Payout terms compared
My Funded Futures keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 1 days, then pays Rapid : toutes les 24 h (minimum 500 $) ; Builder : toutes les 48 h ; Pro : cycle de 14 jours (minimum 1 000 $, plafond 100 000 $ par cycle). TradeDay keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 0 days, then pays a la demande des le premier jour, minimum 250 $ par retrait. 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.
Platforms and instruments
My Funded Futures is the only one of the two to offer quantower, volumetrica. TradeDay covers rithmic, 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.
Trust and longevity
TradeDay has been running since 2020, 3 years longer than My Funded Futures. On Trustpilot they sit at 4.9/5 and 4.6/5 respectively. Our trust pillar scores them 83/100 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.
