TradeDay Review 2026: Quick Pay vs Fast Pass and the 2.0 Changes
PickMyFuturesProp · 2026-06-17
TradeDay is one of the best-value firms I track — no activation fee, day-one payouts, and a relaunched 2.0 lineup. Here's Quick Pay vs Fast Pass and the split detail you need to read first.
TradeDay has been around since 2020, which in prop-firm years makes it an elder statesman. It's an education-forward, US-based firm, and it recently relaunched as TradeDay 2.0 — the old Static drawdown option is gone, and the lineup is now two clean account families. It's quietly one of the best-value firms I track, so it's worth understanding how the two paths differ before you buy.
The headline perks apply across the board: no activation fee, day-one payouts on the proven model, a $250 minimum withdrawal, and payouts handled through Rise. With code PICK you're looking at 50% off — that puts the 50K Quick Pay around $87.
Quick Pay vs Fast Pass
- Quick Pay is the proven model, running since 2020. You pick your drawdown style — End-of-Day or Intraday trailing — pass with a 30% eval consistency rule over a minimum of 5 days, and then you can withdraw from day one with no buffer milestone to clear first. This is the one I'd default to: it's flexible and it pays fast.
- Fast Pass (End-of-Day only) is built to get you funded quicker — there's no minimum eval day count (you can pass in about three), but the trade-off is a stiffer 45% eval consistency rule and a more structured funded payout (five profitable days, with thresholds that scale by account size). It also scales your funded position limit, adding a contract for roughly every $2,000 in profit.
The split detail to read before you buy
This is the part people miss. Under 2.0, the split is calculated per individual account on gross profit (not lifetime), and it's tiered: funded payouts above $4,000 net profit are 80/20, but below that level they're 50/50. So your first chunk of profit is split evenly, and you only reach the generous 80/20 once you're past $4K. Know that going in — it's not a knock, but it changes the math on small early withdrawals.
Payouts
Payouts on Quick Pay start day one with a $250 minimum, and requests in before 5:30pm CT process the next business day — fast and predictable, which is the whole point of the brand. Fast Pass trades some of that speed for a structured schedule once funded. Either way, there's no activation fee waiting to surprise you after you pass, which is more than a lot of firms can say.
So who's it for?
If you want the simplest, fastest-paying path and the flexibility to choose your drawdown style — Quick Pay, every time. If your priority is getting funded as fast as humanly possible and you can live with the 45% consistency rule — Fast Pass. Either way, line TradeDay up in the comparison against the other firms I track; on pure value it holds up against almost anyone.
