TradeDayTradeDay 25K Quick Pay Intraday: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
TradeDay 25K Quick Pay Intraday ranks #31 of the 64 25K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 52. Its strongest part is cost, its weakest is rules.
One try costs $40. The evaluation needs $1,500 on a $1,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 4.1). The funded account needs $500 on a $1,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 1.6). Together that is about 1 in 6.7 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $269 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,011).
A steady trader making $100 a day gets the first payout after 18 trading days and keeps $3,150 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$269 per first payout98
