TradeDay Quick Pay vs Fast Pass: every rule compared
TradeDay 2.0 replaced its old lineup with two routes on 29 May 2026. One pays from day one at a lower split, the other funds faster and keeps a consistency rule once funded.
TradeDay plans on one grid
| Rule | Quick Pay | Fast Pass |

| Evaluation drawdown | trailing, intraday or EOD chosen at purchase; $2,000 on 50K | EOD trailing only |
| Funded drawdown | same type; fixed at the starting balance from the first payout | same |
| Daily loss limit | none | none |
| Consistency, evaluation | 30% per day; breach raises the target instead of failing | 45% |
| Consistency, funded | none | 45% of gross profits for accounts opened from 26 July 2026; none before |
| Minimum days to pass | 5 | 3 |
| Funded payout gate | none, day one | five profitable days |
| Split | 50/50 on the first $4,000 of net profit per account, then 80/20; no buffer | 80/20 flat; requests capped at 50% of balance plus tier caps |
| Contracts | 5 / 10 / 15 on 50K / 100K / 150K, 50 micros max; Funded Sim opens at 3 contracts, +1 per $2,000 EOD profit | same |
| Overnight | no; flat by 4 pm CT | no |
| Automation | Verify with firm | Verify with firm |
Which one for a systematic strategy
Quick Pay for a strategy that wants to be paid immediately and can absorb the 50/50 split on the first $4,000: the funded account has no consistency rule and no buffer, so the only thing between passing and a payout is profit. Fast Pass for a strategy that passes quickly (3 days) and produces even days, because the 45% rule now follows the account into the funded stage and five profitable days precede each request. The intraday option on Quick Pay is the only intraday trail at TradeDay; a strategy that gives back open profit should take EOD at purchase.
