TradeDay vs Earn2Trade
Our call: TradeDay (7.0 vs 6.0). Real live-capital path, day-one uncapped payouts, rare founder honesty on pass rates — but the row-by-row below shows where Earn2Trade still wins.
TradeDay7.0 | Earn2Trade6.0 | |
|---|---|---|
| Score | 7.0 / 10 | 6.0 / 10 |
| Eval cost (50K) | $59/mo | $85/mo + $139 fee |
| Activation fee | $0 | $139 |
| Drawdown | EOD + intraday (changes on pass) | intraday (changes on pass) |
| Consistency | 30 to 45% eval, 45% funded | 30% eval, none funded |
| Profit split | Quick Pay: 50/50 while current profit is under $4K → 80/20 above → 90/10 live; Fast Pass: 80/20 sim → 90/10 live | Depends on when the evaluation was bought. Bought before 2026-07-06: flat 80/20 in favor of the trader. Bought on/after 2026-07-06 the split is set by the size of the SINGLE withdrawal request, not by accumulated profit: 50/50 below the threshold, 80/20 at or above it. Thresholds by starting funded balance are $1,500 on 25K, $2,250 on 50K, $3,000 on 100K, $4,000 on 150K and $5,000 on 200K. $400K Trader Career Path accounts are a fixed 60/40. The firm's share is deducted monthly or at each withdrawal. |

TradeDay in one paragraph
A credible payout-reliability anchor: true day-one payouts on Quick Pay with $250 minimum and no cap, $0 activation, no daily loss limit, a documented transition to live capital, and a founder who publishes pass rates (36% Jan-Jun 2026). Three tolls to know: Quick Pay pays 50/50 any time current profit sits below $4,000 — it recurs, it isn't a one-off on the first $4K; Quick Pay funded accounts run intraday trailing even if you paid for the EOD eval; and Fast Pass accounts opened since 2026-07-26 carry a 45% consistency rule into the funded stage. Sim profit above $10,000 is forfeited at live review.

The trustworthy tortoise: ~10 years operating, honest published pass rates (8.89% in 2025), EOD drawdown in eval, weekly payouts from $100 with no funded consistency rule, and a genuine path to real live capital. The split is no longer a straight 80/20: on evaluations bought from 2026-07-06 onward, 80/20 only applies to withdrawal requests at or above a size-based threshold, and anything below it pays 50/50. The hard daily loss limit, the LiveSim ceiling (the stage runs only to the first $5,000 of profit, $4,000 net) and slower scaling make it a diversifier or safe anchor, not a primary.
