Pick FTMO if…
- you'd rather avoid a consistency rule: FTMO 2-Step lists none; every TradeDay plan has one (30%–45%)
- you want the fee back: FTMO 2-Step is refundable; no TradeDay fee is
- you want a static loss floor: FTMO 2-Step's 10% max loss is static; every TradeDay product trails

Pick TradeDay if…
- you want an early first payout: TradeDay Quick Pay pays from day 1 at a 50% split (FTMO: day 14)
- you trade futures: every TradeDay product is a futures evaluation; FTMO lists none
- you trade on NinjaTrader: TradeDay supports it; FTMO doesn't list it

Evidence summary
Evidence summary
Available product sources · earliest check Oct 14, 2026
We track 3 FTMO products and 3 from TradeDay that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate; source checks range from 2026-10-14 to 2026-10-21. These firms sell different instruments — FTMO runs CFD products and TradeDay runs futures — so treat the tables below as a fit comparison, not a like-for-like price race. FTMO offers EUR one-time; TradeDay offers USD monthly at this tier. No currency-and-billing class appears on both sides, so we neither convert currencies nor rank a recurring floor against a fixed total.

FTMO's own products disagree on 11 terms. On evaluation steps it is 1-step on FTMO Challenge: 1-Step, versus 2-step on FTMO Challenge: 2-Step, versus instant funding on FTMO Instant Account. Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.

Rule-by-rule, product by product
Each cell shows every value that firm's current products hold. Where a firm disagrees with itself the products are named — those are the rows a firm-level table has to flatten, and the ones that decide whether your strategy is allowed. 11 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

TradeDay disagrees on Fast Pass days and a payout cap
The comparison leaves the minimum-day field unknown and does not choose a disputed 100K cap. Confirm both rules for the exact account before purchase or payout.

TradeDay monthly prices were tied to a 55%-off promotion
Treat the table price as a dated promotional snapshot. Recheck the first month, renewal, and reset totals before paying.
