Our verdict
Data-driven comparison · checked Aug 11, 2026
We track 2 FTMO products and 3 from TradeDay that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. 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.

Product-level: FTMO vs TradeDay
The table above compares the two firms. This one compares the products you actually buy — 5 of them, each with its own price, split, drawdown rule and source date.
We track 2 FTMO products and 3 from TradeDay that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. 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 8 terms. On evaluation steps it is 1-step on FTMO Challenge: 1-Step, versus 2-step on FTMO Challenge: 2-Step. 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. 8 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

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.
