Data-driven comparison · checked Aug 11, 2026
We track 7 The Funded Trader products and 3 from TradeDay that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. These firms sell different instruments — The Funded Trader runs CFD products and TradeDay runs futures — so treat the tables below as a fit comparison, not a like-for-like price race. The Funded Trader offers USD 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.
Winning value on each row is marked. Ties are flagged. Empty cells mean we don't have that data point yet.
The table above compares the two firms. This one compares the products you actually buy — 10 of them, each with its own price, split, drawdown rule and source date.

Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.

R-multiple is break-even profit divided by that product's own maximum permitted loss — under 1.00 means you can lose more than you need to make to win the fee back. Day count assumes 1% account growth per day, capped by the product's own daily loss limit. Blank cells are figures the firm does not publish.

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. 12 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

New TradeDay Fast Pass accounts use funded consistency
An account's open date now changes payout eligibility. Check whether the 45% rule applies before sizing a payout request.
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.
Every figure above is read from these pages. Products older than 30 days are removed from the comparison until they are recaptured, so a missing product means stale data, not a discontinued plan.
Scored out of 5 by Trustpilot users, not by us. Where Trustpilot has pulled a firm's aggregate rating we say so rather than leaving a blank.
