About Us

OUR STORY

Trading is hard. Most people who try it from home do so without the guidance, mentoring, or support that comes with sitting on a professional trading desk. The odds are stacked against them.


TradeDay was built to change that. Founded in 2020 by James Thorpe and Steve Miley – with over 80 years of combined experience in the futures industry – TradeDay set out to create a virtual trading environment that gives independent traders the same advantages professionals have at proprietary trading groups, hedge funds, and banks, along with the capital to back successful strategies.


Since launch, TradeDay has funded thousands of traders worldwide, paid out over $10 million, and continued to evolve its product based on what traders actually need – from introducing multiple account types and drawdown structures to cutting evaluation requirements to get traders funded faster.
