Our story

Trading is difficult. Not everyone who tries it succeeds. In fact most who try fail.

Over the years many people have approached us as experienced traders and told us they were going to try trading from home. These casual approaches always troubled us as we knew that the odds were stacked against them, without the benefits of guidance, mentoring and support that comes with sitting on a trading desk with successful traders.

So we built TradeDay to change that.

We set out to create a ‘virtual trading room‘, an environment that offers as close as possible the advantages professionals have when they sit at their trading desk in a proprietary trading group, hedge fund, or bank, along with the ability to fund those with successful strategies.

The Team

We have 80 years of experience in the futures industry, including many, many years of successful trading, as both full-time and part-time traders. We have mentored and managed trading teams, built  trading groups, and educated hundreds in the art of trading. We are experienced traders!

HEAR WHY TRADERS ARE JOINING TRADEDAY

As a funded trader working with TradeDay, I can honestly say it’s been the best experience I’ve ever had with a prop firm. They are extremely reliable, quick on getting back to you regarding questions, and have the best payout policy in the industry. I highly recommend them if you’re trying to get funded as a trader.

Chris, US

I have nothing but great things to say about TradeDay. You have all of the educational resources at your fingertips for anyone who does not have any experience with trading Futures. Their payout policy and clear path to the live markets is unparalleled across the industry.

Herman, US

TradeDay is prop firm for the traders looking to build skills as well as currency. This firm has the best payout policy, and they also provide learning materials to assist all types of traders.

Better than the rest of them, TradeDay's support is fantastic and they have everything that can help you in your trading journey. All around a great company to give a chance if you’re getting started in futures trading for very little personal risk. No other prop firm beats their payout policies

They are the best. Best payout policy, best support, reasonable eval pricing, and the clearest and most transparent road to being a live-funded trader. Highly recommend.

Trade day has the resources, courses, and platform that actually encourages you to be a better trader and supports you in your career. The rules are challenging but I’ve noticed a positive trade in my trading.

Tradeday is by far my favorite prop-firm for 3 big reasons.

1. Trailing drawdown is end of day not intraday trailing.

2. They have the quickest pay outs with no restrictions.

3. Customer service is great and I’ve always received fast responses.

If you’re debating on what firm to use I highly recommend this company.
