TopOne Futures vs TradeDay
Side-by-side on the metrics that actually matter: true cost to funded, drawdown type, profit split and payout speed.
Quick verdict
- TradeDay is $276 cheaper to get funded on a 50K account ($131 vs $407, activation fees included).
- TradeDay bills monthly, so its cost goes up for every extra month it takes you to pass. TopOne Futures is a one-time fee.
- TopOne Futures uses end-of-day drawdown, which is more forgiving than TradeDay's intraday trailing drawdown. Open profit that you give back doesn't count against you.
- TopOne Futures has a consistency rule on the funded account, which can hold up payouts after a big day. TradeDay doesn't. Rule: 40% funded, none on eval.
- TradeDay pays out faster (after 1 day, $250 minimum vs every 5 days).
