What you need to make, phase by phase
| Stage | Target | In R at 0.38% a trade | Minimum days | Time limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Challenge | 6% ($3,000) | 15.8R | None | No limit |
| Funded: first payout | 0.5% ($250) | 1.3R | 5 days | – |
R is the amount you lose on one losing trade. At 0.38% risk, 1R is $190.
How to pass the TradeDay Fast Pass 50K
- Risk about 0.38% a trade ($190). That was the risk that gave the best chance of passing and getting paid on these rules in our benchmark. Bigger trades finish sooner when they work but breach the limits far more often; smaller trades are safer but can take months. At this size the target needs about 15.8R of net profit, meaning 15.8 times your risk on one trade. The position size calculator turns that into lots or contracts.
- Set your own daily stop. There is no daily loss limit to fail, so the only thing that stops a bad day is you. A stop of about a third of the maximum loss (3 losses at 0.38%, about $570) means no single day can end the account.
- Protect open profit: the drawdown trails. Your floor is $2,000 below your highest balance, and it moves up every time you make a new high, so profit you give back counts against you just like a loss. Take partial profits or move stops to break-even once a trade is well in profit, and don't raise your size after a winning run. From any new high you have room for 10 losing trades in a row at 0.38%.
- Spread your profit: 45% consistency rule. No single day can be more than 45% of your total profit. To pass at exactly the 6% target, keep every day under about $1,350. If one day makes, say, $2,025, you have to keep trading until your total profit reaches $4,500, beyond the target.
- Pace yourself. There is no time limit, so don't raise your risk to finish sooner: time is on your side.
- Once funded. The first payout comes after 5 days, and you need at least 0.5% profit ($250, about 1.3R) first. With an 80% split, you keep $800 of every $1,000 of profit. Keep trading the same way you passed: the limits still apply, and the account can still be lost.
- Test your own strategy before you pay. The numbers above come from a made-up trader. Upload your backtest or trade history to see your own pass and payout chance on this account, and use the strategy builder to add a daily stop and loss guards set to these limits.
Mistakes that fail this account
- Letting a winning trade turn into a loser. With a trailing drawdown, a big open profit that comes back costs you room.
- One huge day. It can make the consistency rule hold back your pass until the rest of your profit catches up.
- Trading normal size. A 4% maximum loss is tight, so a size that feels small elsewhere is large here.
- Trading news or holding over weekends without checking TradeDay's own restrictions, which this page does not cover in full.
Rules to watch at TradeDay
Futures. Fast Pass 50K: $3,000 target, $2,000 end-of-day drawdown, 45% best-day consistency in the evaluation (and on Funded Sim accounts opened on or after 26 Jul 2026), no minimum days. Payouts: 5 profitable days of $150+, balance above start, $250 minimum, capped at 50% of balance ($1,500 on 50K from 26 Jul 2026, $2,000 before). 80% split on Funded Sim, 90% on Funded Live. TradeDay doesn't say when the end-of-day drawdown stops trailing, so PropPassCheck treats it as always trailing. Quick Pay (the other route) has the same targets and drawdowns but a 50/50 split up to $4,000. Source: tradeday.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/103000405229-what-is-fast-pass-
What it really costs to get funded
A challenge fee buys an attempt, not an account. If you divide the fee by the chance of success, you get what the average trader actually spends, retries included, before it pays off.
- At a 39% pass chance, every $100 of fee works out at about $256 spent for each account that gets funded.
- At a 26% chance of passing and reaching a first payout, every $100 of fee works out at about $385 for each first payout.
- At $248 for $50K, that is about $636 per funded account and $954 per first payout.
These use our benchmark trader's odds, not yours. A stronger strategy pays less per success and a weaker one pays more, which is why it is worth testing your own trades first. Many firms refund the fee with the first payout; check TradeDay's terms.
