    TradeDay Trading Rules Deep Dive

    The fine print that decides whether traders pass or breach. Each rule below uses TradeDay's specific values.

    TradeDay consistency rule explained

    Consistency Rule of 30%: Only during evaluation phase, Profits on a single trading day must not exceed 30% of the profit target. There is no consistency objective for funded traders.

    Worked example: on a $10,000 profit, if the rule caps a single day at 50% of total profit, no day can exceed $5,000 in P&L.

    News trading rules at TradeDay

    High-impact economic releases (NFP, FOMC, CPI) are when most prop firms enforce restrictions. At TradeDay, news trading is permitted without restrictions.

    Restriction to open any positions and be working no orders in the order book, from 2 minutes before the data release until 2 minutes after the data release.

    TradeDay drawdown calculation method
