Read before you buy
The fine print, in plain English
Taken from their own pages. These are the rules most likely to cost you money.
Monthly subscription, not a one-time fee
Evaluations are billed per month (e.g. 50K $59/month on sale), and the footer says subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law.
Quick Pay is a 50/50 split until $4,000 profit
On Quick Pay funded accounts you get only 50% of payouts unless the account holds more than $4,000 profit after the payout. The 80/20 split applies only above that cushion.
US territories excluded
Residents of Puerto Rico, Guam and the US Virgin Islands are on the prohibited list imposed by TradeDay's FCM.
KYC with proof of address; failing it means no refund
The broker runs KYC/AML at funding and requires ID plus a bank statement or utility bill. If you fail (the help center gives a felony conviction as an example), there is no refund.
