Payout track record
TradeDay has paid traders since 2021 and claims more than $10 million in payouts by December 2025. Of the 1,443 Trustpilot reviews on October 7, 2026, only 108 are 1-2 stars, and our classification found payout denials in 11% of those (12 reviews over four years) and no complaints about late payouts; 46 of 175 recent 4-5 star reviews describe a payout received, often within hours.
Every denial we read was tied by the firm's reply to prohibited trade practices, shared IPs or multiple usernames, restricted countries or card fraud flags, and in August 2026 the firm said it approves over 98% of payout requests. The real cost is structural rather than late money: Quick Pay keeps 50% of the first $4,000 per account, the Funded Sim is frozen at $10,000 gross profit with the excess forfeited, and Fast Pass caps each request at $750 to $2,250. 0 rebuild.
