TradeDay COMPARE No-Activation-Fee Entry Cost Guide
TradeDay currently lists a $0 activation fee across its futures evaluation cards, so a trader who passes on the first attempt does not add a separate activation charge to the discounted evaluation price. The active Futures Prop Firm Offers deal lists 55% off TradeDay futures evaluations with code COMPARE. Current base prices and the no-activation-fee statement were checked on TradeDay’s official pricing page on September 29, 2026.
Direct answer
| Item | Current detail | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Firm | TradeDay | Official firm |
| Product | Futures evaluation | Official pricing page |
| Onsite coupon | COMPARE | Futures Prop Firm Offers deal 17 |
| Onsite discount | 55% off | Futures Prop Firm Offers deal 17 |
| Activation fee | $0 on the current evaluation cards | Official pricing page |
| Price format | Displayed per month | Official pricing page |
| Coupon effect | Reduces evaluation purchase price | Onsite deal record |
| Rule effect | Does not change trading or payout rules | Program separation |
A $0 activation fee does not mean every possible future cost is zero. Resets, additional evaluation months, platform selections, taxes, or optional items must be checked separately when they apply.
Current Intraday prices and exact COMPARE savings
The exact discount formula is:
- Amount saved = original price × 0.55
- Final price = original price × 0.45
- First-attempt entry cost after passing = final evaluation price + $0 activation fee
| Firm | Account plan | Official original price | Onsite discount | Coupon | Exact amount saved | Exact final price | Activation fee | First-attempt entry cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TradeDay | $25K Intraday | $100.00 | 55% | COMPARE | $55.00 | $45.00 | $0 | $45.00 |
| TradeDay | $50K Intraday | $131.00 | 55% | COMPARE | $72.05 | $58.95 | $0 | $58.95 |
| TradeDay | $100K Intraday | $240.00 | 55% | COMPARE | $132.00 | $108.00 | $0 | $108.00 |
| TradeDay | $150K Intraday | $360.00 | 55% | COMPARE | $198.00 | $162.00 | $0 | $162.00 |
TradeDay currently displays the $50K discounted amount as $59. The exact 55% arithmetic is $58.95; checkout controls the payable total.
Current End-of-Day prices and exact COMPARE savings
| Firm | Account plan | Official original price | Onsite discount | Coupon | Exact amount saved | Exact final price | Activation fee | First-attempt entry cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TradeDay | $25K EOD | $130.00 | 55% | COMPARE | $71.50 | $58.50 | $0 | $58.50 |
| TradeDay | $50K EOD | $189.00 | 55% | COMPARE | $103.95 | $85.05 | $0 | $85.05 |
| TradeDay | $100K EOD | $330.00 | 55% | COMPARE | $181.50 | $148.50 | $0 | $148.50 |
| TradeDay | $150K EOD | $500.00 | 55% | COMPARE | $275.00 | $225.00 | $0 | $225.00 |
The official page displays some discounted prices as rounded whole-dollar amounts: $59, $85, $149 and $225. The table preserves exact percentage arithmetic while making the current display difference clear.
What “no activation fee” changes
An activation fee is a separate amount some programs charge after an evaluation is passed. TradeDay’s current pricing cards state “No activation fee.”
| Cost stage | First-attempt calculation | Included in coupon? |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation purchase | Original price × 0.45 | Yes, under the onsite 55% listing |
| Activation after passing | $0 currently listed | No discount needed |
| Evaluation reset | Separate current reset price | Do not assume coupon coverage |
| Additional evaluation month | Check current billing and account status | Confirm at checkout/dashboard |
| Optional platform or service | Check selected order | Confirm before payment |
The clean first-attempt calculation is therefore the discounted evaluation price plus zero activation fee. This assumes the account passes without a reset or extra billed month.
Intraday versus EOD price difference after discount
This table isolates the purchase-price difference between the full Intraday and EOD options at the same account size.
| Account size | Intraday exact final | EOD exact final | EOD premium after 55% discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $45.00 | $58.50 | $13.50 |
| $50K | $58.95 | $85.05 | $26.10 |
| $100K | $108.00 | $148.50 | $40.50 |
| $150K | $162.00 | $225.00 | $63.00 |
The higher EOD price reflects a different drawdown option and rule set. Choose by rules and trading fit, not only by fee.
Current rule snapshot attached to each price path
| Plan | Drawdown timing | Evaluation consistency | Minimum evaluation days | Activation fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intraday | Intraday trailing calculation | 30% | 5 | $0 |
| EOD | End-of-Day calculation | 45% | 3 | $0 |
TradeDay also shows hybrid EOD evaluation options that lead to an intraday funded drawdown. This article uses the standard Intraday and full EOD cards for a clean first-attempt comparison. Confirm the exact drawdown label selected.

First-attempt cost examples
| Scenario | Original price | 55% saving | Discounted evaluation | Activation | Total before other charges |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K Intraday | $100.00 | $55.00 | $45.00 | $0 | $45.00 |
| $50K Intraday | $131.00 | $72.05 | $58.95 | $0 | $58.95 |
| $100K EOD | $330.00 | $181.50 | $148.50 | $0 | $148.50 |
| $150K EOD | $500.00 | $275.00 | $225.00 | $0 | $225.00 |
These totals exclude resets, later billing, taxes, platform-specific additions, or optional purchases.
When the total can rise
Reset after a breach
A reset is a separate transaction. TradeDay lists reset prices on its current cards, but the onsite deal does not state that COMPARE changes reset pricing. Never extend coupon coverage beyond the evaluation purchase record.
More than one billed month
The current cards label prices “per month.” A longer evaluation duration can increase cumulative cost. Confirm billing status and cancellation rules directly in the account.
Different configuration
Platform, account, and drawdown choices can affect the displayed order. Recheck the final checkout instead of copying a price from another configuration.
| Cost-control action | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Save the selected plan name | Prevents drawdown-option mistakes |
| Screenshot the updated checkout | Records displayed code and total |
| Review reset terms | Separates purchase and recovery costs |
| Check monthly billing | Avoids assuming a one-time evaluation charge |
| Confirm $0 activation | Validates the current post-pass cost |
Bottom line
For a first-attempt pass, the current TradeDay entry-cost calculation is straightforward: apply COMPARE to reduce the selected evaluation by 55%, then add the officially listed $0 activation fee. Trading objectives remain unchanged, and any reset, extra month, or optional item must be budgeted separately.
