TradeDay FastPass vs QuickPay — 45% or 30% Consistency
TradeDay FastPass passes in three trading days; QuickPay takes five. FastPass caps your best day at 45% of total profit and imposes no minimum day count. QuickPay tightens that to 30% — the strictest evaluation consistency rule of the 23 we model — and adds a five-day minimum on top.
Two products, same firm, same targets, and a two-day gap in how fast you get funded.
By the end of this you will know which to buy, and the drawdown difference that matters more than either rule.

TradeDay rules: the drawdown swap nobody mentions
The consistency percentages get all the attention. The mechanic underneath them matters more.
| FastPass | QuickPay | |
|---|---|---|
| Consistency | 45% of total profit | 30% of total profit |
| Minimum trading days | None | 5 |
| Drawdown type | End of day | Intraday |
| Fastest legal pass | 3 days | 5 days |
FastPass uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown. QuickPay uses an intraday one.
That is a bigger deal than nine percentage points of consistency. An intraday trail follows your live equity high including unrealised profit — let a trade run in your favour and hand it back, and your stop-out has permanently tightened without you taking a loss. An end-of-day trail recalculates once on your closing balance, so intraday swings are free.
So QuickPay is harder in three separate ways: a tighter ratio, a longer minimum, and a less forgiving drawdown. What you get back is a shorter payout cycle once funded. That is a real benefit, but be clear that you are paying for it three times over.
Why 45% means three days and 30% means four
Consistency rules are just arithmetic. Your best day divided by your total profit must land under the cap.
- 45%: two days would put your best at 50% — over. Three roughly equal days sit near 33%. Three days.
- 30%: three days at 33% is over. Four equal days sit at 25%. Four days — then the five-day minimum overrides it.
Neither rule fails your account if you break it. You simply need more total profit to bring the ratio back under the line.
The numbers, which are identical
| Account | Profit target | Max loss limit | Daily loss limit | Max contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | None | 5 |
| 100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | None | 10 |
| 150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | None | 15 |
Same on both products. Neither has a daily loss limit — the trailing drawdown is the only thing that can end either account. Combined with QuickPay's intraday trail, that means on QuickPay there is nothing at all standing between a bad session and a walked-up threshold.
Worked example — 50K
FastPass: $1,000 + $1,000 + $1,000. Best day is 33% of the $3,000 total, inside 45%. Done in three days, with no minimum to serve.
QuickPay: $750 × 4, each 25% of the total, inside 30%. Target met on day four. Day five is a single small trade to satisfy the minimum — keep it tiny, because the intraday threshold is still live and you have already won.

Frequently asked
How fast can you pass TradeDay FastPass?
Three trading days. TradeDay imposes no minimum trading days on FastPass, so the only constraint is the 45% consistency rule, which mathematically requires at least three days of roughly equal profit.
What is TradeDay QuickPay's consistency rule?
30% of total profit on your best day — the strictest evaluation consistency rule among the firms we model. The arithmetic alone forces four days, and a five-day minimum trading day requirement pushes the pass out to five.
Should I choose FastPass or QuickPay?
FastPass if you want funded sooner: three days, no minimum, and a more forgiving end-of-day drawdown. QuickPay if withdrawal speed after funding matters more than getting there quickly — but note it is harder on all three counts.
