Loading...Cost is one of the clearest differentiators here. My Funded Futures undercuts the competition significantly at $75 versus $175 — a $100 gap on the $50K challenge alone. For a trader planning two or three attempts, that could mean saving $200 to $300 in total fees. Check available My Funded Futures discount codes for additional savings.
With matching 80% profit splits, neither firm has a financial edge on earnings. Your take-home pay will be identical for the same trading results, so the real comparison shifts to drawdown policies, trading flexibility, and how quickly you can access your funds.
TradeDay provides $2,000 of drawdown room compared to $1,500 — an extra $500 buffer that can be the difference between surviving a losing streak and blowing an account.
My Funded Futures requires fewer minimum trading days (1 vs 5).
TradeDay has no daily loss limit, whereas My Funded Futures restricts daily losses to $1,000. These operational differences can shape your day-to-day experience, particularly if your strategy depends on volatility around economic releases or requires more intraday flexibility.

TradeDay

My Funded Futures enforces a 50% consistency rule — no single day can account for more than 50% of your total earnings. TradeDay has no such rule, giving you freedom to have outsized winning days without penalty.
For beginners, TradeDay has an edge thanks to more forgiving drawdown, no consistency rule. These features reduce the pressure while you are still developing consistency. That said, both firms are viable — the best choice depends on your specific trading approach and budget.
