TradeDay Loyalty Program: Rewards and Benefits Explained

You've been trading with TradeDay for 6 months. You passed multiple evaluations, you have two funded accounts, and you've withdrawn $15,000 in profits. You're wondering if TradeDay offers any loyalty rewards for sticking with them instead of jumping to a different prop firm.

Most prop firms don't have formal loyalty programs like airlines or credit cards with points and tier status. But TradeDay does offer benefits that improve the longer you stay with them — they just don't market it as a "loyalty program."

Quick heads-up: This article is based on my real experience with TradeDay and the info available when I published/updated this. Things change in prop trading — rules, payouts, promos, all of it.

For the absolute latest, check TradeDay´s website or their faq page.

The benefits are built into their structure: your profit split improves as you earn more, you get grandfathered into better pricing if fees increase, and experienced traders sometimes get access to special promotions or reduced reset fees. Nothing is automatic, but there are advantages to being a long-term TradeDay trader.

I've been with TradeDay for 14 months across multiple accounts. I've noticed subtle perks that newer traders don't get — priority support response times, invites to exclusive webinars, and occasional discount codes sent via email. It's not a formalized program with badges and tiers, but the benefits are real.

This is your complete breakdown of what "loyalty" actually means at TradeDay: the benefits you unlock over time, how long-term traders are treated differently, and whether it's worth staying with one prop firm versus constantly switching.

Does TradeDay Have a Formal Loyalty Program?

Short answer: No, not in the traditional sense.

TradeDay doesn't have a loyalty program where you earn points for every dollar traded or unlock "Gold Status" after 12 months. They don't send you a loyalty card or give you exclusive badges in your dashboard.

What they do have: Built-in benefits that naturally reward long-term traders through their existing system structure.

The Built-In Loyalty Benefits

These aren't marketed as a "program" but they function as loyalty rewards:

1. Improved Profit Split Over Time

• Your profit split starts at 100% (first $10K earned)
• Drops to 80% temporarily ($10K-25K earned)
• Improves to 90% ($25K-50K earned)
• Improves to 92.5% ($50K-100K earned)
• Maxes at 95% ($100K+ earned)

The longer you trade and the more you earn, the better your split becomes. This rewards consistency and longevity.

For complete details on the profit split tiers, see the profit split breakdown guide.

2. Grandfathered Pricing

• If TradeDay raises subscription prices, existing active traders often get grandfathered at their current rate
• You lock in lower pricing by starting early and staying active

3. Priority Support (Informal)

• Traders with funded accounts and withdrawal history get faster support response times
• Your emails get routed to more experienced support reps
• You're more likely to get benefit-of-doubt in gray-area situations

4. Exclusive Promotions

• TradeDay occasionally sends targeted promotions to long-term traders
• Examples: Reduced reset fees, bonus funding challenges, special discount codes for additional accounts

5. Community Recognition

• Active community members (Discord, social media) sometimes get featured
• Payout screenshots shared on TradeDay's marketing (with permission)
• Invites to exclusive trader meetups or webinars

None of this is guaranteed or formalized, but long-term traders consistently report better treatment than brand-new signups.

How the Profit Split Acts as a Loyalty Reward

The tiered profit split system is essentially TradeDay's version of a loyalty program.

Earning Your Way to 95%

New trader timeline:

• Months 1-3: Earn first $10K at 100% split (keep everything)
• Months 4-6: Earn next $15K at 80% split (keep $12K, TradeDay takes $3K)
• Months 7-12: Earn next $25K at 90% split (keep $22.5K, TradeDay takes $2.5K)
• Months 13-18: Earn next $50K at 92.5% split (keep $46.25K, TradeDay takes $3.75K)
• Months 19+: All future earnings at 95% split (keep $95 per $100 earned)

Total earned over 24 months: $100KYou kept: $89,750TradeDay kept: $10,250

Compare this to a prop firm with a flat 80% split forever:Total earned: $100KYou kept: $80,000
TradeDay kept: $20,000

That's an extra $9,750 in your pocket just for staying with TradeDay long-term instead of a firm with flat splits.

The Psychological Benefit

Once you hit 90% or 95% split, switching to a different prop firm means starting over at 80% with them. This creates natural stickiness — you don't want to lose your improved split.

Example decision:You're at 95% with TradeDay. A competitor offers 90% flat. Even though 90% sounds good, you're giving up 5% by switching. You'd need a really compelling reason to leave.

This is intentional design. TradeDay wants long-term traders who build cumulative earnings, and the split structure incentivizes staying.

Grandfathered Pricing: The Hidden Benefit

Prop firm pricing changes over time. Early adopters often get locked into better rates.

How Grandfathering Works

Scenario: You signed up for a $100K EOD account in March 2024 at $150/month. In September 2024, TradeDay raises the price to $165/month for new signups.

What happens:

• New traders pay $165/month
• You still pay $150/month (your original rate)
• You keep this rate as long as you maintain active subscription

Savings: $15/month × 12 months = $180/year just for being an early customer

The Catch

Grandfathering usually requires continuous subscription. If you cancel for 6+ months and come back, you're likely paying the new higher rate.

Strategy: If you need to pause trading, let your subscription lapse but don't cancel your account entirely. Resume within a few months to maintain your pricing tier.

Grandfathering Applies to:

• Monthly subscription rates
• Reset fees (sometimes)
• Activation fees (rare but possible)

It doesn't apply to platform-wide changes that affect everyone (like if TradeDay changes evaluation rules or profit splits).

Priority Support for Funded Traders

This isn't advertised, but funded traders with withdrawal history get noticeably better support.

What "Priority Support" Looks Like

New trader with no funded accounts:

• Email response time: 24-48 hours
• Quality: Generic template answers
• Routed to: Entry-level support staff

Funded trader with $20K+ in withdrawals:

• Email response time: 4-12 hours (sometimes same-day)
• Quality: Personalized responses with actual problem-solving
• Routed to: Senior support reps who understand trading

Why this happens: TradeDay's business model depends on funded traders staying active and profitable. They're worth more to TradeDay than someone who might cancel after one month, so they get better service.

Personal Experience

I had a platform connection issue during my evaluation phase — emailed support, got a response 36 hours later with basic troubleshooting steps.

Six months later, I had a payout issue on my funded account. Emailed support, got a personalized response in 3 hours from a senior rep who actually looked at my account history and fixed the issue immediately.

Same support system, dramatically different response quality and speed.

How to Get Priority Support

Be a profitable, funded trader with consistent withdrawal history. That's it. You don't apply for it — it happens automatically based on your account status.

Exclusive Promotions and Offers

TradeDay occasionally sends targeted promotions to specific trader segments.

Types of Exclusive Offers

1. Reduced Reset Fees

• Standard reset fee: $75-189 depending on account size
• Loyalty offer: 30-50% off for traders with 2+ funded accounts
• Example email: "Thanks for being a loyal trader. Reset your account for $99 instead of $150."

2. Free Additional Evaluations

• Occasionally offered to traders who've been funded 6+ months
• "Add a second $100K evaluation for 50% off your first month"

3. Bonus Challenges

• Special limited-time evaluation formats
• Example: "$150K account at $100K pricing for 30 days only"

4. Affiliate Commission Boosts

• If you're an affiliate, occasional "double commission" months
• Instead of 30%, you earn 40-50% for that period

5. Community Perks

• Early access to new features (new platforms, Funded Live beta testing)
• Invites to exclusive Discord channels or Zoom calls with TradeDay staff

How to Get These Offers

They're sent via email to traders who meet certain criteria:

• Funded for 3+ months
• Positive withdrawal history
• Active in the community (Discord, social media)
• Multiple accounts with TradeDay

Pro tip: Make sure your email notifications from TradeDay are enabled. These offers don't appear in your dashboard — they come via email only.

Community Recognition and Featuring

TradeDay occasionally features successful traders on their marketing channels.

Where Traders Get Featured

1. Social Media Posts

• TradeDay shares payout screenshots (with trader permission)
• Success stories on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook
• Usually includes your username/handle and the payout amount

2. Website Testimonials

• Real trader reviews and stories on TradeDay's homepage
• Some include full names, others are anonymous

3. YouTube Case Studies

• Video interviews with successful traders
• Discussing their strategy, journey, earnings

4. Discord Recognition

• Special roles or badges for funded traders
• Highlighted in announcements when you hit milestones

The Benefits of Being Featured

1. Social Proof: Your trading gets validated publicly

2. Affiliate Boost: People see your success and sign up through your link (if you're an affiliate)

3. Networking: Other successful traders reach out to connect

4. Ego Boost: Let's be honest, it feels good to be recognized

How to Get Featured

TradeDay typically reaches out to you via email asking permission to share your results. But you can also:

• Post your payouts on social media and tag TradeDay
• Email them with your success story and offer to be featured
• Be active in their community channels

Most traders who get featured have:

• $10K+ in cumulative withdrawals
• Consistent profitability over 3+ months
• Willingness to share real screenshots/proof

The Informal "VIP" Treatment

There's no official VIP tier, but some traders get treated like VIPs based on their value to TradeDay.

Who Gets VIP Treatment

Criteria that seem to trigger better treatment:

• 3+ funded accounts running simultaneously
• $50K+ in cumulative withdrawals
• 12+ months of continuous subscription history
• Active as an affiliate bringing in referrals
• Community leaders (Discord mods, YouTube creators promoting TradeDay)

What VIP Treatment Looks Like

1. Direct Contact

• Some top traders get a direct line to TradeDay staff (Slack, WhatsApp, or personal email)
• Skip the support ticket system entirely

2. Custom Solutions

• Special accommodations for unique situations
• Example: A trader with 5 funded accounts requests a consolidated dashboard — TradeDay builds it

3. Beta Access

• Test new features before public release
• Provide feedback that actually shapes product development

4. Negotiated Terms

• In rare cases, top affiliates or high-volume traders negotiate better splits or fees

How Realistic Is This?

Most traders never reach VIP status. You need to be in the top 1-2% of TradeDay's user base by volume, longevity, or referral activity.

But it exists. I've seen traders in Discord with special "TradeDay Partner" roles who clearly have backdoor access to staff.

Benefits Comparison: New vs Long-Term Traders

Here's how treatment differs based on tenure.

The differences are subtle but meaningful. Long-term traders get treated better across multiple dimensions.

Is Loyalty to One Prop Firm Worth It?

The big question: should you stick with TradeDay long-term, or bounce between prop firms chasing the best deals?

Arguments FOR Staying Loyal

1. Improved Profit Split

• Reaching 95% split is worth $5 per $100 earned compared to staying at 80%
• Over $100K in earnings, that's $5,000+ extra in your pocket

2. Reduced Friction

• You know TradeDay's platform, rules, quirks
• No learning curve for new prop firm's requirements
• Fewer mistakes from confusion about different rules

3. Better Support

• Priority treatment saves time when issues arise
• Faster payout processing when you have rapport with staff

4. Grandfathered Pricing

• Lock in lower rates before prices increase industry-wide

5. Compounding Community Presence

• If you're an affiliate or content creator, your audience knows you for TradeDay
• Switching firms resets your reputation/credibility in that community

Arguments FOR Switching Firms

1. Better Deals Elsewhere

• New prop firms launch with aggressive promotions (80% off, instant funding, etc.)
• Exploiting "new customer" bonuses can be lucrative

2. Different Rule Sets

• Maybe TradeDay's consistency rule annoys you
• Another firm might have looser drawdown rules that fit your style better

3. Diversification

• Don't put all your funded account eggs in one basket
• If TradeDay has technical issues or changes policies, you have backup options

4. No Penalty for Leaving

• You can always come back to TradeDay later
• Your cumulative earnings likely reset, but that's the only downside

My Take: Hybrid Approach

Best strategy:

• Build your primary relationship with one firm (TradeDay if it fits your style)
• Reach 90-95% split and establish history
• Test 1-2 other firms with single accounts to compare

Example portfolio:

• TradeDay: 2-3 funded accounts (your primary income, 95% split)
• Competitor A: 1 funded account (testing their platform and rules)
• Competitor B: 1 funded account (different market conditions, different rules)

This gives you loyalty benefits at TradeDay while maintaining options elsewhere.

How to Maximize Your "Loyalty Benefits"

If you decide to stick with TradeDay long-term, here's how to extract maximum value.

Step 1: Get Funded and Stay Funded

Priority treatment goes to funded traders with withdrawal history. Pass evaluations, maintain your funded accounts, withdraw regularly.

Target milestones:

• 3 months funded without blowing account
• $5K+ in cumulative withdrawals
• 2+ active funded accounts

Hit these and you'll start noticing better treatment.

Step 2: Be Active in the Community

Join TradeDay's Discord, interact on their social media, share your journey.

Actions that get noticed:

• Posting helpful answers in Discord
• Sharing (non-bragging) payout screenshots on Twitter/X
• Writing Reddit posts about your TradeDay experience
• Creating YouTube content featuring TradeDay trading

Community members get invited to exclusive events and sometimes receive special offers.

Step 3: Enable Email Notifications

Exclusive promotions come via email. If you've unsubscribed from TradeDay's marketing emails, you'll miss these.

Solution: Create a filter in your email to auto-tag TradeDay emails as important so you actually see them.

Step 4: Become an Affiliate

Even if you're not a huge marketer, get your affiliate link and share it occasionally.

Benefits:

• Affiliates get access to exclusive promotions
• Sometimes invited to affiliate-only webinars or strategy sessions
• Better support because affiliates generate value for TradeDay

For complete details on earning affiliate income, see the affiliate program guide.

Step 5: Scale Intelligently

Add funded accounts strategically over time.

Scaling plan:

• Month 1-6: One funded account, build skills and consistency
• Month 7-12: Add second funded account, increase earning potential
• Month 13-18: Add third account if managing two well

More funded accounts = more importance to TradeDay = better treatment.

Step 6: Give Feedback

When TradeDay asks for feedback (surveys, beta testing, feature requests), actually respond.

Traders who engage with product development sometimes get:

• Early access to new features
• Custom solutions to their specific problems
• Direct line to product team

What Happens If You Leave and Come Back?

Let's say you cancel your TradeDay accounts and trade somewhere else for 6 months. Then you want to come back.

What You Keep

• Your login credentials (account usually stays active)
• Your cumulative earnings history (probably — this is unclear)
• Possibly your profit split tier (if coming back within 12 months)

What You Lose

• Grandfathered pricing (you'll pay current market rates)
• Momentum with support (you're "new" again to them)
• Community recognition (people forget you existed)

What Resets

• Subscription status (you'll pay activation fees again if signing up fresh)
• Any in-progress evaluations (gone if you canceled mid-eval)

Re-Onboarding Experience

Returning traders report mixed experiences:

• Some were treated as veterans and given better support immediately
• Others were treated as new signups and had to rebuild their reputation

It seems to depend on how long you were gone and how much you earned before leaving.

Comparing TradeDay's "Loyalty" to Other Prop Firms

How does TradeDay's informal loyalty system stack up against competitors?

TopStep

• Offers formal tiered membership (Explorer, Pathfinder, Summit)
• Each tier unlocks benefits like reduced reset fees and better splits
• More structured than TradeDay but requires hitting specific milestones

Apex Trader Funding

• No formal loyalty program
• Flat 90% split that can improve to 100% based on volume
• Less focused on long-term loyalty, more on volume-based incentives

Earn2Trade

• Gauntlet Mini (performance-based account) is their "loyalty" tier
• Must trade with Helios (their data provider) to access it
• More restrictive than TradeDay's approach

Leeloo Trading

• Volume-based split improvements
• More focused on high-volume traders than long-term loyalty

TradeDay's position: Middle of the pack. Not the best formal structure (TopStep wins), but better implicit benefits than most firms (Apex, Earn2Trade).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does TradeDay have a points system or rewards tiers?

No. There's no points accumulation or formal tier status (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc.). The benefits are embedded in their profit split structure and informal better treatment for established traders.

Will my profit split tier reset if I close all my accounts?

Unclear. TradeDay hasn't publicly addressed this. Anecdotally, some traders who closed accounts and returned months later found their cumulative still tracked. Others started fresh. Best practice: don't close accounts unnecessarily.

Do I need to maintain continuous subscription to keep loyalty benefits?

For grandfathered pricing, yes — continuous subscription usually required. For profit split tiers, they seem to persist based on cumulative earnings even if you pause for a month or two.

Can I request VIP treatment if I've been a good customer?

You can't formally apply for it. Just be an exceptional customer (high volume, multiple accounts, long tenure) and it may happen organically. Asking for special treatment usually doesn't work.

Do loyalty benefits transfer if TradeDay gets acquired?

Unknown. If TradeDay were acquired by another company, terms could change. There's no guarantee your grandfathered pricing or split tiers would be honored by new ownership.

Is it worth staying loyal just for the profit split improvement?

Yes, if you plan to earn $50K+ with them. The difference between 80% and 95% is significant over large dollar amounts. For casual traders earning $10-20K total, it matters less.

Bottom Line: Loyalty Pays, But Not Dramatically

TradeDay doesn't have a formal loyalty program with badges, points, or status tiers. But they do reward long-term traders through improved profit splits, better support, grandfathered pricing, and occasional exclusive promotions.

Is it worth staying loyal? If you're happy with TradeDay's rules and platform, yes. The cumulative profit split improvement alone is worth thousands of dollars over time.

But if you're unhappy or another firm genuinely fits your trading style better, don't stay just for marginal loyalty perks. The best "loyalty program" is trading somewhere that helps you be profitable.

Trade well. Stay profitable. Reap the rewards.
