Use "PFK" at TradeDay – 50% Off Challenge Fees (2026)

This is a trader playbook for TradeDay: apply code PFK, cut the evaluation fee by 50%, then read the rules that actually decide whether the account fits your strategy.

Our database lists PFK at 50% off the challenge fee. Treat the discounted column as the total to expect — confirm it on the live checkout before you pay. Start at TradeDay, follow the numbered steps, then use the deep-rules section before you size up.

Playbook snapshot

Playbook: apply PFK in 5 steps

1. Open the TradeDay signup / challenge page from this guide (keeps the partner referral intact).
2. Choose your evaluation track (1-step evaluations: Intraday Trailing, EOD Trailing, Static ($50K–$150K)), then lock the account size you actually plan to trade.
3. Select your platform and continue to checkout — do not pay yet.
4. In the promo / discount field, type PFK exactly (no spaces). Apply it and watch the total recalculate.
5. Confirm the new total matches the 50% off column in the tables below. Only then complete payment.

Checkout discipline: one code at a time. If the site already shows a sale price, apply PFK once and trust the final number — do not assume stacking. If the total does not move, re-type the code, refresh, or compare the list price against the tables (prices can change after the audit date).

Fee tables with PFK applied (50% off)

All figures in USD from the 17 September 2026 database audit. List price = undiscounted fee on record. With PFK = list price less 30% (rounded as in the source tables). Re-check the live checkout — prop firms change fees without long notice.

()

All prices are one-time evaluation fees in USD. "List price" is the undiscounted fee in the audit records on 17 September 2026; "With PFK" is that fee less 30%, rounded to the nearest dollar. Profit target and maximum loss are the recorded parameters per tier. Here is what the TradeDay promo code is worth, if the rate holds.

Intraday Trailing

The cheapest format at every size.

Audit figures — match them on the firm’s site before you pay.

EOD Trailing

Same targets and loss limits as Intraday Trailing, priced $50–$75 higher per size for end-of-day measurement.

Audit figures — match them on the firm’s site before you pay.

Static

A different product: the loss allowance is a quarter of the trailing plans' ($500 instead of $2,000 on $50K) and the target is lower ($1,500 instead of $3,000). The name indicates a fixed loss line — confirm the mechanics on the plan page.

Audit figures — match them on the firm’s site before you pay.

Deep dive: TradeDay rules that decide the trade

A lower fee is worthless if the drawdown model fights your style. Parameters below are from the same audit date (17 September 2026) — confirm on the plan page before funding the cart.

A discount is only worth taking on an account you can realistically pass. These are the TradeDay parameters in our database as of 17 September 2026; several vary by plan, so check the plan page for your tier before paying.

• Format: one step. Reach the profit target without breaching the maximum loss over a minimum of 5 trading days and you qualify; there is no second phase.
• Profit target and maximum loss: per tier, as tabled above. The loss allowance does not scale with the account — $2,000 on $50K but only $4,000 on $150K — so larger accounts are relatively tighter.
• Drawdown type: trailing at firm level; the plan names tell you the variant. In general prop-firm usage an intraday trailing limit follows your high-water mark during the session, an end-of-day limit updates once a day, and a static limit stays fixed. TradeDay's plan page has the exact calculation.
• Daily loss limit: none recorded on the individual tiers, though the firm-level record carries a $2,000 figure — unconfirmed; check the plan page.
• Profit split: 80% is recorded on every evaluation tier; the firm-level record lists 95%. Confirm which applies to your funded account.
• Maximum allocation: $150,000, with a scaling plan.
• Payouts: on-demand; first payout recorded as available from day 1, by US bank wire, international wire or crypto (L1 and L2).
• Fee: not refundable; no free trial.
• Trading style: bots, scalping and copy trading allowed; news trading, weekend holding, hedging and HFT not allowed.
• Platforms: Tradovate (also the broker), NinjaTrader, TradingView, TradeDayX, Quantower, ATAS and Jigsaw.
• Payment: credit card or PayPal. US traders accepted. Live-chat support.

Is PFK worth using at checkout?

PFK is the code on file for TradeDay at 50% off the challenge fee. Discounted totals in the tables are calculated from audited list prices — they are the figures to match at checkout, not a guarantee the firm never changed a tier overnight.

Read the total like a trader:

• Matches the “With PFK” column → code applied; proceed.
• Higher than the column → re-enter PFK, or assume list prices moved after the audit.
• Lower than the column → the firm may be running its own sale; take the better live total, and do not assume stacking with PFK.

TradeDay playbook FAQ

Has the 50% discount been confirmed, and can it change?
Short version: not at checkout, at the time of writing; it is the rate in our database as of 17 September 2026. Partner codes can also be withdrawn or changed at any time — the check above tells you whether it is live today.

TradeDay's site is showing 55% off. Should I still use PFK?
From the records: Compare, don't assume. Apply PFK, note the total, then check what TradeDay's own promotion gives on the same plan, and pay the lower one. We are not claiming PFK beats the banner.

Does PFK stack with TradeDay's own promotions or other codes?
Playbook answer: no. Never assume a code stacks. One discount applies per order; if a promotional price is already displayed, PFK will not cut a further 50% from it.

Which TradeDay plans does PFK apply to?
From the records: our records list it against Intraday Trailing, EOD Trailing and Static at $50K, $100K and $150K. Confirm each tier at checkout.

Can US traders use TradeDay?
Direct answer: yes. TradeDay is a US-based firm and accepts US residents.

Is the TradeDay evaluation fee refundable?
Playbook answer: no, and there is no free trial, so choose your format carefully.

How do TradeDay payouts work?
Short version: On demand, with the first payout recorded as available from day 1, by US bank wire, international wire or crypto (L1/L2).
