Pricing: Accounts with Intraday Drawdown: $99-$300/m | Accounts with End-of-Day Drawdown: $165-$375 | Accounts with Static Drawdown: $150-$350

TradeDay’s been around since 2020, founded by folks with 80+ years combined experience in futures – we’re talking former prop desk managers, hedge fund traders, bank trading groups, that whole world. CEO James Thorpe ran Mercury Derivatives and Clear Capital, co-founder Steve Miley headed technical research at Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse, and Tera Vicker traded bonds full-time for a decade. The eval challenge hits three objectives: reach your profit target to prove the strategy works, trade minimum seven days to show consistency over time, and keep your biggest winning day under 30% of total profits so you’re not gambling on huge risks. Guidelines are simple – close everything before market close daily, only trade approved CME futures products, stay within position limits. One rule breaks you: exceed max drawdown and the eval’s done, though you can reset immediately for $99 or wait for your next subscription cycle and they reset it free. Pass the eval and you get day-one payouts starting at 80% profit share, scaling up to 95% as you grow the account. They stopped charging monthly fees once you’re funded, which differs from competitors who keep billing. You can run up to six accounts simultaneously. Platforms include NinjaTrader, Jigsaw Trading, TradeDayX, Quantower, and Tradovate.

Discount: Try Zacks Premium free for 30 days

Pricing: Zacks Premium: $249 per year | Basic stock screener free to use on their website

Zacks built their entire platform around one core insight from their MIT PhD founder back in 1978, that earnings estimate revisions drive stock prices more than anything else. That discovery led to the Zacks Rank, a purely quantitative rating system that’s averaged over 23% annual returns since 1988, more than doubling the S&P 500. What makes their approach different is that it’s completely mathematical with no Wall Street influence or subjective opinions affecting the ratings. Beyond the Rank, they’ve developed tools like the Earnings ESP that predicts surprise probability before reports drop, and the Most Accurate Estimate, which identifies which analyst’s numbers are most likely correct rather than just using consensus. Their Price Response Indicator forecasts how stocks will react post-earnings. They’ve extended the methodology to mutual funds and ETFs with proprietary ranking systems focused on future performance rather than just past results. The research combines their quantitative models with equity analyst insights for a hybrid approach.
